KarenFinally getting around to sending you a big THANK YOU for all your help planning our Alaska Cruise. Princess was wonderful - so organized and we loved the ship. The medallion is such a great piece of technology. First time we’ve seen anything like that on a cruise ship. We’ve been telling everyone about our trip and lots of people have expressed interest in scheduling an Alaska cruise for themselves. We will certainly pass your contact information along. Thank you again and hope to arrange another vacation with you in the future.

Hi Rick,I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much everyone enjoyed our trip — many thanks to you! All the accommodations were just as I had expected…the Westgate Resort was particularly lovely and the kids had a great time. The timing of the transfers were perfect. The vehicle was top notch, clean and the driver(s) were both great. And of course, the ship and Disney are amazing. I can’t say enough about the quality; we are already talking about plans for next year! In fact, I’m wishing I would have signed up onboard for the next one.
Thanks again for all your help - I will definitely be in touch going forward :)

So-- we are not ready to commit to vacation travel yet but I wanted to thank you for your creative and inspiring communications. I know that the affects of the events of this year have had a serious impact on you and your business and I am very impressed that your emails are so cheerful!! We do hope that you both have stayed well. And we certainly hope to and want to make use of your travel services in the future. Thank you for your handwritten note earlier this year--those of become rather rare--that was most kind of you and appreciated. And in August when the "best of the best" in Tampa Bay were announced, we were pleased that a many others agreed with us about their travel consultants--Congratulations!
Gratefully,

It's a place I would recommend.

Amanda has been so great to work with! She has actually booked our last two cruises with Royal Caribbean and has been very thorough with each trip! We are currently working with her now for our next getaway and have sent her several couples who have also used her services. I love the fact that I have her (and ONLY her) to communicate with rather than customer service representatives. It's also great knowing she monitors our cruises for rate reductions and can lower the rate even after we have booked and deposited. That NEVER happened when I booked cruises online! She always gives us great guidance and suggestions based on our interests. She's always available; even nights and weekend to answer our questions which we love. We're so thankful to have found her to do the research for us! The fact that there is no charge for her service makes it a no brainer. I wish I knew the benefit of using a travel agent years ago!

No agent fees, saving time and money, plus plenty of "extras" ... I have to ask why WOULDN'T anyone use Amanda?! No more endless online searching. She is able to find the best price. No more trying to "bundle" hotel, flight, car, resort, excursions. She does all that for you. Whether is land or sea travel, Amanda is knowledgeable and works tirelessly to find the best vacation to suit your desires and needs.I just returned from a cruise she planned for me and a group that included my family and friends. We got onboard credit, a free dining night at one of the ship's luxury restaurants (usually an extra charge), plus discounts on our balcony room price AND goodies delivered to our room daily. If anyone had
a problem, she took care of it so they could enjoy the day. We wouldn't have had any of that had we booked it ourselves.
Amanda is also a certified Sandals expert, so anyone who is planning a destination wedding or honeymoon (or vacation!) needs to talk to her! I have referred her to friends and all have said wonderful things about their experience.
Want to get away? Let Amanda help you "get lost!"

Amanda is awesome! She helped us plan a semi private excursion to Tulum on our cruise. It was by far the highlight of our trip and was a much better experience then anything the cruise line was offering and at a better price! When you are planning ANY vacation call her! She doesn't charge you for her planning and goes above and beyond to make your vacation worth every penny. Don't use Google or Costco or Sam's use someone who truly cares about your experience and is available to you if anything unexpected happens during your trip. Not just for cruises either!

This is the second time we have booked a cruise through Salty Breeze Cruise Planners and I would not think of booking through anyone else. Several years ago, before we knew about them, we booked through another company and the customer service we received between the two is like night and day! Rick and Karen's knowledge is outstanding! They helped me find the right ship, cabin, and excursions for our family's time frame and budget. They are absolutely amazing! Talking to Rick and Karen feels like talking to family. I am a very detailed person and ask a lot of questions and they are always so patient with me, quickly responding to any questions I have. They truly go above and beyond in their customer service! I don't usually take the time to write testimonials, but I am doing this because I am so impressed with Salty Breeze Cruise Planners and so thankful for all of their help!This is the second time we have booked a cruise through Salty Breeze Cruise Planners and I would not think of booking through anyone else.

