Theme Park Vacations & Family Travel
Theme parks have been a favorite of mine for a really long time. I can remember visiting Disney World with my family when I was in high school, then going again with my now-husband when we were dating…and having him propose! I’ve spent countless hours at Universal Studios, marveling at the wonder of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, screaming on the Hulk coaster, or rushing down a water slide at Volcano Bay. I’ve also made the trip out west for the original theme park; Disneyland, and then quite a bit farther east for Disneyland Paris. Also, as an avid runner, I’ve done more than a few races through the parks! If theme parks are what you or your family are dreaming of, I can’t want to show you how much fun they can be for the young or the young at heart!

Our 1 & ONLY Vacation Planner
She's OUR vacation planner for Disney and ALL vacations' since our 1st trip 2 years ago. She's planned both of our trips. She is very knowledgeable & trustworthy. We communicated via email easily. She found us the best deals, to help save money. She was helpful from beginning to end. You can reach her by phone for ANY emergency while vacationing. We found her to be simply outstanding!! We would not go anywhere else for a concierge. Carrie si the best! We had no problems; not even w/flights. We like her a lot from the beginning , and continuing on, now she's like a friend. She enjoys what she does-it's NOT just a job for Carrie. Our overall rating for Carrie is 11!

Stress Free Experience!
Carrie and I began corresponding March 2021 when my sister in law invited me on her birthday trip to Punta Cana. I was a little nervous about the process considering this was my first international trip. However, Carrie laid everything out in simple terms and steps making the process stress free and easy for me. I loved the facts that no question was too small, and I receive a response in a timely manner. Very professional and easy to work with, I will be recommending Carrie as a travel agent to any of my family and friends that are considering taking a trip and I definitely will be using her services again in the near future.

London Adventure
We recently spent an incredible week in London which would not have happened without the help and support of Carrie- our amazing travel agent! From the very initial states of planning the trip, Carrie took the time to make sure she understood what we wanted and needed, and was always available to answer questions and offer advice. It can be daunting planning a trip like this on your own, which is why I would always recommend using a travel agent. Carrie goes above and beyond - she emailed us directions on how to get places using the tube, organized a surprise for my two daughters at the Harry Potter Studio Tour and took care of an issue for us while we were in London. The entire trip was a success thanks to Carrie. I cannot recommend Carrie enough - she makes traveling fun and exciting and more importantly - stress -free!

Exactly what we wanted!
We have booked three separate trips using Carrie from a Christmas Disney trip, to a Family Hawaiian Getaway, to our most recent trip, a couples anniversary retreat. She listens to what we want, makes several suggestions based on your input and her experience. So far she is 3 for 3 and we look forward to the next adventure she will help us plan!

Always the best planned trip by Carrie
Carrie always takes the time listen to us and then provide options that fit what we were looking for. Once we zero in on a destination she then provide insight into what we may expect and what excursions we maybe interested in. She has found some awesome horseback riding venues that cater to the more experienced rider. This last adventure was a challenging ride, but so enjoyable. Carrie makes sure we are happy with our plans as well as the outcomes. I really enjoy working with Carrie.

Best Beatles Fan Experience I can Imagine!
Carrie helped my dad and I plan the perfect UK vacation for the Beatles fans that we are...and made it so easy! Working with Carrie never once felt like "work". Rather, just by giving her a little sketch of an idea, she came up with the vacation of a lifetime, full of wish-fulfilling experiences! Everything was better than I could have imagined--for example, the accommodations weren't just excellent places to stay but were strategically located to make getting to and from our various activities and points of interest simple and fast. In addition, Carrie prepped us with tips and suggestions for navigating London and Liverpool. It all added up to us never once feeling stressed or anxious about traveling in an unfamiliar place. All in all, we had an awesome time and Carrie's diligence, planning, and care were all major contributing factors to that outcome!

Great winter getaway
We've worked with Carrie a couple of times now and she always exceeds our dreams for the trip. This time we wanted to go to the Caribbean. We got a late start on planning the trip, so our initial ideas were sold out. Carrie was able to suggest some options in areas we hadn't considered with all of the amenities that we wanted. And the prices were under budget. To top it off, Carrie was able to get a special romantic evening for us. We tell all our friends about Carrie because we know she would take care of them.

Sandals Jamaica Adventure
Our trip to Sandals Negril, Jamaica was amazing and this was because of the planning that our travel agent, Carrie Bryniak, provided us. Carrie had introduced my husband and I to the Sandals brand a number of years ago. She helped us with the first trip to Sandals Montego Bay in 2017 on a club level and again with our trip this month to Sandals Negril where she had suggested the butler level. She had explained that once you go have butler you will not want to go and and though it took us a day to get used to asking our butler for what we wanted, she was correct - we will never go back.

