April is a genuinely exceptional cruise planner. She took the time to understand my preferences and crafted a personalized itinerary that truly exceeded all expectations. From finding the best rates and staterooms to handling all the logistics with ease, she made the entire process stress-free.
April went above and beyond by securing me a place not only on the preview cruise, but also on the first-ever behind-the-scenes tour of the Celebrity Xcel - what an incredible honor! This level of dedication and personalized service is what sets her apart.
Her recommendation for the 'Bee & Honey Traditions of Cozumel with Hands-On Chocolate & Salsa' excursion was spot-on – it was so much fun! We also had amazing dining experiences thanks to April, including the incredible meals at Bora and the mind-blowing 10-course Chef's Table feast at Mosaic.
April's dedication to creating the perfect cruise experience is awe-inspiring. Thanks to her, my first cruise was truly unforgettable, and I'm already looking forward to booking my next one with her. I highly recommend her services to anyone planning a cruise vacation – you won't be disappointed!
