Creating Extraordinary Memories...Since 1994

 

We're here to help - before, during and after your trip.
Plus with the availability of consultations in person, through email or over the phone, along with direct bookings through our website, you always have the freedom to book when, where and how you choose.

Please keep in mind that the value that a good travel consultant adds goes well beyond the price that you pay for your trip or cruise.  We share our expertise in the planning phase, we work with the resort or cruise line prior to your arrival, we suggest additional features and excursions to enhance your experience, and we're here to support you before, during, and after your trip.  Our job is to make your vacation the best it can be and to smooth out those little bumps - before they even happen.
We want to make sure that your trip is seamless and that you are treated like the VIP that you are.

Since 1994, Cricket Cruise & Travel, LLC has been planning all types of vacations for couples, families / multigenerational families, singles, friends, and groups.

It is not our business model to compete with other agents, or on price.  Our goal is to get you the best value, with the best price on your vacation, as is the goal for most agents.  We only get paid for our time, experience, and knowledge when people book with us.  We wouldn't want that to happen to us, so we won't do it to anyone else.

We've been blessed to be very busy while still operating our agency business with these ethics in place.  And we realize not all agents are matches for everyone for any number of reasons.

We appreciate all of the kind words, referrals and repeat business that have come our way, and the opportunity to serve you.
♥ We could not do it without you. ♥