Unforgettable family trip
From start to finish Carrie has been simply superb in organising and planning our family holiday to Orlando and NYC. We had a super time and a large part of that was thanks to Carrie. She was on top of everything, constantly listening to our requirements and suggesting and organising all the big and little details for us. Her knowledge and experience is clearly extensive, especially when it comes to Disney and Universal, and this has been clear throughout our trip. Pre, during and post she has always been on hand. She has always been extremely responsive, always pro active and has a wonderful and warm style to how she operates. We would only ever use her again for big family trips for sure and will recommend her to all our friends. Thank you Carrie!

Working with Carrie made planning our honeymoon stress free. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for international travel and had the itinerary we desired. I was very impressed on how she stayed within our budget and even left more than enough for excursions, spa treatments, and shopping money. Thank you for making this an amazing experience.

Mahalo Carrie!
This was my second trip working with Carrie. I can't recommend her enough! We went to Hawaii and it was the trip of a lifetime. We gave Carrie a budget and a time frame and she gave us many options. She even kept us under budget so we would have extra to use for excursions. Carrie sent us a detailed itinerary for the entire trip. She planned all the transportation and even sent a lit of recommendations of things to do and places to eat on each island. Carrie also made sure we were eligible to travel into Hawaii and helped make the arrival process so smooth. When we checked into the hotel we were surprised with gifts (cookies, car, beach bag) from Carrie. However the BEST part, she had fresh leis delivered to the room for us! This was so special bc this was my first time visiting and the airport no longer does welcome les due to covid. I could not have planned this trip without her! You will not be disappointed, I promise! Carries goes the extra mile every time!

A Travel Advisor you can trust
I have booked 3 times with Carrie and I must say each experience has been perfection. She listened carefully to what I wanted along with my budget and I essentially had the vacation of my dreams. She makes recommendations based on the type of trip I am going on. I sincerely trust her recommendations and judgement and I know booking with her I am always in good hands. I will continue to use her for all my travel needs and recommend her to my friends as well.

NYC at Christmas!
I cannot recommend Carrie enough. Planning this entire trip was made so much easier and so much more enjoyable thanks to Carrie. You can tell she really cares about her clients and wants to give them the absolute best vacation she possibly can. It's not just booking flights or hotel with Carrie - she sends lots of information on all things she thinks will be of interest and provides so much helpful information and tips. Her tips on the disposable hand warmers helped keep this Florida family warm during a very cold NY winter! It was a wonderful trip thanks to Carrie.

Carrie Goes Above and Beyond!
Carrie has provided excellent travel services for several trips for us. However, this last trip, that was originally planned for May of 2020, she went far above and beyond what I believe any other agent would have done! There were so many ridiculous twists and turns in the planning/scheduling process, and she nearly eliminated the stress. I cannot imagine how this travel coordination would have gone without her!

Two unforgettable trips!
This is the second time my husband and I have used Carrie Bryniak and it will not be our last! Our first trip was for our honeymoon almost 3 years ago. We did not know where we wanted to go then but we knew what our budget was. Carrie sent us numerous options at various locations. We decided Mexico for that trip and she found the most perfect resort that fit exactly what we were looking for. We were also surprised with all the extra details she put into the trip. She made sure to give us the honeymoon package and even had a butler for our bungalow! She helped to book all of our excursions and even set up all of our transportation. I would never even think about these details so I am grateful for her! We received a detailed itinerary with all our activities before we left. We had a few questions while were there and Carrie always got back to us in no time. We will never forget that trip. More recently we just went to HAWAII! It was amazing! Read our next review.

Three years worth the wait!
We started working with Carrie in 2019 to book our Viking River cruise on the Danube River. Her expertise and guidance assisted us in booking our cruise with a pre-extension in Prague for July 2020. Then in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world down along with our planned cruise. Carrie! Without her, I really think we could have been lost without her. Her constant communication and updates (as much information as the travel industry could know) throughout that time reassured us and we made the decision not to cancel our trip, but to postpone until the summer of 2021...seriously, how long could this pandemic last! Well...unfortunately, Viking cruises postponed cruising out of utmost caution so our trip for 2021 was canceled. Through all the cancellations and rebookings, Carrie was incredible and so patient. She answered all of our questions, eased our worries, updated COVIDE restrictions, and so much more. She is really the best and I will recommend her to everyone!

Summer Trip to Japan
Carrie helped us plan an incredible trip to Japan. From setting us with the exact right tour company for our family, to patiently working with us as we tweaked and tweaked the itinerary. Carrie even sent travel journals to my children before our trip so they could write about their experiences. Its these special touches and going above and beyond that keeps us booking trip after trip with Carrie. Knowing I have an agent who I can trust and who wants only the best for us makes booking travel so effortless!

She booked hotels, train tickets, gave advice and booked excursions, arranged flights and shuttles, worked with hotels to get early/late check in/outs and all of it with a smile and NO pressure. Thank you Carrie!! You helped make very hard trips very easy and enjoyable. I truly can't thank you enough!!!! Can't wait to work with you again and again and again!

