Make Your Next Trip Extraordinary

Cheri Ozimac organized our first trip to Alaska and our very first ocean cruise. The ship and itinerary were perfect for us. Cheri was available to answer questions throughout the planning process and to make the trip seamless. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary Jean Tully’s office and, most especially, Cheri, for a cruise experience.

When we cruise we usually choose Seabourn for its all-inclusive small ship vibe and because it is pretty much an all-adult group onboard. Not to mention the fantastic food and drink service.

But this cruise to Alaskan ports was as much for our adult children as their teenage kids, so I relied on my go-to agent in Mary Jean Tully’s office (Cheri Ozimac — she’s a STAR!) to guide us once again. We did a similar cruise last summer onboard the Norwegian Jewel. But this year our teens wanted the go-karts, water slides, laser tag, and game-room experience, so we went with the Norwegian Bliss in the Haven category. We had a two-bedroom suite and three additional rooms with king beds and sofa sleepers.

The two-bedroom suite was quite economical in space. The second bedroom consisted of either a pull-out sofa or a drop-down bed which created a bunk bed situation. No window or natural light there. The main bedroom in the suite didn’t contain a window either and was very cramped on one side of the bed (less than a foot of moving room to get into the bed and at the foot of the bed). Honestly, I expected more from this room category.

There was a nice lounge at the front of the ship for the exclusive use of Haven guests, and a dining room also just for Haven guests. Frustratingly, the menu for each meal never changed, with no daily specials or variety in offerings. Most of our meals were good, but one night we had to wait over an hour between our placing our order and receipt of the appetizers.

The water slide venue was a dud, none of our teens repeated the experience. But the go-karts? Big hit with multi-generational races happening.

The shore excursion that drew our whole group again was the zip-line at Icy Strait (also better known as Hoonah, a First Nation community). And the teens seemed to want t-shirts from each and every port we stopped at!

In spite of not everything being perfect, we will be doing it again next summer with a different itinerary. The experience of the cousins bonding and the adults relaxing can’t be beaten!

I can trust that all details are covered and that there might be treats from them along the way

We took a Seabourn cruise departing from Dover, ending in Reykjavik, Iceland tthe second half of May 2023. We flew into Heathrow, easily found the car driver Mary Jean’s office arranged to take us into London to the Savoy Hotel. Had a wonderful overnight stay in this historic hotel and then had private transportation to Dover to the ship. Of course, being a Seabourn cruise, we were spoiled from the moment we checked in to the moment we left 11 days later. It’s really difficult to go public with my review of Mary Jean’s team because I’d rather keep them a secret in many ways. They are that good. I’ve been working with them for a few years now and I continue to give them an A+. I know I can trust that all details are covered and that there might be treats from them along the way. An example of their thoroughness from this recent cruise: We normally prefer the port side of the ship, but this time we found ourselves on starboard side. And realized that for the entire trip we were on the sweet side where all the best scenery was. Now that’s attention to detail! There’s always a welcoming amenity from Mary Jean and no detail left to chance. This is the way to travel!

Once we were aboard, we realized how Cheri had expertly chosen our cabin on Deck 10

We have been home for 5 days from our Seabourn cruise as organized by Cheri Ozimac. We had never cruised previously but once we were aboard, we realized how Cheri had expertly chosen our cabin on Deck 10 for us! Our cruise was booked in 2019 and because of COVID we did not travel until 2023. Cheri and her team stuck with us with adjustments and trip insurance changes as required. We trust Mary Jean’s team and will use them again!
