Melissa was terrific.
Client Reviews of Melissa
Melissa at Pavlus is always extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I may have. We booked the Switzerland extension before the river cruise at her recommendation and I am so glad she suggested doing it first, rather than at the end. Our Viking experience could not have been better! They really have it together in every way! Hope to book another through Pavlus!
I have worked with Melissa for years. She is professional and a pleasure to work with. She is responsive to emails and phone calls and represents Pavlus very well.
We will continue to use Pavlus for future cruises (about 2 a year--we are retired) and appreciate the good work Melissa Pool does for us in setting up the cruise package to our liking. We try to promote Pavlus to other people, but most of them already have their preferred travel agents.
Melissa did an outstanding job helping up navigate all the tasks required to book the trip.
Our recent travel experience with Viking was exceptionally good, from planning through disembarking the ship, largely a result of the great assistance and guidance provided by the Pavlus team. Melissa was a great resource, as well as your Guest Relations team, especially Ryan, who provided valuable information and timely responses to my various questions. Thank you so much, we will definitely contact Melissa when we're ready to book our next trip!
Best people and service!
The service is always great and you deal with a large selection of true companies
Melissa has taken care of our travel bookings for years and has always been wonderful. Your customer service team has been awesome, especially Anastasia. I appreciate the rebates we get thru Pavlus.
You're our go to for all of our travel needs. Melissa has been our Travel Advisor for many years now and we love her!!!
This is Viking #8 for us and Melissa has helped us with all of them AND all of them have been wonderful!! Viking does a lot to help with this, but the Pavlus crew has never let us down and has been there to answer and iron out any problems that we might encounter. Thanks to ALL of you!! PS on this last cruise the Air Group with Kimberly helped us set up a very smooth travel schedule!!!
We have booked many vacations through Pavlus Travel. We have brought 3 new people with us through Pavlus. Pavlus has great service and price. We will continue to use your service and recommend you to new people.
Melissa always does a great job for us. Also, the back-office folks kept us informed of changes along the way.
Just keep doing what you're doing.
Kensington Drivers and guides were all excellent!
Melissa is great. She is extremely knowledgeable and responsive.
trip was great. Melissa was very helpful prior to trip. No issues with booking. thanks
We have 2 more trips set up with Melissa! Everything was excellent and the flowers were beautiful and lasted the whole trip -11 days. Thank you!
Melissa was wonderful helping us chose our Viking cruise! We found her to be responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. The Viking cruise was wonderful, our friends enjoyed their first Viking cruise and want to cruise again.
Melissa is our go to travel agent. When she is not available other staff jump in. Keep up the great service!
Melissa has always been extremely responsive to us. We received $750 back from Pavlus for this trip. We had forgotten about the rebate so it was a big surprise! Paid for our airfare!
Melissa is fabulous and very knowledgeable. She responds quickly to all our questions. Loved the Distinctive Voyage Amenity. Great Program
Pavlus was very helpful in scheduling our Alaskan cruise. The paperwork arrived in a timely fashion and was easy to understand. Pavlus was extremely helpful in arranging new flights home when Air Canada went on strike. Our new flight accommodations were made in a very timely manner. Our trip home was seamless!
I definitely will continue to contact Melissa, my excellent Pavlus Travel Agent, for any & all my travel plans. She, with the support of all other travel services (like booking my airline tickets) has made all traveling experiences exceptional. I have used Pavlus Travel since my first group tour in 2005. I appreciate that Melissa always finds the best rates /discounts and also secures the reservations I want & pairs them with another party’s trip that I may be trying to join. No matter what my needs are, she is able to make it work & for a competitive price & very convenient.
Seamless from start to finish. Thank you Melissa and Pavlus.
Very positive experience with Pavlus - Melissa has been very responsive and professional - Many thanks
Melissa is GREAT!! I've never used a travel agent before but she certainly has made it easy to book travel and give good advice on where/when to travel. I just wish that more people would aske me about "travel agents"!!! (and I would easily give them her name)
We enjoy working with Melissa and your team. We booked two more cruises while onboard and immediately notified Melissa with the booking numbers. Got your materials with your additional savings while still onboard. Told other guests to link their bookings with Melissa.
Everything was great - start to finish.
Working with Melissa was a delight. She was professional, efficient, courteous and responded to our requests in a very timely manner. Every other staff member we spoke with was equally as professional.
Great customer service!! Dawn worked with Viator to customize our food tour in Crete and it was awesome. Air department super helpful. Needed to find new return flights after our was cancelled and they were so incredibly responsive and helpful.
The Pavlus team, and particularly Melissa, are fantastic. Keep doing what you are doing.
Pavlus was on top of all our required to do dates and reminded us and prepared us in a timely and efficient manner.
Very happy with Melissa and Guest Services. Is there an. emergency contact number outside of normal business hours?
Melissa and the Pavlus team have provided exceptional service and support.
Always responsive. Thank you.
I've been using Pavlus for several years and have had good service from the different agents. I have recommended Pavlus to others. I took the Viking survey when I got home but forgot to mention that I was impressed with their service when dropping us off at the Munich airport. They did not just drop us off--an agent took us inside and made sure we got to where we needed to be! That was much appreciated!
All good. Very responsive staff.
Everything went smoothly with Melissa and the team as always.
Ashley in Air customer service was terrific ?
Looking forward to planning our next vacation.
Keep doing what you're doing!
Melissa always gets back to me quickly and makes what I want to happen, happen.
Melissa did a great job!
The flowers were gorgeous. The wine was great. We gave the fruit to our cabin attendant since we could have all the fruit we wanted at meals. Thank you
Your firm is very supportive to your customers. Melissa is a great go to POC!! Thank you.
Pavlus always communicates via email when NCL sends information. Usually, it is a duplicate of NCL's emails. It's not an issue, just letting customer service know.
Melissa Pool is the best but everyone we have worked with is also excellent.
Very professional people
It was a pleasure working with Melissa on this G Adventure vacation. We were a bit nervous about the trip since G Adventures would not answer our questions through direct communication. We had to go through Melissa to handle all our questions. She did this efficiently, but wish G Adventures would answer questions directly. It was all just fine in the end. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend Pavlus and G Adventures.
Continued excellent service by Melissa Pool and the person who took my payment information for this and a future cruise.
We always enjoy working with Melissa. She is efficient, friendly and does a great job.
Melissa our contact at Pavlus has always been very responsive and helpful. Your discounts are better or match other travel plans - I have checked several times with other arrangements.
Excellent in every aspect! One suggestion-most of the Pavlus emails show pretty much the same pricing as oner would find online (without the Pavlus rebate, off course). If you come across crazy, out of the ordinary pricing especially on a last minute cruise, we would definitely consider it. Perhaps a separate section showing "crazy" cruise fares. We still have bucket list places we want to go but we are just as ready to go away at a moment's notice if the #'s are right.
We will always return to Pavlus because of Melissa!!!!
Silversea was good, but Regent and Seabourn are better
Wonderful to be back on Crystal. Truly better than ever. We have tried Regent, Silver Sea, and Seaborne and they can’t compete with Crystal.

