Cruise Planners Testimonials

Cruise Planners delivers. They have a solid reputation, welcoming family atmosphere and professional, personal service. From the first phone call our experience was golden. We knew immediately this was the right choice and their Corps Care program was an excellent final touch.

Crystal & Ric Rooney (Crystal served with the U.S. Air Force)

I’ve been a Cruise Planner for four and a half years. I had previously been in retail and have really enjoyed the flexibility, creativity and freedom of owning my own business. I love the support and relationships I have with other agents and the home office team - it’s a strong family atmosphere that we all benefit from. I highly recommend joining because it’s a great company and it’s definitely changed my life. It is, after all, how I met my husband! And I think it will change others' lives as well.

Tammy Lackey

John and I have been with Cruise Planners for 11 years and we are amazed at the exciting vehicles they constantly create for us to market to our clients. Thanks to the Creative Center, the home office can send us just about any size ad that fits our advertising needs - quickly.

Ruth & John Shaw

After working as an operating room nurse for 20 years, I wanted to do something that would broaden my horizons and allow me to share my love of travel with others. With hard work and the exceptional training, marketing assistance and all round support from the home office, I am now a full-time, home-based travel professional. Joining the Cruise Planners family was the best career choice I’ve ever made!
