Bridget Quinn

Bridgett has been in the travel industry for over 15 years, five of which were spent working onboard Holland America Line ships as Cruise Staff and Guest Relations Supervisor. She was fortunate enough to be selected to work onboard the 2003 Grand World Voyage and has visited 6 out of the 7 continents during her travels. BridgetFirst Timer;Booked Another Already
by LindyB – Jan 2016
This was my first experience with Cruise Specialists and I couldn’t be happier with their service. Bridgett was always patient with my myriad of questions and always quick to respond to emails. I’ve already booked my next cruise with her and can’t imagine working with anyone else. She is highly recommended!

Handicapped Service Excellence
by Cruisin’Carrie Nov 2015
We are repeat customers for this excellent Cruise Advisor. As always, Bridgett helped us find the necessary handicap-accessible cabin and book our cruise. Since this was an escorted cruise there was a free shore excursion provided by the travel agency.

Bridget went the extra step of checking very early on with the shore excursion provider to make sure the amenity would be accessible for my handicapped husband. When we boarded the ship all was as promised. When we arrived at the port for the free shore excursion everything was prepared for us and we could not have asked for better service from the shore excursion providers. It was a wonderful day. We definitely recommend Bridgett’s services and have already booked another cruise and are enjoying her service once again.

Sharon Whiting

For over 20 years, Sharon has been sharing her passion of travel through corporate and vacation planning! She’s an expert not only from her time spent researching every detail of custom trips, but from traveling throughout Europe and cruising the Caribbean to Alaska.SharonWProfessional Service, Lasting Friendship
by Joe and Jo Anne – Dec 2015
Sharon helped us plan a trip to the South Pacific in 2015 with another couple to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversaries. It included a ten day Paul Gauguin cruise and stays at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora and the Hilton in Moorea. Sharon made it seem easy, although we knew better. Thanks to her planning everything came off very smoothly.

We had worked with Sharon on several cruises before this and she has always been great to work with. We plan to use her on any future cruises and would highly recommend her for any one else planning a cruise. At this point she seems like an old friend. She always has good suggestions and seems able to keep things within reason pricewise, without sacrificing quality. Her pleasant demeanor compliments a professional work ethic and deep knowledge of the world of travel. Go Sharon!

Details Always Covered
by Dennis46 – Dec 2015
We have worked with Sharon on more than one occasion. We always ask for her because she can be counted on. She is extremely helpful and makes good suggestions. She works with us for all our needs. We have never worried about the detail as we know that Sharon will take care of them for us. She is a professional and represents her business proudly. We highly recommend Sharon and will use her again and again when our travel needs arise.
