Ray Baranak
Your Cruise & Vacation Specialist

WELCOME ABOARD!
My staff and I are here to assist you with all of your vacation planning needs! Whether you're planning a dream vacation, family reunion, a fundraiser for your favorite charity or organization, a birthday surprise, or a honeymoon, we can take care of all the details for you, so all you have to worry about is what to pack!

There are people out there that feel the need to keep shopping around for the best prices, or think that if they book their cruise themselves, they'll save money. That can take up so much of your valuable time, it can be very confusing, and do you really know exactly what you're booking? Or how much you're actually paying? Are the port charges and government taxes/fees included in the rates you see, or are you going to be surprised, when they add them later, and suddenly, that incredible price you thought you were paying, is now hundreds of dollars more?

Cruise Planners offers expert advice, cruise line direct prices and no service charge.

Our clients have found that once they are with us, they will not need to shop around anymore. They have the security of knowing that we are getting them the best rates available! We will be with you from beginning to end, offering you accurate, professional information and service. We treat your vacation as if it were our own! We believe that if our clients are happy, they will keep coming back and will refer other clients to us!

There is no substitute for professional, personalized service!
