Disney Destinations & River Cruise Specialist

My name is Shawn Janofski and I'm the proud husband to a Commander in our US Navy and proud father to our daughter who was born during our first duty station in Japan (2012). She is a Disney & Universal-loving theme park-fanatic, and, my official ride buddy while my wife watches from ground-level and tracks down delicious snacks.

My agency, The Vacationeer, specializes in Disney Destinations and is 1 of only 5 travel agencies nation-wide to earn Diamond-level status with The Walt Disney Travel Company. My goal as a Travel Advisor is for every client I partner with to walk into their trips with minimal surprises.

I'm also a co-host on the Where We Roam Podcast, where we talk all things travel and theme parks. I'd love for you to have a listen and subscribe.

I took the AMA Waterways 7 night Captivating Rhine cruise from Amsterdam to Basel. I feel I could have handled getting over to Europe and finding my way to the departure port on my own, but it was really great to have Shawn handle all the details of the transfers, pre and post cruise day trips, and hotel stays for me, so I didn't have to--ALL AT NO COST TO ME! It made the entire experience all the more relaxing to know if something went wrong, I had Shawn standing by-- ready to help.<br/> <br/>Nowadays, it's rare to pay for something and feel like you really got your money's worth, but I don't think I could have paid for any better service than what I experienced on my AMA cruise. For most of my career I have traveled internationally, and I have never had translator guides as good as AMA's. The cruise manager, Nicki Drinkwater, was a true professional. I have never seen anyone work so hard! There's no way he's only one person, because he seemed to be everywhere at the same time! <br/>

Shawn was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was quick with responses to questions, and made himself available as needed throughout the day. He helped us not only add a traveler 2 days before we set sail, he helped coordinate one of our party members meeting us at a port-of-call later in the trip due to some early medical conditions! The trip probably would not have happened without him.

Shawn had his work cut out for him...but boy did he rock it!!! When going on a cruise and due to crazy mother nature where you should have missed the ship, panick in the gallery and everyone on their phone...when you book with Shawn guess what?!! We sat back and relaxed while he took care of EVERYTHING for us!! Glad to say we had an amazing outcome and a wonderful trip but the stress that departure day went from crazy maniac lady to cool and calm. Shawn answered the second we landed at a different airport and was booking our flights to reach our cruise. Lastly his follow through after the trip was spot on. After emergency visit due to a bug bite, Shawn still asked questions of concern. First time using a travel agent and Shawn exceeded our expectations!! Thank you for an amazing experience and amazing vacation!!!
