Caribbean Cruise Advisor
My travel specialty is creating memorable cruise vacations for families, couples and friends traveling together. I help my clients navigate the sometimes complex details of cruising and find the best cruise line and ship to fit their travel style and destinations they wish to visit.
I have been a travel agent since 2005. I live in York, PA, where I grew up. Since entering the travel industry, I have traveled extensively, including cruises to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Alaska and Canada/New England. I love cruising because it allows you to see more than one destination without the hassle of checking in and out of hotels and packing and unpacking your suitcase. In addition, your cruise fare includes your stateroom, all of your meals, some beverages, entertainment and activities. Cruising is the ultimate all-inclusive vacation.
I'm pleased to have earned several travel certifications in my career. These include the CTA (Certified Travel Associate) designation and the ACC (Accredited Cruise Counselor) certification.
What sets me apart from many other cruise agents is my ability to listen to my clients. I always start by sitting down with them and learning about their expectations for their vacation. Only after I have a good idea of their vacation dreams do I suggest a cruise ship or a travel product.
When I'm not working or cruising, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I also volunteer with local animal charities and have participated in several walks and 5Ks to support animal charities and organizations.
I would love to help you plan the cruise vacation of your dreams!

Cruising on Regal Princess!
We became clients of Amy's 5 years ago. She is always willing to help and takes as many insane questions (and I have lots) as I can email her! We are experienced cruises and know most everything, but Amy takes the time to go over everything step by step, and never makes us feel bad about going over it again! She works with are schedules and sometime stays late to accommodate us! We left a previous Travel Agent as the agent was never around and always too busy or just did not want to help us, but since being with Amy that all changed! I can drive her nuts, but she is always there for us! Smiling and telling us how great the vacation will be, she is a true gem!

BEST TRAVEL AGENT EVER!
My travel companions and myself had the unfortunate luck of being caught in an impending Hurricane whilst on our vacation and Amy went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure we made it out of Mexico before Hurricane Delta hit. She is a class act all the way, and from beginning to end was an absolute ROCK STAR in helping us get this vacation booked, and helping us get out of Mexico ahead of 150 mph winds. Book with Amy, and I promise you you will not regret it. She is a true example of someone who puts their customers first, always.

Last minute gem.
Amy did a great job planning our trip on short notice. My wife and I knew we wanted to go to the Grand canyon after helping to move out daughter and <br/>son-in-law to Texas. Amy made some recommendations and they worked out so well. She hooked us up with a scenic train ride from DelRio Texas to Maricopa Arizona. On top of thar a package that included a train ride to and from inside the national park at the Grand canyon.

Perfect Honeymoon!
Amy was the perfect agent for us. We were referred by close friends who had their honeymoon managed by her and we hoped to do the same. We had already cancelled our honeymoon multiple times due to COVID, so we really wanted to get this trip together smoothly in 2022.<br/>Not only did Amy put everything together for us, but she got the process started FAST. Within our first emails she was providing us with options, packages, and dates to match our budget. Before reaching out to her, it had taken us months to put together our old trip details - with Amy's help we basically had our honeymoon fully booked and ready to go within a few weeks. Our trip included excursions, transport to & from the airport, and lots of tricky details with flights, but Amy managed it with ease. Can't recommend her services enough - will tell our family and friends!

Cruising is Our Happy Place
I worked with Amy for over 6 years now. She has gone above and beyond for myself and my husband. Answering my same dumb questions every day, and never complaining. She goes thru travel plans step by step, as well as making me feel comfortable with flights and ground transportation. We usually cruises (but not in the last 2 years), this year on her recommendation we took an all-inclusive to Punta Cana. It was fabulous! She walked us thru everything, as international travel now can be difficult. Everything went terrific and smooth as silk (thank you Amy!!) She is there when you need her, taking time like you are her only client. I highly recommend Amy and now I think of her as a friend as well as my travel guru!!

Amy is fantastic. I can't imagine there's a better travel agent out there when it comes to planning a cruise. She knows the industry top to bottom. She's planned four cruises for us, on four different cruise lines, and all have been perfect. When it comes to cruises, "we know a guy". It's Amy!

Amy helped with all facets of our vacation from booking of the ship to getting us the most convenient air flights possible. She made sure that distilled water was at our hotel for the 2 day stay before boarding the ship and that the ship had distilled water for my cpap unit and they did. She was always giving us updates which we appreciated. Thank you Amy.

A dream vacation!
We've wanted to do a river cruise for several years, and finally decided this was our year. Amy gave us several options and helped us pick the one that was right for us. She helped us plan a pre-cruise extension to Milan, the cruise and a post cruise extension in Paris. The airlines canceled a few flights on us before we traveled and she took care of it and kept us informed, helped us with travel insurance and gave us some great recommendations for must-see destinations. This is the second trip Amy helped us with and we're already working on our next adventure!

