Patty Perry 

Patty Perry of Cruise Vacations International is an outstanding travel consultant.  She is knowledgeable and she goes the extra mile to provide exceptional service and support. 

I am a member of a women's social club.  Patty has planned a variety of trips for our group.  She always goes the extra mile for us.  I would highly recommend Patty. 

I was given the wrong info about two different questions I had about the ship and we had the wrong shore excursions booked incorrectly twice.

My wife and I recently took our 5 year old grandson, our son, and daughter-in-law to Disney World.  Patty and her team made all the arrangements and they were Fantastic!  We needed 2 rooms and wanted to be next each other on the high floors in the Contempory facing the Magic Kingdom. Disney will not assign rooms until you arrive, but Patty and her team continually called to try and obtain what we wanted.  On the day prior to our departure Cindy from Patty's team spent over 2 hours on the phone trying to get our desires filled.  When we arrived we not only had what we wanted, but as the check in person said "Who Do You Know".  Our rooms were on the 11th floor, we were next to each other, and they were the 2nd and 3rd rooms closest to the park end to watch the fireworks.We had a package for five days and four nights and to quote my grandson's two favorite comments - "This is Amazing" and "Awesome".Great Trip and Wonderful service.

Patty did her usual fantastic job in helping us plan our Athens and Paris combination business/holiday trip. Paris was the holiday segment. We prefer the small French style hotels in the St. Germain area near Pont Neuf.  This year we wanted a more upscale hotel but still central.  Patty recommended Grand Hotel du Palais Royal. Clearly a winner--still small with great staff and just the right amount of upscale amenities.  Patty knows her "stuff" and knows our taste.

We have been using Patty's travel agency for many years and have referred friends to her because she and her staff have always provided great service, delivered useful information and keeps track of developments regarding our travel plans.  After all the years, she has come to know what we would like or wouldn't like because of our past travel experiences.  I never hesitate to put friends in contact with her if they are unsure of what vacations they may want, especially when it is cruise related.  We never give it a second thought as to whom we'll be reaching out to when we plan for cruises, which has become our favorite form of vacation.

The staff was wonderful. Very friendly, helpful and caring - went out of there way to accomadate all needs! Room was lovely and service first class. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.

The St James's hotel and club was perfect. Thanks to Patty for recommending it. The package deal worked out great. Our transfer to the hotel was right where we expected him. We arrived before check in time, so we went to a nearby pub recommended by the cheery door man. It was very good. Our package included a wonderful afternoon tea, tickets to a theater production, and breakfast every morning. Everything was awesome. Our transfer to the Victoria Station for the bus to the Princess Cruise ship was right on time. The cruise was everything we hoped it would be and thanks to Patty and Cindy, we packed the right clothes for the weather. It was a great trip thanks to the extra care and attention Patty puts into making arrangements for us.

Had a great time - enjoyed having door to door service - good hotel location - liked the amenities also the planned trips and free time too.

Had fun seeing many sights, eating great food,especially enjoying the comfortable ride up and back.Well planned trip from beginning to end. Fantastic time!!

Excellent trip to NYC. Expertly planned with great attention to detail. I would recommend Patty to everyone.

I especially appreciated the bus/limo. I arrived in NY relaxed and full of energy.

Our trip was booked and went off without a hitch. Accommodations were lovely and excursions were fun. Had a great time on our cruise.

We just returned from a Greek Aisle cruise on Oceania with two extra nights in Athens. Patty Perry made all the arrangements and they made the trip so much better than I even thought it would be. We started in Istanbul where Patty set up two days of private tours of all the highlights including transportation to the ship. The private tours and transportation cost about the same as the ship transfers and tours, but we got so much more from them. Our guide was fantastic with a much greater in depth knowledge from some of the larger tour groups nearby. We could, also, spend more time in one location as the tour was just for the four of us. All our questions were answered and we had a lot of them. The cruise itself on Oceania was excellent. The rooms were great as was the food. When we arrived in Athens Patty had made arrangements at the King George Hotel with Acropolis view rooms. It was great with breakfast and 1 lunch included. The lunch was more like a dinner.

