The trip was wonderful!! I highly recommend the Celebrity Beyond, and also using Denise for all your travel needs!
Denise does NOT disappoint! She booked our anniversary trip, a 9 night Italian Rivera and France cruise on the Celebrity Ascent! What an amazing trip! The ship was beautiful and the itinerary was an amazing and unforgettable experience! She recommended and booked a private tour in Naples, Italy with a local tour guide. He was such a delight and so much fun while we toured the city. She also sent us a recommendation for transportation to the airport in Rome for our flight returning home; the driver was early and we arrived to the airport in plenty of time for our long flight home. Every step of the way, she was quickly responsive to all of our travel questions and even sent us information for items we might need while traveling. We could not be more pleased and we will definitely contact Denise for our next trip!
Denise was fantastic when planning our honeymoon! She recommended fantastic resorts and planned our excursions, she was always quick to reply whenever we had questions or wanted to book something. We got our itinerary with a few other travel goodies in the mail the week of our trip which was amazing. I have recommended her to several friends to plan their honeymoons as well!
Denise did an AMAZING job helping my husband and I plan our Anniversary trip to Bora Bora. We usually plan our vacations ourselves but this time we wanted to make sure everything was taken care of and we did not miss anything. And we did not want to stress over anything in the planning! Denise listened to all of the details that were important to us and then got to work planning! If there were questions that we had or things she needed to ask, it was communicated in a very timely manner! Denise loves to travel and she loves to make your travel dreams come to life! She comes highly recommended from the Bullock’s. Share your dream vacation with her and sit back and relax while she puts your trip of a lifetime or a simple getaway vacation together for you. Happy Travels!!
