Family Cruisin
Reviewed By Theressa - Ontario | Traveled to Caribbean
I had such a great time chatting with Crystal about different types of cruises for me and my family. She totally understood how to accommodate a large family of different ages and many requests! I love that she first travels to many destinations on her own time and expense just so she can bring back actual stories and experiences!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