Carrie was truly wonderful. I had started planning this trip about 13 months before our departure date. She was with me every step of the way. She found us a fabulous hotel with great amenities. It was a trip for my granddaughter (16) and myself. I felt very safe, Carrie knew that was a concern. The tours she lined up were perfect.

Carrie made the experience painless during covid times. We originally thought we would like to go to Aruba, and Carrie provided plenty of options. However, with what we wanted for my birthday trip, we ended up deciding on Beaches Resort in Turks & Caicos. We were not disappointed and did not regret changing locations. Carrie continue to give us option for what we could do on the trip, such as spa treatments or Fast Track services at the airport (which, I highly recommend). She made sure we knew all of the traveling requirements. She provided us with lists to make it easier. Ever after we arrived at the resort, Carrie continued to take care of us with little surprises. You will not be disappointed going through her. She has gained us as lifelong travelers as long as she continues to provide her services. We have recommended her to family and friends, and we will continue to do so.

Made planning a Disney trip as easy as possible!!
Carrie was so helpful right from the beginning. She got everything I was wanting booked-including restaurants. One thing that really impressed me was her giving me her honest opinion on a questions I had. I was trying to decide whether I would really be missing out if I didn't do a particular event. I explained to her what my thoughts were and asked for her advice thinking she would probably be obligated to tell me I needed to make the extra purchase. She not only didn't do that, but she took her time and gave me her honest recommendation. To me that speaks volume about her character. She's not just going to try to "up-sale" you to purchase everything under the sun--she's going to make sure you are doing the right thing for your specific vacation needs/wants. There was a slight hiccup that happened and the Cirque show I had booked months in advance had to be changed--a month before the trip! She not only re-booked the show, but was able to get me the ex

Helped us pull off a magical Christmas!
Carrie was invaluable in helping my family and I go on a surprise Christmas getaway. Not only did she get us a fantastic deal, but she really listened to what we were hoping to accomplish on our mini-vacation and custom-tailored our trip and itinerary to match this. Her knowledge of the Orlando resort area is second to none and this was incredibly helpful to us in planning our days to maximize our times at the parks and minimize our wait times (we hardly waited at all for anything and that's saying something during Christmas week). She made excellent recommendations for dinners and even set up a minute-to-minute itinerary for us so we could hit all the critical stops in the parks. Carrie was very proactive as well in her communication style and whenever we had questions, she had answers immediately. Our family loved the vacation and we couldn't have done it without Carrie. Thank you!!!

| What can you expect on an all-inclusive expedition with HX? Your all-inclusive includes... - Breakfast, lunch and dinner, every day With a huge range of options, you can indulge in nearly anything your appetite desires. Start the day with an impressive buffet breakfast before moving on to a mouth-watering menu of a la carte later in the day. Of course, that includes house wine and beer and soft drinks. - Sauna, hot tubs and more Make some time to relax in your ship's onboard sauna and hot tubs - they really make returning from the day's adventures that much more rewarding. - Delicious coffee, tea, and soft drinks all day Choose from a variety of hot and cold drinks, from a caffeine boost in the morning to a sugar rush after lunch. Refill stations for your OceanBottle are located throughout the ship, keeping you hydrated without using any single-use plastics. - All-inclusive drinks Enjoy a glass of wine or beer at the Pool Bar before dinner. Or unwind in the evening with a cocktail in the Explorer Lounge. Whatever you're in the mood for and whenever you like, drinks are available throughout the day and evening at no additional cost (excluding premium drinks). - Gratuities included Fantastic service is standard at HX Expeditions, and they'll never add discretionary charges onto your bill. If you'd like to leave something extra, it's always appreciated. - Daily expeditions and activities Handpicked experts from a range of fields will lead you on discoveries each day, whether on shore or on board. Join the Expedition Team on hikes, community visits, and small boar trips before heading back to the ship and hearing fascinating talks in the lecture hall, as well as your briefing on the next day's schedule. Optional premium activities like kayaking are available for an extra fee, depending on the destination. - Expedition gear and water bottle, yours to take home All guests receive a polar expedition jacket, a backpack, or another piece of HX eploration kit for the area you're exploring. And as the first cruise brand to ban single use plastics, all guests receive a complimentary water bottle to refill on board and take home. - Professional photos of your trip from onboard photographer Every expedition is the trip of a lifetime, and HX has a professional onboard photographer on each ship who'll capture stunning images from your voyage. You will receive these as a beautiful digital album after you've returned home as part of your HX Expedition Logbook. - Wi-Fi at no extra cost HX Expeditions offers Starlink Wi-Fi on all of their ships. Be aware that they often sail in remote areas with limited connection and streaming isn't supported. - Full access to the HX Science Center Often described by guests as "the heart of an HX ship", the interactive science program is like nothing you'll find elsewhere. Join the onboard scientists, hear from experts, collect samples, and get involved in the citizen science projects. Spot something new with fellow birders or spend time studying what you find under the microscope. |
