About Us
We are a "no additional fees" agency. We're commissioned agents with virtually all travel providers. Thus, we don't charge our clients any fees for researching, booking and managing their travel.
How We Got Started
I started in the late 90's after an agency told me that I was doing exactly what they did. I became an agent with them, and then opened my own home based agency. We now book travel for folks all over the country to just about anywhere. We're affiliated with a consortium of over 4000 agents, so we have tremendous buying power, and pass saving along to our valued customers (some of which have booked through us for over 15 years

"I believe that every market, regardless of size, should have and work with their local agents, who know their market better than anyone else. It works for me here in Ashland City and it should also be true for Linda in Crossville."
"Great lady, I've known her for many years!!"

What could be more rewarding than helping people enjoy their time off? By taking the stress and time needed to research vacation possibilities off their plate and giving them as much of a "door to door" leisure experience as they want, along with helping them stretch their vacation dollars as far as possible, saves them time, stress and money. When you hear back from clients that they had a marvelous time and/or they want to immediately begin planning the next trip, it really adds to the satisfaction of being an agent. As I like to say "I get to tell people where to go----------and they thank me for it!!!!!" And, since we don't charge any extra fees, they know they're getting a great deal, and without the heavy investment in time and research, had they tried to put the vacation together on their own. The results are, satisfied clients, return customers and a great pool of references.

In the travel business, which I've been in for over 20 years, the business model has moved away from brick and mortar agencies for the most part. (other than agencies concentrating on business travel) It's not been a disadvantage for me as I've conducted business with travelers around the U.S. from my home office in Tennessee. Having a big office just means higher overhead, and because we don't have that, we don't have to charge any additional fees to our clients.
They pay the same as if they did all the research, spent the hours online comparing cruises, vacations, locations and more, except that we do all of that work for them and don't charge them any extra. Many find that hard to believe till they do their first booking with us. After that, they book with us again and again, sometimes for years!!
We book a lot of cruises, and some are for those who've never cruised before. We want our clients to have a no stress, everything's covered vacation, so we will always remind them and arrange the needed transfer service from airport to pier and back, or direct them to driving directions and pier...

We book a lot of cruises, and some are for those who've never cruised before. We want our clients to have a no stress, everything's covered vacation, so we will always remind them and arrange the needed transfer service from airport to pier and back, or direct them to driving directions and pier parking, should they want to drive to one of the ports close enough to their home to easily do so. If they'll book their airfare to and from, we give them the required "arrive by" and "leave after" times. For new cruisers, we can provide two pages of suggestions and tips for things they might want to bring, and also let them know what isn't allowed onboard. (some are obvious, some, not so much). We always offer travel insurance, separate from the travel supplier, and explain why it's a very important consideration, and the most affordable "peace of Mind" there is. In short, they may not know to ask, so a good agent will make them aware of their options and things to be considered. Each client represents what may be their only vacation during a year, and we try to make it as enjoyable and stress free as we can.
As you may surmise from our company name, cruises are our top choice and have been for over 25 years. We enjoy re visiting the islands of the Caribbean and have also cruised to the Med from Florida, to Alaska and through the Panama Canal. While we enjoyed our trips to Egypt, Israel, Morocco,...

We enjoy re visiting the islands of the Caribbean and have also cruised to the Med from Florida, to Alaska and through the Panama Canal. While we enjoyed our trips to Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Spain and France, multiple warm and friendly Caribbean islands just can't be beat. (especially love Grenada, St Lucia and St. Martin/Sint Maarten) We'd be very happy to get you hooked on cruises as well. (just get in touch!!!)

Well, considering the cold and rainy weather (seemingly never ending), just about anywhere in the Southern Caribbean, to enjoy the beaches and much better weather.

My three dream destinations are: Italy, Israel, and Southern Caribbean. We're looking to visit Italy and have already visited Israel, and the Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal, and would love to visit again.

Since we do a lot of group cruises for clients, we try, at least once a year to invite the group participants, along with any friends or co workers they have that might be interested in cruising, vacationing, etc. with the help of an agency that charges no fees to our clients. That usually results in not only some new individual clients, but also some new group possibilities.
Additionally, we stay in constant touch with our clients throughout the booking and preparation for travel. Many times, when someone books a special vacation trip or cruise, they will tell friends and family, so we're a natural recommendation for them.
Since most of our business is either one on one with existing clients or those they have referred, nothing in that area will change. We do get interest from some social media posts (primarily on Facebook where we have a "Cruise Crazy Travel" page, but will be more of an online presence starting...

Since most of our business is either one on one with existing clients or those they have referred, nothing in that area will change. We do get interest from some social media posts (primarily on Facebook where we have a "Cruise Crazy Travel" page, but will be more of an online presence starting early next year, with interactive capability improved, that will hopefully drive new prospective clients to make initial contact. Once we show them that we truly have their best travel interest in mind, we can start working with them to find the perfect fit for their travel, special occasion or vacation needs.
Our philosophy is "the more we can save you, the more often you can travel, and that means that there will be more times you'll tell your friends, co-workers and family who handled your travel arrangements" It is truly a Win-Win-Win situation for you, us and those you tell who let us serve their travel needs as well.
In fact, this is how many of our group cruise and vacation package bookings start--one or two in a family start talking with us and find that others in their circle would like to go as well, so we make group arrangements for them, which sometimes include extra amenities that they'd not receive if not part of one of our groups.

I became an agent when the travel agency I was booking a Med cruise through for my wife and I told me "you're doing everything that we'd be doing as far as an agent and we wondered if you'd like to come to work with us!!" I did, and not too many months later moved on to form my own agency, which is affiliated with one of the largest host agencies in travel. (over 4,000 independent agents working together gives us tremendous buying power and direct access to cruise and travel inventories). It is a constant learning and growing experience, and providing folks with great travel opportunities is tremendously satisfying. From cruises, tours, hotels, rail journeys, international and domestic travel and just about anything regarding travel needs, I get to help my clients experience the marvelous memories that travel gives. It's been said before "life is like a book, and if you don't travel, you're only reading one page!!"
