John & Susan Novak - Celebrity CruisesSilhouette - January 2013 

 

Hi:  We had a fantastic time on the cruise.  Thank you for the room credit and champagne.  They were very much appreciated by all of us!  I did want to let you know that they didn't put a card about the credit in our room but It was on our account.  Everyone else got a card saying it was from Moore Travel.  I suppose you heard that Earl Weaver died on our cruise.  The strange thing was that I had just gone to bed (after gambling of course) around 1:30am on Saturday morning and I heard one of those announcements in the hallway.  By the time I opened the door it was over but I thought it was odd to have an announcement at 1:30am.  Maybe now I think it may have been saying there was a medical emergency.  No one else heard it.  I even thought well, maybe we will hear an abandon ship soon but I fell asleep anyway!  The ship is absolutely beautiful.  It is so elegant, trendy, rich looking etc.  The most beautiful ship we have been on.  It was easy to find your way around too.  The parents rooms were in the perfect location for them too.  They never got lost!  My father ate sooo many cookies, cakes and ice creams its a wonder he can still walk!  Food was fantastic.   Our room was perfect and we got lots of sunset pictures off the balcony.  Thank you so much for setting everything up for us 

 

Rebecca & John O. - Bora Bora 2012

 

 Annette/Moore Travel,

Thank you so much for all your assistance in planning our trip to Bora Bora for our tenth wedding anniversary!  It was truly the trip of a lifetime!  I believe Bora Bora/The Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora has to be one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth.  The clear, turquoise lagoon water is so inviting, calming, & peaceful.  We had the best snorkeling experience of our lives!  We were thrilled to not only snorkel in the reefs with gorgeous fish, vibrantly colorful clams & corals, & a moral eel, but our shallow, then deep water snorkel dives with sting rays, black tipped reef sharks & lemon sharks was beyond amazing!  We immensely enjoyed all of our excursions (the snorkeling, a scuba dive for myself, & a Land Rover, 4 x 4 off road tour of the island ), but also had equal relaxation time on our own, private deck & our magnificent overwater bungalo.  We really relaxed laying on our deck & jumping off of it to cool off or snorkel after a stingray that glided by.  Our vacation was so luxurious.  The grounds of the resort were beyond gorgeous, mixing the tropical beach & lagoons with the lush, green natural jungle foliage as well.  We can honestly say, without a doubt, this is the best, most indulgent, wonderful trip we've ever had!  It exceeded all expectations we had & it will forever be an unforgettable memory of joy.
Thank you so much, Moore Travel for making our dream vacation a reality!

Anna B - Melia Caribe Tropical Punta Cana March 2011

 

 

 

Hi John. Wow! Vince and I had a wonderful time in Punta Cana. What a beautiful and clean resort. The food, the beaches the pools and drinks were outstanding. Met lots of people who have been there 2, 3 or more times and won't even go anywhere else. The weather was perfect. Would like to go back next year if possible and bring the kids along.
Thank you for all your help.

Joyce Tedrow - Secrets SilverSands March 2011

    

Just wanted to say thank you for helping us plan our trip to Mexico.  It was the best vacation we have ever taken.  We loved it and had an awesome time! Recently spent 4 nights at Silversands in Cancun and wished we would have stayed longer.  This was our first Apple trip and it exceeded our expectations.  From the minute we arrived at the hotel until the minute we left we were treated like royalty.  The staff was very helpful and pleasant.  The hotel was beautiful and very well kept.  The food and drinks were delicious.  If there is such a thing as paradise, we were there.  Can't wait to go back!
  Thanks!