Planning our family's first visit to Disney World was overwhelming to me -- all the choices for lodging, parks, meals, transportation. Since Patty has booked many cruises for our family in the past and we've always had fantastic experiences as well as great prices, I thought I'd see if she could help with Disney. Well, she sure did! She listened to our expectations, budget, park plans, and concerns and prepared options for lodging, price, activity, meals which greatly simplified it all for me. With Patty's guidance and input, we selected the Wilderness Lodge with park hopper passes, a meal plan perfect for our family, and suggestions for activities the kids would love. The lodging was gorgeous, the convenience to the Magic Kinddom and transportation was great, the food was delicious, and our kids loved the pool. Patty took the worry out of the selection process for me and as a result, we had a fantastic vacation! We could not be happier with her service!

Just wanted to let you know that Patty had a good time in Cancun. Thanks for the recommendation. They took very good care of her there. She liked the beaches and water particularly and the servers kept up with her drink orders very nicely. The food was fabulous although she didn't like having to adhere to a strict reservation policy. Very few after-dinner lounges made for an early evening.

We had a great trip to Orlando with multiple families. Patty answered all our multiple questions and helped us change our plans more than once!

Everything planned, everything organized, totally professional service.

<p> We are very happy with the service provided by Patty and her staff at Cruise Vacations International. We have learned that we can contact her or her staff, while on a trip for assistance. We greatly enjoyed our 5 week vacation in Europe and we were offered the options to perform many of the tasks to set up our trip and /or use the services from Cruise Vacations international. It was explained to us when there were fees for services. We have gone on 4 major trips over the last 4 years and we used Patty to help us set up the trips. Patty and her staff have various experiences that help us decide on various aspects of the trip including knowledge on Europe and Hawaii and cruises. We discussed various cruise lines and on the basis of our discussions, we decided to take an AMA European River Cruise the fit in with our itinerary. We will possibly book a trip with Tauck on our next trip. </p>

Patty took care of everything we needed from the moment of first contact until the day of the trip. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to about anything regarding what you want out of your vacation. We would not hesitate to recommend her as an advisor to anyone headed across the seas!

We had a great trip on a great ship (Marina). The service was excellent and provided by an always smiling staff. The food was excellent overall; but the food at Red Ginger was just unbelievable. Embarkation and debarkation was fast, efficient, and simple. Highly recommended cruise line.

Patty did the most amazing and professional job putting together the perfect cruise for my family. The Princess cruise ship was absolutely gorgeous and the service was fit for a queen. Everything was perfect except I'm sad to be back home a away from all the pampering and beautiful views of Alaska, a truly most beautiful state. If only I could bottle up the delicious air and bring it home. I highly recommend the travel services of Patty Perry and would love to take another Princess Cruise again in the near future. I would even consider going back to Alaska and visiting other ports next time that were not on this itinerary. Thank you Princess and thank you Patty!!!!!!!!

We can't say enough about our recent Scenic Ireland Trip with Globus. From the moment we booked through Cruise Vacations, stepped off the plane in Ireland, and our return to the airport following our awesome trip, everything ran like clockwork. Our Tour Director, Paul Barton, was witty, personable and very knowledgeable. He and Jerry Finnan, our Driver, made a great team. The Itinerary and additional excursions were fun and also enhanced our knowledge of this beautiful country. Ireland was more beautiful than we could have imagined. The time flew bye - it was a vacation you didn't want to end; one which will we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Our Rocky Mountaineer trip was a wonderful experience. Every thing happened as it was supposed to (on time and on budget). Patty made the recommendations that made a good trip awesome. We totally enjoyed the trip and Patty is our planner for all our trips..

We had a wonderful time with Patty and Joe Perry as they not only planned many interesting and fun excursions but made sure there was plenty of time for relaxing and just enjoying the scenery and our travelling companions.

What an unusual river cruise experience. We learned so much about Russia. Largely due to our tour guides travelling with us every step of the way from St Petersburg to Moscow and offering presentations on Russian history. We heard stories about the Czars including Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, and Ivan the Terrible. Then we learned about the Soviet Union and the roles of Lennon and Stalin followed by the events that led to collapse of the Soviet Union and modern day Russia. Our tour guides were awesome! The stops we made on our way to Moscow also made an impression. We visited a school and a private home; very eye-opening. The ship was also more than we expected. It was larger than we had sailed on previously and nicely appointed. The staff was great and we really enjoyed the Captain all though he didn't speak English. We would highly recommend this trip to all US citizens. It offers a new perspective of Russia.

Patty recently arranged a great trip for my wife and I on the Queen Mary 2. She is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of cruising and helps us find the best deals and avoid disappointments. We have used Patty's services many times over the years and think highly of her.