INCREDIBLE TRIP TO INDIA!
Our trip to India was absolutely AMAZING and working with Amy made the whole thing incredible simple! Every hotel and transfer and private tour was curated with professionalism and detail and despite being two women traveling on our own, we always felt very safe! The trip Amy planned for us was well planned, well executed, and will be a treasured lifetime memory! THANK YOU AMY- you're the best, and we can't thank you enough for turning a vacation into a cherished memory.

My trip to India was planned flawlessly from start to finish. Amy made the entire process smooth, organized, and completely stress-free. Every detail of the itinerary felt personalized, thoughtful, and well-coordinated. Communication was always prompt, and any questions I had were answered quickly and clearly.
What stood out most was Amy’s attention to detail and her ability to anticipate things I wouldn’t have thought to consider.
I’m extremely impressed and grateful for the level of service Amy provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a well-planned, enjoyable, and worry-free travel experience.

Ireland & Scotland
I can't recommend Amy Williams, CTA, ACC at The Vacation Group highly enough – she transformed our hazy vision of a Celtic adventure into an absolute trip of a lifetime! Right from our first chat on her super-responsive line (717-945-5032 – she answered on the first ring and instantly made us feel like lifelong pals), Amy zeroed in on our must-haves: a perfect blend of rich history, breathtaking scenery, and total stress-free vibes for us two wanderers.
Amy's itinerary was nothing short of wizardry. We kicked off in vibrant Dublin, soaking up the literary haunts and lively pub scene, before a smooth hop to Belfast's gritty edge and Titanic echoes. The ferry across to Scotland? Effortless. Then came Edinburgh's enchanting cobblestone streets, a soul-warming whisky tasting amid the misty Highlands, and that heart-stopping glide across Loch Ness – spotting "Nessie" shadows while legends swirled around us – all executed without a single snag.
Her pro tips were gold: dodging the crowds at peak spots saved us precious hours and heaps of pounds. And the bookings? Impeccable every step – from the fairy-tale castle stay in Glasgow's historic heart to our turreted perch overlooking Edinburgh's majestic skyline, complete with roaring fires and panoramic sunsets.
We came home bursting with tales, treasures, and not a whiff of regret – just invigorated spirits and whispers of "where next?" If Ireland, Scotland, or any dream destination is calling your name, dial Amy at The Vacation Group without delay. She's more than a travel advisor; she's your kilt-clad genie, granting wishes with a wink. Five stars feel too tame – snag her magic today! ????

I can’t thank Amy enough for flawlessly organizing our trips to Greece and to the Rhine River. On both trips, we arrived a day or two in advance of our cruises. All transfers, excursions, etc. fell into place like clockwork. Amy’s communication with everyone in our party was excellent! If we had questions, individually or as a group, she promptly returned our email or called us! Her hard work from beginning to end over the past year was VERY MUCH appreciated! I would encourage everyone to contact Amy with your travel needs. Rest assured, you will be able to enjoy your trip without any stress! Again, THANK YOU, AMY!!!

Amy was great to work with. She had quality suggestions for us on where to stay and excursions to book. When we had a flight delay, she was on it right away for us rebooking train tickets so it was one less thing to worry about in the airport. The Villas we stayed in were nice and great locations. She helped make this a memorable trip for a birthday celebration.

First Time Cruisers!
For my husband’s 40th birthday we wanted to go on a trip. We had never been on a cruise before so that’s what we decided to do. We had no idea where to start, when a friend recommended talking to Amy I sent her a message right away. She was great at finding us options to fit the time frame for travel I gave her, with taking our budget into consideration as well.
She was accessible by phone or email which made it easy for us to get in contact with her when it was convenient for us.
She made sure everything we needed was covered/included and answered any questions we had, without making me feel like I was a bother, since I had no idea what I was doing!
She also provided us with information about updating my passport, as it was expired and still had my maiden name.
We loved the cruise she suggested. It was honestly the most stress free vacation I have ever planned/booked/experienced. We will most definitely be working with Amy again for future adventures/vacations!

Great trip
Great experiences and she prepared us well for the first trip we’ve taken. Amy was very thorough, patient with our newbie questions, and made herself available as we thought of new questions to ask. She was detailed in her responses at every stage and I really appreciate that. Maybe would have liked to understand the Mexico airport a little bit better- (from the perspective of a first time traveler…) we were aware of time share people but not people claiming to be workers of the Mexican government ensuring we were getting the best of our trip… spent over half an hour stuck at the airport for this. Also our return to the airport was very different than the trip to the resort. We had direct/shared. It was a nice large van labeled with Amstar and amstar shirt/nametag. On the return to the airport our transportation was 30 minutes late, and it was a large bus with a driver in a different uniform, nothing said amstar, and the bus was very full from other resort pick up’s. This was very conf

Amy was always quick to respond to emails and calls. When she herself was on vacation, Amy made sure we had a contact who knew all about our upcoming trip. We did not experience any problems before, during or after our travels.

