Jeppe - Scandinavia ~ Europe
He has been taking care of us for years and has always carefully and thoughtfully worked in our best interests. A few dollars may at times be saved at other discount agencies but the SERVICE and AMENITIES we receive from Cruise Specialists FAR outweigh what is provided by others.<br/>

Phillip - Alaska ~ USA
We've booked several cruises with Rene and would never do anything else. Not only does he see to it that our cruise is always properly arranged, he'll do a little extra to make it special. A few years ago we asked him to make cruise arrangements for our entire family to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Although the ten of us were in different cities, everything was done perfectly. Our recent cruise was again, special. Thank you !<br/>

Rene has serviced me for my last 3 cruises, from beginning to end. For practically a first time (85 year young) cruiser, he managed all my questions, with kindness promptness, nothing was too little or too demanding, answered all of my questions promptly and did not put me off once! so helpful to me travelling solo and I had only cruised once before years ago! Highly recommend Rene as your top consultant! handled my transatlantic from SFO on QE2 to home; handled my panama transit from SFO and return; and my last trip to Mexico from beginning to end,....arrived home safe and sound from all trips, absolutely no "mess ups"! He has already booked my next cruise to Caribbean in six months from Ft. Lauderdale!!! returns phone calls almost immediately! and always most helpful and kind.
ReneS - Mexico
Rene is a wonderful resource for all of the many trips he has planned for us. He has a great network of people he can ask if we have questions about a specific cruise line, a ship, a port and even an excursion. And of course which cabin to have on any ship. He always responds to us right away and if for some reason he’s not available there is always somebody in his office who does.<br/>

Bay Guy - World Cruise | Other
I have been in contact with Rene ever since last year arranging for our river cruise trip to Europe. He is so wonderfully pleasant, very helpful, so respectful and definitely a very funny guy. He has made me worry free! He goes out of his way to accommodate our demands, even if it appears that they may be out of his prescribed services. All my questions and concerns were addressed and my wishes fulfilled. How terrific is that!
Rene is the best! I am a choosy client, when it comes to sales. I utterly dislike pushy sales people, which he is not. Thank God he is an ideal representative of your company. I want to thank you for having him in your employ. My wish is that everyone should be as personable as he is. When, in the future, we would plan another trip, I would like to have Rene take care of us again. You should be so proud of him.

Working with Rene was great. He provided all the information upfront to allow us to book the riverboat cruise. I must admit that I was a little apprehensive about the expense of the cruise. But he was 100% right on. The cruise was fabulous, a very memorable experience. So much so that we are considering another cruise in the near future. Once we had booked the cruise,he and his staff followed up with all the information and cruise documents in a timely manner. We now consider Cruise Specialists and Rene as our go to person for any cruises.<br/>
