Exclusive Shore Event

“We would like to recommend Caribbean And Beyond to help you plan your travel adventures. Fran and Ann were great to work with and very responsive to any inquiries we had. They also pleasantly surprised us by proactively securing an upgraded cabin on the cruise ship, along with other little perks! They made sure all the ‘i’s’ were dotted and ‘t’s’ crossed so the logistical parts of the trip went very smoothly. We will definitely employ them again on future adventures!”
– Beth & Gary Mack

Wonderful Trip
“Yes, my trip to Europe was better than I could ever have expected. All our connections were made with the highest professionalism. Our drivers were always early and were a good source of information. Fran and Ann Cappa were wonderful to work with. They guided us along the way. Our vacation was a once in a lifetime experience to search for our family roots and cousins.”
