Started off ok but when that one plan didn’t work and asked for a different option/plan . I never got a response and was left waiting. I believe this was unprofessional

You and Me By The Sea Travel Ltd's reply
Thank you for your feedback, Gloria. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I’m sorry to hear you felt left waiting. Your original inquiry was answered, but when plans changed, your follow-up came through over a holiday weekend while my office was closed as I was spending time with my family. I understand that waiting for a response can feel frustrating, especially when planning travel.
I always strive to provide professional, thoughtful service to every client and I appreciate your acknowledgment of my punctuality, value, and professionalism in other parts of your experience. Your feedback is valuable and will help me continue improving communication expectations regarding office hours and holiday closures moving forward.
I wish you all the best with your future travels.

When I started with Christine I had no idea where I wanted to go and had a short time window to make the arrangement. Christine was beyond helpful and fast which allowed me to secure that one last minute Christmas gift.

Christine was so helpful and efficient in drafting several different options for my group for our upcoming trip, making sure to get us a great deal. She was very quick to respond to any questions and created a great itinerary for us in less than 24 hours. This definitely took away all of the stress I was feeling with planning. I can’t wait to take my birthday trip! Thanks Christine!

We cannot recommend Christine Earls enough! She planned the most incredible vacation to Beaches Turks & Caicos for me, my husband, our three children (ages 11, 10, and 3), and my parents. Planning a trip for eight people with such a wide range of ages could have been overwhelming, but Christine made the entire process effortless.She was always so kind, easy to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail was perfect. No question was ever too small, and she was always quick to respond with helpful advice and guidance. She walked us through every decision with patience and made us feel confident every step of the way.Thanks to Christine, we had the best vacation of our lives. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we were able to simply relax and enjoy making unforgettable memories with our family. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be using her again for future vacations. Thank you, Christine, for making our dream trip a reality!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your review truly means the world to me.
It was such a pleasure helping you plan this special family vacation. Coordinating a trip for three generations is no small task, but knowing that you, your husband, your children, and your parents were all able to relax, reconnect, and create unforgettable memories at Beaches Turks & Caicos is exactly why I love what I do.
Thank you for trusting me with your family's vacation. I'm so happy everything exceeded your expectations and that I could help make the planning process feel easy and stress-free from start to finish.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was an honor to be part of such a special trip, and I can't wait to help you plan your next adventure together!
Thank you again for your trust, your support, and your wonderful recommendation. It means more than you know.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have implemented a non-refundable service fee to ensure that my planning services are utilized for serious inquiries only. In the past, I have encountered instances where clients would use the information provided without booking my services, which is why I regretfully had to implement this policy..
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Asking clients questions about their vacation preferences is my way of getting a clear picture of what they would like to experience. It could be a leisurely time spent at the beach, an adventure-packed trip, exploring nature, taking tours, or delving into historical sites. As each person has their distinct way of enjoying their time away, comprehending their preferences and dislikes helps me tailor their vacation to their liking.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a proficient travel agent, you undergo rigorous testing and supplier trainings to ensure complete knowledge and expertise. Each supplier has its unique set of regulations, and you are well-versed with them to provide accurate information to your client with confidence.
