Good morning Kirby,

We just wanted to let you know that our cruise on the Crystal Bach on the Moselle River in Germany was one of the best vacations we have had.  There were only 85 passengers on this very luxurious little river boat; food and wine were over the top; excursions were enjoyable and just the right amount of time (not too long or short); and we had a bon vivant captain, a convivial set of passengers, and friendly and professional staff.   With the exception of cool and overcast skies in the Netherlands, the weather in Germany was 85 degrees and sunny and the Moselle is picture book beautiful with swans in the river and steep hills full of vineyards.   Interesting fact – Gen Patton is buried at the American cemetery in Luxembourg as in his will he stated he wanted to be buried with his soldiers.  (Our one suggestion to Crystal was to make a stop at this cemetery as part of the Trier excursions.)

KLM, of course, continues to live up to its reputation as one of the best business class airlines.   We had smooth, on time flights coming and going.

Thank you, again, Kirby, for arranging this wonderful vacation for us.  And, we did sign up on the ship for a “to be determined” next cruise.

Best regards,

Miriam and David

Hi Kirby,

First—Best Wishes for a very Happy and Healthy New Year!!!!  Our New Year was absolutely wonderful aboard the Star Pride---a New Year we will always remember!   Thank you for all your work on putting together our delightful Windstar cruise.  Everything was perfect from beginning to end.  The ship is a perfect size---the staterooms are lovely and contain everything you need.  Our cabin boy, Dani, was excellent and always there for us.  Wish we could have brought him home with us!! The entire staff was very efficient and went out of their way to please everyone.  The food was exquisite and it was hard to decide what to eat as it all looked so good and the menus all sounded delicious.  We enjoyed our shore excursions.   The cocoa plantation and the Tiki Canopy Tour were both well done.  We found the canopy tour alittle more strenuous than we thought it would be, but it was fun and very exhilarating---we are so glad we did it. Bob and I were the oldest ones in the ziplining group! 

The day on the Panama Canal was extraordinary and we stayed out on the deck going through the locks all day.  What an phenomenal project!! Cruising along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica was lovely.  We had calm waters and it is a beautiful country.  We had an absolutely wonderful holiday and highly recommend Windstar Cruises.  

Thanking you for all your wonderful arrangements for us on the Windstar “Star Pride”!!

Sincerely,

Sally and Bob

Hi, Kirby.  We are back from our trip and want to thank you for all of your efforts in providing us with a spectacular vacation. It was truly stunning and the stay in Bora Bora was particularly extraordinary.  Needless to say, we enjoyed ourselves immensely and have many great memories from a wonderful trip.  We appreciate all of your efforts in tending to every detail. There was nothing we needed to worry about and every transfer was handled smoothly and efficiently. We hope to be able to use your services again in the future when we plan our next trip out of the country.

Thank you again for planning a trip we won't soon forget.

Mary
