Linda,
With all kidding aside, keeping in mind the kidding was part of the fun. Mary and I had a terrific time on the cruise to Bermuda. We have not had a more enjoyable time on a cruise in recent memory. Beyond that, you and your daughter are extremely good to your guests. I don't ever remember being treated so well by a Travel Agent. Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed and your special attention to each of us was very refreshing.

With all the kidding and laughter going on, both of you managed to maintain a high level of professionalism that I found very refreshing. I work in a customer service type environment and found myself wishing I could present such care and concern to my "customers".

"Well done Partytime Travel" you out did yourselves and exceeded every one of my expectations!

Dear Linda,
I wanted to write to thank for you taking such care in helping to plan our European cruise on Royal Caribbean. I probably wrote you with a million questions, during our booking process, but you responded quickly to each and every inquiry. In fact, we corresponded so much during this process, I feel like I have gained a friend, more than a travel agent.

Our trip was amazing! We spent the weekend in Barcelona, prior to taking the cruise to France and Italy. Thanks for your recommendations of hotels in Barcelona. The hotel we chose (Hotel 1898) was wonderful... great service, a welcoming staff and superb amenities. The hotel has a lovely rooftop pool, bar and lounge area. It was so romantic that my boyfriend chose it as the spot to propose to me, our first night in Barcelona. It was great! I can actually say that we got engaged while gazing at the Barcelona skyline from our chic hotel.

The cruise was also wonderful. We enjoyed all of the ports but I think that Rome was one of our favorites. There was just so much history to absorb and we took it all in.

Thanks to you, we upgraded to a balcony cabin. So, in addition to the ports, we spent a lot of time enjoying the sites from there. It was our favorite way to relax and unwind after a full day of sightseeing... the balcony, a glass of wine and listening to the waves.

Thanks again for helping us to plan a trip of a lifetime- certainly one that Kevin and I will always treasure!

Warm regards,
Denise & Kevin

Linda Lettre of Party Time Travel was our wonderful travel planner for our daughter's Bahamas Wedding Cruise. We were a group of 39 people from the US and England. Our trip included hotel reservations in Orlando, Florida, a cruise on Royal Caribbean's Sovereign of the Seas and group transportation from the hotel to the pier at Port Canaveral with an airport return.

Linda worked with us at every step along the way. The cruise portion included a cocktail reception aboard the ship after a Nassau beach wedding. Linda's expertise and knowledge made every detail perfect. We would like to note that all this planning was done within a seven month period and it all worked out without any problems.

Linda is always available when questions arise and has the knowledge to solve any situation. We will continue to rely on Linda for all our travel planning and cruise vacations as she treats her clients like family. We highly recommend Linda and her company, Party Time Travel.

Dear Linda,
I just want to thank you so much for helping us book the most wonderful honeymoon ever..t he island was amazing and the resort was awesome!! the staff was friendly and the food and drinks were great.. all around a super fun trip.. 90 degrees everyday no rain, who could ask for more the only negative thing was no lobster but that's because it wasn't in season! No ones fault on that... the flight lay over wasn't a big deal going but a little annoying on the return but all in all a pleasure..

Thank you for referring us to the St. James Club. Everyone on our flight from San Juan to Antigua got married on 6/7 and they were all going to Sandal's, and I was glad we went where we did. It wasn't over booked actually seemed kind of dead but that just what we were looking for. No hunting for a lounge chair on the beach or having to deal with large crowds. it was perfect.. Lin you are great!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dear Linda,

Overall I’d rate the trip as an A-. While the ship was great, especially the Princess staff who were very helpful to us kosher folks (we gave up on the kosher frozen meals because the vendor they used provided a terrible product). So our Headwaiter and the Chef, who we pre-tipped generously went out of their way to prepare fresh fish and vegetable meals for us baked in aluminum foil. So I’d rate the cruise experience A+.

The ports we stopped in (Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway) were all primarily tee shirt and Caribbean jewelry emporiums, very touristy (B). The add on excursions we chose were very good (A).

The trip by rail to Denali after leaving the boat was endless. I’d rate the rail experience as a B, not because of distance, which is a fact that can’t be altered, but due to the nature of the rail cars. Instead of forward facing seats, passengers sit at four person tables. Doing that opposite total strangers for eight hours with your knees banging into each other is taxing. Regular seats as in a motorcoach or Amtrak would be much better.

The Princess Lodge in Denali is beautiful (A). We did not take the included nature tour in Denali Park because the Frommers/Fodors/Lonely Planet advice was to take the much longer extra Tundra Wilderness Tour, an 8 hour add on in a specially rigged school bus. While these buses are not super comfortable, the tour was fantastic A+.

