Testimonials for Shari Marsh Travel

What a great experience.!
“Luckily, I found Shari online and reached out to her. My wife and I wanted to experience a European River Cruise and quite frankly we knew next to nothing about that type of travel. We worked with Shari explaining what we wanted to see and she planned our cruise with Avalon from Paris to Normandy. What a great experience. Shari walked us through each step (including dealing with COVID restrictions). The trip was flawlessly planned and our experience was outstanding. We enjoyed our first Avalon adventure so much we have booked another river cruise through Shari. We recommend Shari Marsh without any hesitation.”

Wow!
“We couldn’t help but notice you were prominently quoted in this morning’s N&O article concerning travel difficulties. I’m impressed that the N&O knew you were Raleigh’s premiere travel agent! I’m glad Craig and I are not in the middle of a cruise right now but feel certain you would be calming us down and figuring things out if we were.”

“Shari has booked many of our cruise vacations all over the world. She is a very detail oriented planner and always seems to find the perfect situation/experience for us. We are so thrilled with her service and abilities that we have referred her all of our friends and relatives when they are planning their cruises (and they all feel the same way as we do). We are very excited about the Asia cruise on The Quantum of The Seas she coordinated for us for July. I expect it will be an awesome an experience based on her prior track record for us. If you want to plan a cruise, I suggest you look no further and contact Shari to arrange it. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

 Shari is Awesome!!
“Shari is Fabulous! We have booked 4 cruises through her now. We did a short 3 day for quick get away, a 7 day with about 50 people, our honeymoon, and a 5 day friends cruise! We are currently in the process of booking our 5th for next year! I can’t recommend her enough!!! We love Shari!!”

She listened to what we wanted!
“We initially contacted Shari to help us figure out which cruise line would best suit our needs for a Danube river cruise in spring 2014. She asked good questions and listened to our answers, then suggested AMA Waterways would work best for us. It was a great recommendation and we had a wonderful time. Last fall we contacted her again for a trip to Hong Kong and Bali. Again, she asked good questions about what we wanted to do, where we wanted to stay, and made recommendations that were a great fit for our needs and interests! Last but not least, a week before their trip, we asked Shari if she could help our son and his new wife get travel medical insurance for their honeymoon in Europe. Even though they had not used her services in planning the trip, she was quick to help them and greatly relieved our minds.”

Shari made our cruise so easy to plan!
“I will book every cruise through Shari and have already given her card to a few of my friends. I have never been on a cruise before and she made all the arrangements for us and suggested great shore excursions. Had a fabulous time!

 Great Experience!
“Our first River cruise was a great experience and our travel agent, Shari, was a major reason. Great job with planning, helping us shape the little details to fit our needs, and guiding us through the process-start to finish”

Super Organized
“We wanted a specific itinerary and date for our first venture to the Far East. Sherri researched and organized everything, including air tickets, insurance options, and the complicated process of obtaining visas for China. Sherri was on top of each step. We could never have done it ourselves.”

Perfect!! Everything was taken care of
“Shari was a pleasure to work with. Everything was taken care of in ONE call. Then we received perfectly organized books and instructions. She made it SO EASY for us to relax and have fun.”

Shari takes care of everything!
“We booked all of our cruise vacations with Shari. She always gets us a good price and gives incredible recommendations on ships and places to go. She is great to work with and very responsive. A quick phone call or an email are all you need to make adjustments. Thank you so much and we are looking forward to our next cruise in two weeks”

Shari was amazing….
“Shari was absolutely amazing… She was very Knowledgeable about her product and made this process so seamless. There was very little we had to do.. She had dinners set up for us, gifts waiting in our room.. This was the most stress free travel experience I have had and I will definitely be using Shari for cruise vacations… Already booked cruise number 2 with her for 2017.”

 Intimate cruise!
“We wanted to get away on a smaller cruise line for our first cruise. Shari set us up on a wonderful trip through the eastern Caribbean on a motor/sailor with all the amenities. She took care of everything and anticipated our every need. We highly recommend her for your next vacation.”

Wonderful, Wonderful!
“You can tell the quality of a person not just by how much they sell but how much they service when there is not profit to be made. Shari came to our aid when we had to cancel a trip due to health reasons. She walked us through the difficult process step by step even when we made mistakes . She kept us on course and we received our full refund. We can be a bother asking foolish questions and she has never taken our concerns lightly and has treated us with respect and with great care. We will never go to another agent. Medically recovering we arranged they same trip the next year and we were so pleased how seamless the whole process was with her. We love the way she arranges a trip as if for herself and family. She is a real professional.”

Always Book With A Pro!
“Our recent cruise to the Caribbean could have been an extreme disaster if it hadn’t of been for Shari’s expertise. Shari has been on so many cruises herself that she practically knows every state room every show and every destination that we want to go to. Shari always has “local” knowledge at Ports of Call so that you can enjoy things that other people will never even know about. Our last cruise, Shari made sure that we all had trip and medical insurance for those “just in case: moments. As it turned out, our ship had to return to the Bahama’s for a medical emergency that put us 7 hours behind in our ships itinerary. Thankfully the medical reason wasn’t for someone in our family but, we experienced first hand what it would be like to have a medical emergency at sea and no insurance. Shari also warned us that we chose a week that was right smack in the middle of hurricane season and that the ships, at all costs, would not sail into a hurricane if at all possible. Our ship was already delayed and by the time the cruise line decided on what to do, a tropical storm had developed near our next destination and we were rerouted 900 miles away. Our family has used Shari every single time we have wanted to go cruising. Here knowledge, her professionalism and constant little reminders on what to pack, when to do and what to do make these trips delightful. If you have a choice in who helps with your cruie experience, look no further than Shari Marsh. She is the best!”

She was excellent. She had everything lined out for us.
“We had a great time. This was our first cruise and definitely wont be our last! Shari was very helpful in setting up the cruise for us. We had a group of 6 high school graduates (all boys) plus parents. Shari had set up late dining for us and it was perfect with the schedule we had. Highly recommend that. The little surprise in our room when we boarded was nice too!”

She took all the worry and stress out of planning our cruise.

Shari was very highly recommended by a trusted friend. We were trying to find just the right cruise to take our two kids on for their first cruise. We needed specific room arrangements and a reasonable price. Shari found us exactly what we wanted and got us a great deal as well. Her communication was outstanding. We always knew what was needed from us and when we had to have certain registration options completed. She provided us with all the documentation, luggage tags and everything else we needed to board our ship. Shari really allowed us to just relax and look forward to our cruise. Now that I know how thorough she is with the planning and preparation, I cannot wait to have her help us plan our next cruise!

Trusted Travel Agent
Shari is a friend of a friend and has planned many amazing trips for my friend. On her recommendation, we reached out to Shari with our ideas and a budget. She came back with many options and dates. She was very knowledgeable about the ideas she shared and was very honest about her recommendations. We ultimately settled on a resort that Shari had personally visited and felt certain that it was exactly what we were looking for. She was absolutely right! The resort we stayed at was perfect. 5 stars! It was so nice to be able to trust our trip to Shari. She handled everything for us and our vacation was wonderful. She communicated with us numerous times all the way up until the day before we left and then afterwards. I would not hesitate to use her services again and would recommend her to everyone I know!
