Absolutely horrible. Scott made it seem like he was able to help with my husband and I’s honeymoon. We went on our wedding day to meet with him because his niece said that was the only time JUST to get our time wasted. Please go with someone else. Scott is just a talker and will ghost you if you have a certain budget.

Travel and Cruise World has arranged 28 ocean cruises and 2 river cruises for us as well as many other wonderful vacations over the last 20 years. We trust them with all of our travel needs. They are like family to us and we enjoy all of the adventures they have planned over the years and especially the Hawaii cruise with Scott, Linda, Harlan and a fantastic group of travelers.
