“Cannot express enough how professional, how detail oriented, and what good customer service we have received from Melissa and CCTA. She has been there for us on more than one trip, always has practical information, looks for the best cruise for the money, and is very thoughtful of the clients' needs & concerns. She listens! She is responsive! She goes above and beyond! I will definitely be using her in the (hopefully near!) future, and am so grateful.”
“I have been so impressed with Melissa as she helped us create an amazing trip to Ireland and England. She was prompt and communicative, listened to our preferences, was respectful of our budget, and was so helpful every step of the way! Thank you for all of your help!”
“Melissa is amazing! She helped me and my family with a Sedona getaway last year and was so informative and knowledgeable. This year I went on a large family trip and cruise to Europe another travel agent booked who did about 10% of what Melissa did for us. Melissa helped me navigate hotel bookings pre and post cruise and also gave me great cruise and Europe tips. I learned my lesson to never use any other travel agent than Melissa! She’s actually helping us book our 2025 trip now. :)”
“Melissa was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad, she helped me out a lot. I was already planning a huge trip to Europe and she had many ideas, she was able to book some things for me and was very communicative when anything changed with the bookings. I had a couple hiccups when I was overseas and when I contacted her at midnight AZ time, she was immediately responsive and able to help. I will definitely go to Melissa next time I am planning a trip!”
“Our trip had multiple changes due to airlines. Melissa was on top of our trip the whole time, kept us up to date and we loved going to Scotland with her suggestions of hotels to stay in.”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful to work with. She found us the perfect resort and took care of all the travel arrangements. She was available to answer any questions we had, and took all the stress out of international travel. Can’t wait to Crusin Couple Travel for our next trip!”
“Melissa is AMAZING to work with! She sends reminders, updates and tips to help your trip truly be a vacation! I highly recommend her services!”
“We, at High Mark Distillery, are extremely grateful to Dawn Knoblock, with Cruisin Couple Travel Agency for booking an absolutely FABULOUS dream come true trip to Italy for us! Dawn perfectly crafted each day to reflect our personality, and our interests. We had a combo of great Italian foodie tours, Amalfi Coast swimming adventures, hidden wineries, volcano hiking, Limoncello Tastings, glass blowing, lace making, and the best Gelato places! We experienced 8 towns in 12 days. We don’t think we can travel without the “Dawn Knoblock” special touches now! Thank you for spoiling us!!”
“Dawn at CCTA handled our recent booking of an 11-day Princess cruise round trip from San Fran to 4 Alaska ports plus Victoria, BC, and we could not have been more pleased! This was my eighth cruise in 20 odd years, and for sure the smoothest yet. Despite having a couple last minute requests, I doubt we spent more than 15 minutes in the cruise terminal prior to boarding (which in my experience is almost unheard of - usually it's an hour of so!) My wife and I will always use CCTA for future cruises, and I just want to publicly thank Dawn for a great experience!”
“CCTA was exceptional from start to finish. They listened to what I wanted, gave me options and then delivered beyond expectations! Thank you for taking out all the guesswork and allowing me to fully enjoy every minute of my adventure!!”