I have lost track of the number of years (and cruises) we have been relying on Patty and her team for services regarding our cruise vacations. One way to underscore how we think of the services she provides is that we have referred a number of friends to her over the years and the feedback from them has always been very positive. She and her team are quick to respond and quick to find answers to the questions we may have, including those occasions when they have to contact the cruise lines to get the answers. Her recommendations are always helpful and worth consideration.

What a luxury to have Patty as part of our "Travel Team." She is expert in every way with a keen eye on every single detail. We were a very small group of travelers and she treated us as she would a huge group. We had one particular traveler who was "difficult" with non-responses to the rest of us and to Patty which made it difficult for all of us to firm up plans but Patty cheerfully kept at it to completion as if it were nothing. As this travelers roommate, I was thrilled by the outcome all due to Patty's persistence and upbeat attitude. Thank you, Patty! Can't wait to take another trip "WITH YOU!!!!"

Great planning, terrific accommodations in Lisbon and on the Queen Isabel, all inclusive a big plus, excursions well worth going on, enjoyed services on board ship. All in all met and exceeded my expectations. Thanks for "making me go"!!

This trip was exceptional. Venice is a must see. This hotel - Londra Palace - was excellent. A great location right on the Grand Canal. We had a lagoon view. We were close to all the action. The service was friendly and the people were simply beautiful! We took our two children, 18 and 15, with us on our Italian adventure. We had an adjoining room with them, which worked out great. We loved it and highly recommend both the hotel and Venice.

I had about given up on River Cruises, until the Douro River cruse. I think that this trip, so well orchestrated by Patty Perry, will go down as one of my favorite trips. I loved Portugal, the people, the wine, the historical sites, etc. Also, Patty pulled together a comfortable group of people to travel with. It was nice seeing a friendly face here and there. It was a great trip--I'm ready for the next one.

This was not the first time I used Patty's services nor will it be the last. Patty is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of travel. She provides exemplary service very often going above and beyond to ensure that you have a great trip. She and her team are simply the best!

Patty always provides outstanding, above-and-beyond service and support. Simply stated, Patty is the gold standard of travel professionals.

We had a fantastic cruise due to Patty and her staff's planning expertise. The room upgrade was just wonderful and we spent many hours on our verandah enjoying the views. This was our 13th trip with Patty's company and we will continue to rely on her to plan our future travels.

Patty is a great planner. She listens for the details of what you want in a vacation AND offers more to make your vacation perfectly relaxing. We have booked through Cruise Vacations for 13 years. All of her staff is knowledgeable, pleasant, and detail minded, as well. We highly recommend her and her staff for planning your vacations.

Working with Patty is always a pleasure. She does a terrific job with customer service. she is simply the best.

Planning with Patty went smoothly and quickly. We had a problem with our room on the ship. She help resolve the situation and made our trip even more wonderful than we thought possible.

Sometime s difficult. Mostly pleasant.

Great, she is very knowledgeable about Italy and she has a wonderful network of vendors.

Patty is always a pleasure to work with. She gets things done quickly and gives good advice on the trip I am considering. She follows up if there are issues and jumps in to help if needed.

Patty is a delight to work with. She always has a solution to the many challenges you face in planning a vacation.

Patty always is responsive and has great advice. Always finds th and xtra benefits.

All aspects of trip were superb - from pickups, reservations, deliveries, etc. Patty answered all questions with clarity and much knowledge.

Terrific. Great to work with.

Great to work with she and her staff responded to every question I had quickly.

Patty had great insight into travel modes and schedules that saved us valuable time. All hotels she advised were a perfect match and thoughtfully located convenient to our various transportation choices. She provided details down to which parking garage was the best choice and her advice was always spot on. Only quicker response times would have made our experience better.

Excellent she is very knowledgeable

Patty Perry is a great travel agent. After a long absence, friends convinced us it was time to get under the Virtuoso umbrella. We couldn't be happier with our decision to reconnect with Patty and become associated with Virtuoso.

Patty always tries to do the best job getting us the itinerary we request. She has been trying to get in touch with Silversea Cruises about our terrible experience but they have not responded to her. It has been almost a month since our return and they don't seem to care that 1/2 of our cruise was ruined.

Patty was wonderful to work with. She answered my many questions and put me at ease working with her. This trip was a special birthday surprise for my husband and Patty made sure to never call my home and only correspond with me via email. All the extra surprises during our Rocky Mountain adventure were greatly appreciated. I will definitely recommend her to any of my friends that want to go on a spectacular trip. It couldn't have been nicer!