John & Sue Novak Princess Holyland Cruise

  

 

It was amazing.  The ports were unbelievable.  As a Christian you can't believe the Holy spots you see.  We did it in the right order too.  It seemed like things started out small and got more and more important.  It was a once in a lifetime trip.  You should really go someday.  It made me want to read the bible.  It makes your faith come alive.  We saw everything from where St. John the apostle wrote the book of revelations to where the Virgin Mary ascended into heaven.  Those two spots were so simple yet gave me chills.  It was awesome!  Of course we had our non religious moments too - I'll send you a couple pictures so you can get the flavor of the Queen of De Nile Party!  All in all a great time.  Egypt was truly 3rd world.  They haven't done much there since they built those pyramids!  But Wow!  It was so cool!  Seeing all those different cultures and places really makes you realize that the U.S. is the land of milk and honey

Stephanie & Vien  Wedding at Moon Palace

Our experience at Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort can be summed up in one word, PHENOMINAL!   We couldn’t have been more pleased with the service and amenities that resort had to offer. 
The resort itself is gorgeous. For an all-inclusive resort, the food was very good. I highly suggest that you take advantage of the plethora of Ala carte dinner restaurants. The highly recommend the Asian (both Bambu & Mimi No Hana), Brazilian, & Seafood restaurants. Their wine list was respectable. There is a shuttle the runs between the three sides of the resort; Moon Grand, Sunrise, & Nizuc, however a quick stroll down the beachwalk is actually faster, while soothing.

Most importantly, we are extremely grateful for all the time Moore Travel spent to make our wedding possible. Their extensive experience in the planning & coordinating of destination weddings really showed after speaking with Annette. Initially, we had minimized our options to 3 or 4 places. Based on our budget & criteria, it was Annette who helped us make our final decision to have our wedding at Moon Palace. She continuously made the effort to ensure that we had the best group rates possible. Additionally, she handled the accommodation arrangements for our guests, who also praised Annette’s patience, pleasant attitude, and professionalism. 

Planning a destination wedding, can be extremely stressful and hectic. However, Moore Travel’s extensive knowledge & experience alleviated a lot of the stress with the accommodation arrangements for us & our guests. This allowed my wife & I to focus on other aspects of planning our wedding. Additionally, Cristina & the rest of the wonderful staff at Moon Palace made our wedding a fairy tale. I highly recommend Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort for your destination wedding and Moore Travel for your planning and coordination needs. 
Cheers,
Stephanie & Vien

  

  Our Anniversary Trip with Tauck - Amalfi Coast & Rome Cruise

   

 
 
Hi Annette and John,
 
Just wanted to give you some feedback on our trip. It was fantastic!  Mark and I both said that we don't think we could top this trip. Steve and Melissa Weiler (the Tauck guides) were excellent.  They set up a tour for us to see Rome at night on our last night there since we really didn't get a chance to see it at night.
 
All the people on the trip were great and the "Yacht" Le Ponant was super.  You really do need to be in pretty good physical shape as you are going from the back of the yacht onto a zodiac as waves are bouncing you up and down.  Also,  there was a lot of steps (which my knees were very tired of climbing by the end of the week).  
 
It was absolutely wonderful to not have to worry about tipping. 
 
I don't think we ever went more than a couple of hours without being given some food.  Steve and Melissa would get some bakery goodies at different ports for us to eat on the bus.  There was no shortage of wine with lunch and dinner
 
Thanks for booking it for us.

Dreams Villamagna Resort in Riviera Nayarit

  

   

My husband, John Gibson, and I traveled to the Dreams Villamagna Resort in Riviera Nayarit last month, and we had a great, relaxing, 17th anniversary celebration.  We were upgraded to the club floor.  There was a Happy Anniversary banner on our door, hibiscus floating in a drawn bubble bath, and a chilled bottle of champagne awaiting our arrival in our suite.  The bed and pillows were some of the most comfortable we have experienced in a hotel.
 
We had room service breakfast on our balcony each morning, and sunset cocktails in our hot tub on the balcony each everning.  And, of course, the beach and warm pacific ocean and beautiful pools were beckoning to us each afternoon.
 
The food and service in Portofino and Oceana were wonderful.  The rooftop sushi bar/lounge (Gohan) had some good entertainment and was a very relaxing way to spend the later part of the evening.  We spent our last morning at the spa, and had the couples massage, which was amazing.  (We used our vouchers toward the massage, which made it a very affordable $60/30minute massage for two.)
 
We would recommend this intimate hotel to your other "baby boomer" customers from the Chicago area, who do not want to stay at a huge, monolithic hotel.  This was a modern, hip place, with a very service-oriented staff, and we would go back tomorrow if we could. 
 
Regards,
 
Rosemary O'Brien
