As first-time river cruisers, we had a lot of questions, and Margaret made the entire experience seamless. She was patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. If she didn’t have an answer right away, she went the extra mile to find it quickly. She even secured credits we never could have gotten on our own. Thanks to Margaret, our first river cruise was smooth, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. We will absolutely turn to her for all future travel. Highly recommend!
