Carrie is my HERO!!! I used JW to book a 2021 Christmas vacation. I told Carrie what we wanted and her recommendations were so much more than I could have dreamed that would be in my budget! We're going to Universal Studios Florida for a week staying at the Swanky Lowes Royal Pacific, park passes, airfare etc. With Carrie I immediately felt confident this was the travelagency for me! She was kind, patient, and knowledgeable about all types of travel options and I appreciate her personal touch on recommendations. She thoroughly searched different options for me, and kept me apprised at all times. I will update my review upon our return. If u want a personal touch, knowledgeable and responsive travelagency call Carrie! 😁

If you're looking for an honest, trustworthy & professional travel agent who will incorporate your travel dreams into a reality, than look no further! JWA Travel is truly your one-stop shop! Ms Carrie's outstanding efforts surpassed all of our initial expectations! My wife & I are first time cruisers. We were apprehensive at first, but it didn't take long for Ma Carrie gain our confidence. She did that by listening to what we wanted, what we hoped to accomplish, and incorporated all of that into an incredible itinerary, saving us money as well! We can't say enough of how impressed we are by her sincerity and desire to not only help us, but to answer any and all questions we had. Kudos to you, Ms Carrie!

I live in So. Cal. my "New" Travel Agent lives in Maryland. That's because I could not find anyone around here that gives a darn about where I'm trying to go or how I get there. Carrie even from afar has worked tirelessly and patiently with me to plan the details of our 9-Day Caribbean Cruise vacation. I have been frustrated because I am technically challenged with web sites, e-mails, attachments, texts, loading Apps, etc. etc., all along she has worked to ensure my comfort level. I will definitely be working with Carrie to plan my next vacation!

Carrie did a great job assisting me with what I was looking for with cruise options. I was impressed at how responsive she was through the process. It was stress free, and we were provided a ton of affordable options for cruising. I would use her again for any of my travel needs.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I understand that anyone could log into any cruise line and book their own cruise. However, many people can feel overwhelmed about the process - how to find the cruise, how to pick the right destination, which port to sail out of, and how to find airfare.
I am about customers finding the right fit for them, and making sure they are happy with the service that is provided for them in planning their next cruise vacation.
I can also help you find and plan an amazing all-inclusive, or trip to Universal or Disney.
All of this, for free! I work for you and take the worry out without costing you more!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Brief text/email introduction- maybe even a call though not necessary with 5-10 key questions to understand exactly what you want with your cruise vacation. Within 2-3 days of putting together options, discussing feedback, and then proceeding to the booking, you and I will be communicating the whole way through until you are at your port of call, relaxing on your cruise ship or at your amazing destination.
Could you book a cruise yourself? You you go online and book Universal too?
Sure, but, by using my services, I may know some deals that you are not aware of, and I will work with you to get those deals and make your cruise as affordable for you as possible, all the way through final payment until you are on your next vacation and enjoying the destinations.