After 3 wonderful weeks, we are home again. As much as we enjoyed New York, Edinburgh and Dublin, the Queen Mary 2 was the best week ever. It was pure luxury—the service, the Britannia Restaurant, the choice of entertainment—everything was superb. The table you booked for 4 by the window was excellent and the food incredible. The ocean was smooth as glass; we had to remind ourselves that we were in the middle of the ocean! We met many interesting people from all over the world—some of whom have made many trips on the QM2. This definitely was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you for planning the cruise for us! We will certainly recommend Cruise Planners Thank you also for the gift credit. You and Rick should definitely book a cruise on the QM2!Thanks, Karen.

G Adventures delivered and Italy is beautiful. The accommodations at the Agriturisomo San Alfonso in in Furore were incredible. The owners Nickolai and Michaela and their staff made you feel like it was home. Michaela’s Traditional for the course Italian meals were some of the best food I experienced in Italia. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone. The Capo D’Africa was impeccable and an ideal location walking distance to the metro and many good bars/restaurants. Their continental breakfast was excellent. The Vatican tour was worth it and the transportation was appreciated. The Colosseum tour was informative, but Transportation was not necessary from where I was staying. An incredible trip— Thanks So Much.

Let me share with you the difference between what Amanda does vs your own internet search. My husband and I went on a cruise in May. I did not know Amanda before we booked our cruise but she was still able to help us with our excursion planning. My big goal for the trip was to visit Tulum. She helped us arrange for a small group tour (only 6 people total) of Tulum that included 1 hour guided tour and 1 hour for us to explore Tulum on our own AND at a better price than the cruise line was offering for their crowded 45 minute tour! The guides were great and we learned so much. It was a night and day difference from the excursion we booked on the cruise ship for Grand Cayman. That tour was rushed and was guided by a man we referred to as a drunk uncle (and not the fun one!)Long story short. If you want to have fun and get every dimes worth of entertainment from your vacation trust a pro to help with the planning! Call Amanda she'll make your vacation dreams come true!

Luckily it was only one night and we were looking forward to the cruise so it really was no issue.Thank you soooo much for all of your help!

He even followed the weather and knew when an excursion was cancelled due to rain. Who else would do that? I would recommend SaltyBreeze Cruise Planners to anyone.Wow!!!

The Alamo guys were great, the Jeep was in great condition (like new!), the whole day was perfect! We headed to the lighthouse and Punta Sur. We snorkeled there and it was beautiful, not so crowded and very clear. The restaurant, Peppito’s was right on the beach and the waiter served us in our beach chairs!
Thanks again for your outstanding service! We really enjoyed the trip.

“I wanted to have a very special family vacation this year. I contacted Rick and Karen about what I was trying to accomplish. Rick took a great deal of time to listen to the variety of things I wanted to have available so everyone in my family would enjoy themselves. Rick and Karen carefully selected the best cruise option and made sure I received the best deal available. We are all very excited for our upcoming cruise! I highly recommend Salty Breeze Cruise Planners for any of your travel needs!â€â€œI wanted to have a very special family vacation this year.

This is a special note of thanks to Karen & Enrico Saltarelli of Salty Breeze Cruise Planners for such dilligent effort in making sure that we would be safe in Boston Harbor as Hurricane Sandy was arriving to greet us for our 14 night cruise to the Carribean (yes, from Boston)! We were beyond concerned as to what wouldbe happening and Karen and Rick were constantly calling and emailing us and R.C. to check on the status of the trip. We stayed in the harbor until it was safe to leave -- we had an incredible beautiful cruise -- the people we met, the staff that served us, the programs and entertainment provided were all top notch and I enjoy the cd each day as I drive to my office of one of the groups that played in the centrum each evening. I have travelled around the world for many years as those of you who know me can attest to and I would like to say that this has been one of my most pleasant experiences thanks to the care taken for us by Karen and Rick. From the first moment I called to book this trip I knew we would be well taken care of. If you are looking for a great professional team that knows what "customer service" is all about -- you just simply have to call them to book your next cruise! 888-332-8202 Our photos will follow soon - and maybe we will meet you on our next cruise ! We continue to meet new travelmates on each one!