Absolutely wonderful!!! Always went above and beyond to answer questions and help make our vacation a truly memorable experience.

Patty and her team did a great job of booking our cruise, of setting up the pre-cruise hotel and assisting with other aspects of the trip. Her recommendation to upgrade to a suite was wonderful; we had some extra space so we were able to enjoy the sitting area and invite others to relax in our room with us. Patty and her team kept in touch with us and advised us of changes to our trip which took the stress out of having to do that ourselves. We appreciated the welcome aboard gift from her and were able to enjoy it while on the cruise.

As usual working with Patty was easy and pleasant. She always makes sure all the details are handled and we are made aware of any issues that may arise. For example, she let us know that there would be a delay in boarding due to a Coast Guard inspection. While the ship made no announcement and the other passengers did not know what was the delay (even those that used a travel agent) we knew and tried to let others know the reason for the delay. We were traveling with fiends on their first cruise who were nervous, but as Patty handled their trip, also, they felt much better as they had everything in order as we waited. We continue to use Patty due to her knowledge and ability to make are trips run very smoothly.

Patty is always wonderful to work with. She knows our likes/dislikes and always over-delivers. I would recommend her without reservation.

It was great! I was able to handle it all by email, which is perfect for my schedule. The luggage tags and boarding pass were a bonus I didn’t expect, plus choc covered strawberries and onboard credit. What a great experience! We plan to use you from now on!

simple. Via email except when absolutely necessary to call.

We are mostly self-sufficient cruise planners, but once we've found a cruise, Patty takes care of all the nitty-gritty details such as booking the staterooms and making sure we are at the correct loyalty level for benefits. Jeremy Hall usually handles the payments, and he is very good too.

Excellent to work with, tons of ideas and great tips. She arranged all of our excursions and each one delivered quality, engaging tours. Patty was always available to help sort out any aspect or questions about the trip. Her depth of knowledge and her communication skills really made the difference for us and our experience. Patty was always in touch with us to make certain our plans were all taken care of. She was exceptional and I have all the confidence in her work.

Patty took on the arrangements of private tours for a group of nine. She was very patient as we worked through what we really wanted to see on our shore excursions. Always professional and helpful. We had a wonderful time and all the companies she used provided reliable guides. Smoothly delivered each time and we had no hassles with connecting with the guides or great variances in the itinerary. Much appreciate her time in helping make our trip special.

Great. She took care of everything as well as all the attendees.

It is always a joy working with Patty. She asks questions, consults, gets answers. I have never been on a trip with Patty that isn’t great.

Patty was a pleasure to work with from organizing the weekend trip to all the scheduling arrangements. She also was fun to be with and I enjoyed getting to know her better.

I've worked with Patty on several trips in recent years and have been very satisfied. She and her staff are very responsive and work diligently to resolve issues as they occur. I particularly appreciate her advice on future trip options since she has travelled to so many locations and can recommend itineraries that meet our needs and constraints

Working with Patty was ideal. She listened to me, paid close attention to details, recommended nothing but the best, and was always patient and understanding. It it wasn't for Patty, every single moving part (of which there were many), would not have meshed to make a perfect family/anniversary celebration. I will certainly use her services again in the future. Thanks, Patty, for a wonderful trip.

Incredible, amazing, she is very knowledgeable and quick

Patty is not only very knowledgeable and helpful but truly fun to work with!

Patty Perry was the most professional travel agent I have ever worked with. The whole trip was extremely organized and seamless. She responded immediately to email requests and thought of everything down to the last detail. I will definitely use Patty for our next trip.

Working with Patty was a joy. She organized a cruise for 5 couples, handling individual pre/post stays, all with different excursions and itineraries. Patty is an excellent travel advisor and is truly an expert on cruises. She helped us narrow down our choices for a cruise, knew the best cabins to book, has great relationships with all of our hotels, excursion and transport companies and the cruise lines. Patty is a very experienced traveler and an outstanding ambassador for Virtuoso. Not only was her work meticulous, she is a wonderful person and made planning the cruise a very positive experience.

Patty was the best travel agent with whom I have ever worked. She made great recommendations, organized everything, set up an absolutely perfect trip, and made it all very easy. When complications arose during the planning, she got right on top of it and fixed everything. The trip she set up for us was perfect and we could just enjoy ourselves the whole time, never worrying about anything from transportation to lodging. I would recommend her without reservation

Always a pleasure to work with Patty.

