Patient and Informative.
We had lots of questions about cruising as one passenger permanently uses a powered wheelchair. Savannah patiently answered all our questions, calling the travel operator several times to check out all the information we needed. When it became obvious that we couldn’t immediately get an answer to one question she secured the rooms we needed by arranging for the travel operator to put them on hold until we could have all the facts we needed.

We saw some signs outside your shop about a Christmas cruise, so we walked in and booked a Christmas cruise. It's our first time using your company, and we will see how it all goes
