The Best Agent -The Best Cruise Experience
Manny is awesome! She made the entire cruise planning journey stress free. She went above and beyond to ensure the cruise experience was a fun and memorable one. She was always prompt in returning our calls or sending us a text the rare times she was not available... An "A" rated professional! She answered all our questions to our satisfaction. She has a great deal of personal experience when it comes to cruising and that made a significant difference as she helped us plan. We have been on many cruises before, but this was the BEST CRUISE EXPERIENCE EVER!
I would and will not hesitate to refer my friends to her when they decide it’s time to cruise. Thanks, Manny!

Our First Cruise!
I recently embarked on an incredible cruise from Galveston to Mexico and Honduras, and it was nothing short of amazing! This was our first cruise and it doubled as a reunion for TIB, a prestigious entertainment group in the USAF. I hadn't seen my fellow members in 25 years, and this trip provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable reunion.

A special shoutout goes to our agent, Manuela Henning, who was extremely helpful with our bookings and provided invaluable advice that made our trip smooth and hassle-free. Their recommendations ensured that we made the most of our time and enjoyed all the fantastic offerings of the ship and destinations. Talk about above and beyond!

Overall, this cruise was a delightful experience filled with fun, laughter, and rekindled friendships. My family had an absolute blast, and we truly enjoyed every moment of our trip. I highly recommend a cruise on the Carnival Jubilee for anyone looking to have an incredible vacation!

It Doesn’t Get Any Better
Above and beyond! I don’t even know where to begin. From Zoom meetings, recorded Zoom meetings, phone meetings, etc, Manny met all my cruise and travel needs and answered all my questions. I can go on. She is the best and comes with my highest recommendation. I don’t want anyone else booking my future cruises.