Patty and Jeremy do a good job at managing the details.

Patty was great. She was thorough in looking at all cruise options and made sure we received all possible discounts. She went out of her way to assist us in getting a first seating table for two. She promptly responded to any questions we had.

Patty was totally amazing. Every detail of our trip was planned out and it made planning on our end relatively simple. Thank you Patty and staff for making our European trip amazing.

Patty and Jeremy - were again(not our first trip thru them) on top of everything - changes we made- glitches from the cruise line - anything that came up we simply had to call to get a quick resolution

Patty works miracles - including this time a last minute change of guests on a fully nnrefundable Disney Christmas cruise. She is a pleasure to work with - creative in her suggestions, almost offering suggestions to make the trip better - - and then helping to execute her suggestions. She has a deep knowledge of the industry and brings it to bear for her clients - and she is pleasant and professional in all of her dealings. I can't wait til my next adventure!

Great and very helpful

Perfect! This trip to Florence, Italy was somewhat complicated and Patty arranged everything beautifully. She was even able to get a room at the hotel that I wanted, but was unable to book a room myself. I was also pleased to have her contact information in case of an emergency.

As always, exceptional and perfect

Patty and Jeremy were fantastic to work with. The logistics of our trip were flawless. They went the extra mile to ensure we had a great trip. Thanks!!

Patty does an excellent job planning a trip as far as travel to reach the destination and the actual trip and return home. Her return calls, her helpfulness and just knowing what is liked by repeat customers is outstanding. Great attention to details!

She was terrific; always responsive for any questions or problems and her assistant, Jeremy is fantastic. I will use them iften.

Patty planned everything for our trip including our air. She also helped us with our excursion choices. Our trip was an excellent adventure and we would definitely plan another trip with her. We have used Patty in the past and we are always happy.

Patty was wonderful, as always. She made our arrangements and then changed them for us when our plans changed. Always customer service with a smile and assistance in getting every detail right. She and her staff always come through for us and we love working with them. She's the best!

Fabulous! That woman does not miss anything! From airfare, to staterooms, to getting us all kinds of information about our trip that we hadn't even thought about. She was so patient with my many questions. She treated me like she had never heard some of the questions, and wrote elaborate answers. Sometimes she even had to answer the same questions. What a doll! I look forward to working with Patty again--the sooner the better! I would rate her A+++!

We just returned from a wonderful cruise from Rome to Venice which Patty Paerry arranged for my wife and I. We always have Patty plan our trips as she has consistently provided top notch service for us and arranged for things to go smoothly. As usual she obtained the specific type of cruise cabin we wished and got us several added benefits including prepaid gratuities, a bottle of wine, and an additional cruise credit. However, even without these we like Patty as she always knows the type of ship we like plus arranging for private tour guide that have always been excellent. She and her staff are always available and are able to answer questions and explain things that we may not be aware of at the time. In this particular case everything went smoothly as usual and our friends who traveled with us now, also, use Patty because of her knowledge and top of the line service.

Helpful Pleasant

Working with Patty is always a pleasure. She is extremely knowledgeable and provides the best ever customer service.

Great as usual. Perfect arrangements

Professional and flexible.

Set up three fabulous tours

Patty is great--responsive, kept the budget in mind, and answered various follow-up questions.

She was very professional, candid and responsive. Answered all questions and proactively gave us extremely good advice. Her demeanor was terrific and she was very enjoyable to work with. We would definitely use her services again.

The flights to and from Europe and transfer from Heathrow to Southampton were flawless. Any questions we had were quickly answered and we were confident any glitch would be handled.

Patty is very professional and always finds the right travel plans for us. Patty always provides prompt responses. It is a pleasure to work with Patty.

we had nothing but helpful and accurate support from Patty so we could make the best decision for our trip. Patty was great at refining the details of the trip for us with excursion recommendation and setting up the trip to be executed without a problem!

Patty and her assistant, Jeremy Hall were extremely helpful going over and above to handle all aspects of the trip helping with air travel, hotels, dinner reservations and tours. They were very professional and knowledgeable for all of our questions and concerns. I would recommend them highly and will seek their help again.

Excellent great recommendations. All of the tours were excellent and the drivers to and from the airport were there right on time.