The news you never want to hear.
On our recent cruise we received news that a family member unexpectedly passed away. I contacted Amy and in a short period of time had us booked on a flight home from our next port. She explained what we could expect getting off the ship and in the airport. Needless to say with the shock of the news and need to get back home Amy took away one of our worries. Amy kept checking up on us as we proceeded on our way home. Thank you Amy.

Indecisive planners + helpful agent = great trip!
Amy was a saint throughout the planning/booking of our trip. We had a really hard time narrowing down where we wanted to go and she was extremely patient. Amy provided a wide variety of options and never made us feel rushed to make a decision. We valued her opinions and experiences to help us narrow down what would work best for us and our budget. Amy was always friendly, willing to provide more information/options, and give us the space we needed to make our decisions. While she had every right to be frustrated with us, we never got that impression from her. <br/>Amy got all of the initial reservations made and provided us clear expectations for payment deadlines etc. We received the documents we needed to feel prepared to go on our trip as well as contact information in case anything arose. She answered our numerous questions and connected with resort staff to take care of our dinner reservations in advance which was very helpful. We had a smooth trip because of her great assistance!

Amy followed up with us to make sure it is all arranged. There was some confusion with hotel billing, Amy helped in clearing that too. Overall Amy is someone you can relay on, I would recommend her travel services all my friends

An anniversary trip we will never forget!
My husband and I have relied on her for several different trips The latest being our anniversary trip to Sedona Arizona. She greatly assisted us from the start. We had our own plans of hiking and exploring Sedona and a surrounding areas as well as touring the Grand Canyon. She planned this sunset tour for us and it was very memorable! From our air travel to our custom fit lodging, car rental, she was meticulous in every detail she communicated perfectly any updates to our itinerary and a very timely manner. Our faith and her abilities never faltered. We have and will continue to recommend her services to friends family and associates looking to book the perfect getaway!

BEST TRAVEL AGENT EVER!
Amy is the absolute best! She consistently goes out of her way to ensure her clients are satisfied, and works hard (day or night) to ensure her clients are able to get plane rides out of hurricanes (this happened to my group in Mexico!) or to ensure we got our Covid tests in time to go to Jamaica. <br/><br/>Traveling with Amy is like having taken out an extra insurance plan where you can rest easy knowing regardless of where you are in the world, you've got someone advocating on your behalf.

Amazing Trip during COVID pandemic!
Amy Stambaugh booked myself and 3 others to go to Sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica 4/8-4/12/21. She was there EVERY STEP OF THE WAY helping us with our paperwork that we needed, ensuring we were good to go with the everchanging covid requirements. Amy went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure we felt “okay” about going on our trip and that our minds were at ease that she would handle any obstacle that we encountered (which was so important because of the covid world we are living in now). Even during the trip, we reached out (after enjoying many drinks) because we were not ready to leave and wanted to extend. Amy dropped everything she was doing to help us through that process. There is no way we could have gone on this trip without Amy’s assistance and expertise.

Long Overdue Trip! So glad we booked!
We are so appreciative of Amy's expertise! This was our first international trip where we weren't traveling with others. We were overwhelmed with all of the options, which is how we ended up reaching out to Amy.<br/><br/>We let her know what our budget was, ideal destinations, type of resort, and activities were wanted to do. She narrowed things down to a few options for us to review and was so patient with our questions. She took the stress out of the booking and selection process.<br/><br/>When it came time to travel, we just had to show up and follow her tips - so easy! We had a great time at a beautiful resort. We've already told a few friends about our experience working with Amy and will definitely be reaching out for help with our next trip!

Best trip planning and trip of your life.
Amy was great to work with. She is professional, friendly, and responsive. As you can imagine planning a trip doing covid is extremely stressful and more difficult. Amy guided us through the whole process and stayed in contact with us on a weekly basis with all the rules and regulation changes. Due to all she did leading up to our trip and while on our trip, we had the trip of our lives and we owe a lot of that to Amy! Highly recommend her for all your travel needs!

We've wanted to do a river cruise for several years, and fin...ally decided this was our year. Amy gave us several options and helped us pick the one that was right for us. She helped us plan a pre-cruise extension to Milan, the cruise and a post cruise extension in Paris. The airlines canceled a few flights on us before we traveled and she took care of it and kept us informed, helped us with travel insurance and gave us some great recommendations for must-see destinations. This is the second trip Amy helped us with and we're already working on our next adventure! Read More

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.
