True story... and a perfect example of why to use Travel Advisor

Imagine it's two days after your wedding day.  You've planned that special day for several months, if not a year or more.  Everything goes off without a hitch.  You're surrounded by those you love and who love you to start your new life as Mr. & Mrs.

You planned your honeymoon with a professional travel advisor, and have been working on the details for a few months.  Passports are in order, airline tickets and 5-star all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean is confirmed and paid for.  Sunscreen and swimsuits are packed.

You have multiple flights to get to your honeymoon, and everything starts out OK.  The flight to JFK leaves the gate on time, but then sits on the runway for what feels like forever and you arrive late.  You are in main cabin, so have to wait for everyone to get off the plane before you can start your sprint to another terminal.  When you arrive at the connection gate, they've already closed the doors, and now you've missed the flight!

Panic sets in.  The crew at the airport are not super helpful, and you are getting a little frustrated.  But...you have a travel advisor!  You call her.  She calms you down a little bit and starts to make calls to find out all of the options.  She talks you through getting on stand-by for the first flight out the next day.  She helps talk you through planning to file a travel protection claim when you get home (keep your receipts!!!).  She finds a hotel and is able to extend your stay with the resort.  You get an unscheduled night in New York City and get to explore a bit.  You get a good night sleep, make it to the airport early, and are fortunate enough to get on the flight.

What you initially thought was going to be disaster and ruin your dream honeymoon turns into a couple bumps in the road along the way.  Your travel advisor not only has helped navigate the challenges, but she's reduced the stress at least a little bit.

Without the travel advisor to assist, you would have been left to figure things out on your own.  Having someone to advocate for you can make a difference.  It's worth it!!

My love of travel started at a young age.  Family road trips across the country and vacations in Hawaii is where it all began.  After starting a family, we traveled frequently to the beach, Disney, and many places near and far.  My husband and I also traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe.In early 2023 I left my corporate accounting career, which allowed me to focus on my tra...  Read More >>>

Jamaica Getaway
Jamaica Getaway

5-stars! Anne helped me find a place for a long weekend getaway with my husband. She listened to the details I was looking for and suggested The Hideaway at Royalton. We really enjoyed the stay. It was exactly what I was looking for when I set out on planning the trip, but I’ve never been to an all inclusive or Jamaica so I wouldn’t have found it without her. The property was beautiful and the view from our room was spectacular. We really enjoyed the buffet dining room. The steak there was every bit as good as the steak we had at the steakhouse.

We recently went to the UK and Anne King at Vincent Vacations was invaluable in arranging our trip. Our flights were great, the accommodations were comfortable and centrally located to all we planned to do. Our tours were exactly what we wanted. Our private transport from the airport to the hotel and the hotel back to the airport were on time and personable. We will definitely use Vincent Vacations for our next big trip.
