Cruise Planners - Terry Rife, CTC Travel Advisor

It’s easy to think it makes sense to plan and book a cruise yourself given our access to information…wrong. We have done that before and always regretted it. Our recent cruise was much different. We engaged Terry to help us book a last minute cruise to escape the cold. It was so amazing to have a true professional on our team to make the right decisions. We were ready to pull the trigger on a cruise but Terry stepped in and got us more than we expected and we saved significant money in the process.

We cannot say enough for the confidence we had working with Terry. It was great having 100% confidence about the process and our choices. Terry is fantastic and we are already exploring our next adventure. 15/10

My wife and I just returned from an 11-day trip to Thailand organized by Terry Rife with Cruise Planners. To say we had a remarkable time would be an understatement. It was probably the best vacation both my wife and I have ever been on. The whole process in working with Terry was smooth and she was extremely communicative throughout. We had no issues whatsoever on our trip, but if we had, we were confident we could reach out to Terry for assistance. We highly recommend booking with her and, if you have not yet gone, please visit Thailand. It’s a remarkably beautiful country filled with extremely gracious and welcoming people.

Terry Rife made all the difference in my recent international travels. She assisted in helping me navigate all the puzzle pieces of what was needed for smooth travels to Tonga and New Zealand. Her attention to every detail was impeccable. Her guidance on traversing so many time zones, stops and potential glitches was exactly what I needed. And as it turned out, I did indeed use the travel insurance as our plans were interrupted by Mother Nature. When this happened, it was reassuring to know she was only an email away and she quickly assisted in getting me the information I needed to plan our next move. Terry is knowledgeable, kind, friendly and very patient! For this and many more reasons, I will definitely use her again for my future travels. Having this amazing human on my side while I travel is a priceless gift. Thank you Terry, for helping me reach this little piece of paradise and seeing my daughter~

Terri was great booking my first cruise to Alaska. Because of her, my trip was amazing. She answered all my questions, no matter how silly they were. Terri really listens to what you are saying and this is what makes her amazing to work with.
I will definitely use her again for my future travel plans.

I just got back from a wonderful 12 day Mexico cruise onboard the Royal Princess. The ship, my cabin, and the crew were excellent. The whole process of planning and booking this trip was made easy and pleasant because of Terry Rife at Cruise Planners. Terry is a good listener and she really strives to understand how you like to travel. Her attention to detail and willingness to find the perfect travel experience for you is very apparent. Terry clearly has travel experience and a broad knowledge of the travel industry. She even follows price fluctuations for you and because of that I received $ 250.00 back automatically when the price of the fare went down. I would highly recommend Terry Rife at Cruise Planners for all your travel needs.

Terry, thanks so much for all of your efforts and time given to us as we planned our Viking River Cruise. You were so helpful answering all of our questions, night or day. We had a great experience on the river cruise boat from Amsterdam to Budapest, as well as some extra excursions along the way. You were also able to facilitate our bringing in friends at the last minute. We so appreciated your making that happen. We would definitely use you to organize a future trip. Thanks, Mike and Joy Day

My 1st river cruise and my 1st cruise planner. After 3 years of planning, this trip would not have happened without Terry Rife. She went above & beyond to make sure my family trip was a success. She took all my worries into her hands and made it such a joy to work with her. I am referring her to everyone one I know and she is already planning my next adventure. She made me feel like I was Number #1 in her skilled craft of trusting her, & making things happen. Thank you for your kindness.

Terry planned the most amazing 25th anniversary trip to Greece for us. We are incredibly grateful for her attention and care in learning about what we wanted for our dream trip. We can now travel with confidence knowing that every detail is cared for and that we have resources to turn to if anything goes wrong. She created a personalized experience for us that will be a lasting memory forever! Can’t wait for the next one & I’m recommending her services to all my friends. It’s a million times better than buying a vacation package online! Thank you Terry!

Terry arranged the best Alaska cruise ever for my friend and I. She has access to so many details and perks as a travel agent that I didn’t even know about from previous cruises I booked myself. Now, I will never make travel plans without her. Terry thinks of every detail and is thorough and is just as excited as you are for your trip. I didn’t pay one penny more for booking the cruise with Terry than if I booked it myself and I received a lot more such as a window table for dinner every night which was amazing! Thank you, Terry!

Terry helped me plan my bucket list #1 dream trip to a far flung, not easy to access island in the South Pacific. She was amazing! I had never used a travel agent before but I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. She answered all of my questions, got me in and out of Tonga, and always kept me updated with schedule changes and such. If you’re even slightly interested in using a travel agent.which I assume you are if you’re reading this, just do it! You will wonder why you ever didn’t! If I had written a fairy tale version of my most unreasonable expectations, it would have been more believable than the trip I had. And I couldn’t have made it happen without Terry! Thank you again Terry, it was truly life changing ️

My Second Review!

After Terry helped me with my Alaskan cruise a couple years ago, I knew I needed her help in planning my dream trip to Ireland. Terry's enthusiasm and expertise was indispensable. She simply doesn't miss a thing! Thank you, Terry!

Terry made our dream vacation a reality. She coordinated a trip to Europe for me and my husband that was amazing. She explored with us the type of experience we were looking for and made sure that our experience was incredible. Terry was professional, organized and always followed through on her commitments. I have used other travel agents in the past that were fine but the difference is that Terry went above and beyond to ensure our vacation was individualized to us and filled with lasting memories.

Terry and R & R Travel are the best! We took a trip to Cozumel Mexico and it was absolutely everything Terry represented it to be. The resort, beach, diving, fishing, and the culture lived up to all she promised. Terry took care of every detail and delivered in a professional and friendly manner. Her attention to detail is second to none! I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.
