Melissa is truly the best! She helped us plan our family cruise for my sister’s wedding and she nailed it!! From giving us multiple options within our budget, to adding on extra perks we had no idea about, she didn’t overlook a single detail when it came to planning! She even called before our vacation to update our price and save us money. I’m so thankful I went with Melissa to book my vacation.

Melissa Failla is not only a travel agent, but a miracle worker. Not only did she plan a Disney cruise for us, but she helped plan and organize our Disney Fairytale Wedding as w...

ell. I am amazed at how above and beyond she went for us. She was able to book our entire family and wedding party rooms, transportation, and coordinate dinner services so we would all sit together every night. This was a big ask for a party of over 50 people. She also worked closely alongside the on board coordinator to make sure every detail of our wedding was perfect. From embarkation, to our ceremony, and the reception, she made everyone feel comfortable and confident with every step of the way. I could not be more grateful with how amazing our trip was and I have Melissa to thank for it. She made our special day so magical!