The second night in the Princess Mt. McKinley was a waste. While the Lodge is beautiful A) it offered nothing that a second day in the Denali Princess wouldn’t have provided and without another long bus ride.

The Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage was beautiful (A) and Princess’ ferrying us from place to place by motorcoach was excellent. Anchorage as a city is nothing to write home about.

So all in all it was a mixed bag of excellence combined with the ordinary, not surprising for an 11 day excursion that covered so much distance.

Highlights: The ship (A+), Princess Service (A+), Cruising in Glacier Bay and College Fjord (A), Denali (A+), Princess Lodges (A), Hotel Captain Cook (A)

Lowlights: Ports (B), train to Denali (B), Anchorage (B)

That’s my detailed analysis. Overall we had a great time, good rest and saw some beautiful things on a gorgeous floating hotel.

Thank you Linda.

Would we recommend it, “yes”.

This October will be our third time cruising with Linda and Mike Lettre.

We keep coming back to them because of the special care and attention they give us. They don't drop you and become inaccessible after you've made your reservations with them. You're kept up to date on all of your travel arrangements, right up to the day of departure.

They love answering the countless and repeated questions we have. They return phone calls and respond to our emails! They're knowledgeable and up to date on required travel documents, hotel and airfare rates.

We also love the fact that they're right onboard with us on some of our sailing seeing to the smallest details. They do everything they can to ensure you have the best travel experience ever. They know everything about the ship you're on from the date of its maiden voyage to which waiter makes the best pool side drinks to which spa treatments really make you feel good. And when you arrive at your port of call, they know where the best beaches and shopping areas are! In short, you get the works!! And in between cruising, they keep in touch with you, wanting to know how you're doing and if your family's well. And they'll always let you know when a great cruise is coming up so you can take advantage of booking early.

They're wonderful and outgoing and we like being around them. They and their staff at Party Time Travel are simply, the best!

See you on the Freedom in 2007!!

My husband and I met Linda on our first cruise to Bermuda.

We were so impressed that we booked a cruise the following year with her. She is so knowledgeable about absolutely everything including the best rooms, best seating for dinner and where to go and not go on shore. When she has a group going everyone is so friendly and they go out of their way to get to know you.

I have booked many cruises with her including cruises to the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean and Bermuda. Every one of them has been perfect. My only problem is saying no to her when she emails me with all the great deals she has! I would totally recommend Linda and her staff at Party Time Travel.

We have used Party Time Travel for 9-10 years. They have always advised us very well in all areas. Linda has gone beyond the normal for us when extra help has been needed.

My name is Bill. I have taken 2 cruises using Party time travel with Linda Lettre. I wanted to mention on her website, just how satisfied I was with the trip and the manner in which I was treated. I had a splendid time. Linda is so nice and certainly does a terrific job for her clients. I felt more like a friend than a client.

She was very helpful and explained everything so that it was very easy. These were my first ventures into the realm of cruising and she made the experience wonderful.

I look forward to my cruise with her on October 14th. aboard the Freedom of the seas.

Sincerely,

Linda has consistently "gone the extra mile" to ensure an enjoyable and memorable experience. We have complete trust and confidence in her and her ability.

We unequivocally recommend Party Time Travel.

I, Angelica Santana, have been traveling with Linda for about 6 years. I became a client of Linda and Mike by a book. I was doing research for a cruise to Alaska and I bought a Cruise for Idiots book and one of the first things it had was to find travel agents who specialized in cruises. So driving on Main Street in Nanuet, NY, I noticed Linda's window which had a commercial on cruises. So you can say it was luck for me, but with Linda it might be a little different than luck. Well any way she has stuck with me. And this next cruise will be my 4th with Party Time Travel.

I just wanted to say is that she takes care of all her clients. To Linda and Mike their clients are more than clients they are friends and family. You couldn't get a better pair.

My husband and I had the wonderful experience of being on the ship “Freedom of the Seas”.

Thanks to Linda and Mike who I met for the first time, we had an amazing vacation and everything was absolutely perfect!! Our room had a balcony, the service was terrific. We had the pleasure of dining with the Captain which was a memorable experience!! I can go on forever on how much we loved the whole cruise so I will try to be brief by saying that I am going on 2 more cruises thru Party Time Travel and I recommend that everyone trust Linda and Mike who will steer them in the right direction. They make you feel like you are family; they don’t mind answering a dozen questions and always return phone calls promptly. I have booked trips thru other travel agents before and you can NOT compare the expertise that Linda and Mike have to offer.

They are truly honest and extremely caring. I look forward to my next cruise and my husband and I can not thank them enough for all the accommodations. I will follow up with some photos!
