Everything was very easy and efficient working with Cruise A Palooza. I love when I call somewhere and can get to talk to someone right away as opposed to leaving messages and waiting for a call back. They always answered the phone! Cruisa conf...

This is the second time we have used Cruise-A-Palooza, and both times have been awesome experiences! For our wedding day, the set up was super easy, with several different bus sizes to choose from. Staff was great to talk with and answered all ...
of our questions. The week of the wedding, Debbie called us to refresh us of all the important final details for our trip. On the day of the wedding, our driver was very helpful, the drive was smooth even despite a snow storm, and he got us to where we needed to go. Finally, the cost of the bus was much more affordable than competitors. We will be using Cruise-A-Palooza again in the future!

Our driver was absolutely perfect in every way. She was punctual, fun, and extremely nice! Our ceremony was outside and there really wasn’t anywhere to “hide the bride” so I (bride) sat with her on the bus while I waited for everyone else to walk down the aisle and the entire time she was talking with me, keeping me calm, joking around with me. She was fantastic in every way!
We used them for our wedding transportation. Derek was so easy to work with and I didn't need to worry about anything. We had a blast on the bus!