I like smaller ships and less children! This ship was old and tired and we missed 2 ports and had a large norovirus breakout. Never again with Princess.
Melissa Pool has been great helping us with our travel plans!
My first and last NCL cruise. I much prefer Princess for many reasons. If you want to know why, please have someone call me
Always happy with Pavlus travel. This Celebrity cruise and land tour(Galapagos and Machu Picu) was exceptional.
I have enjoyed working with Melissa who has helped us have wonderful trips over the years. I have recommended her to numerous friends and family.
Pavlus is the best. Seabourne is a little too "expedition" even when that is not needed.

Pavlus’ additional on board credit gave us the opportunity to experience two additional excursions and pay for gratuities. Thank you!
Always great!!!! No issues.

Very. relaxing Ohio River cruise just didn’t realize there were going to be so many people w/mobility issues. The staff was wonderful w/the mobility issue people though and If and when I get to that stage I would definitely book w/American Cruise Lines. I felt like I was on a moving Retirement Home. I thought the guy who gave the history lectures could have been better. He talked very fast and got tangled up in his own words quite a bit and I wished the content had been more about the people of the time and less about battles. I have been on several trips (w/ a competitor) and a least one of the history talks was given by a person in period costume talking about their life in the time period of their costume. Totally in character to the time period of what they were wearing.
Melissa is the best!!!!! She is the number one reason I use Pavlus.
We enjoyed the Great Lakes ports. We were pleasantly surprised with Pearl Seas. We knew nothing about them before cruising. We had excellent service, mostly very good food and good entertainment. It is an older ship, but well kept. The port tours were reasonably priced and well organized.
Viking River Cruises was everything and more than expected. Life on ship was great!! We enjoyed it all and came home 11 pounds heavier!!
Mellisa did a great job, very responsive and kept us abreast of any changes!

Some communication issues with itinerary and documentation
We were traveling with another couple (family) and specifically booked it that way. We realized on the day of departure that our return trips were different and separate. Very disappointing.

The cruise itself was wonderful, both the land and sea portions. The only suggestion I have for Uncruise would be to add some time to the land portion of the trip so that we didn't spend nearly 2 days on our own in Juneau. We were fortunate to have friends in town to visit with, but others might be more at loose ends. Even recommendations from Uncruise or Pavlus for short independent local tours would have been nice. I do have to say that the information and service provided by Pavlus was a bit lacking. Compared to other agencies I've worked with, communication after the sale was scant and difficult. I had to ask repeatedly for details about arrival and schedules in order to make my necessary flight and accommodation arrangements. For example, I let the Pavlus agent know that we would be arriving in Anchorage a day (actually just a part of a day) early because of long travel times from home. I was not told until I asked several times months later that we were to spend the first night of the land portion of the Uncruise in a hotel and leave on the train the second day. Because I was not aware of this schedule, I booked our own B&B and then an Uber to the hotel. I have done such early arrivals on other trips and the planner has usually been more helpful in such arrangements. On the flip side, the Pavlus agents asked me repeatedly for my flight itinerary, which never changed and that I provided each time. This kind of undermined my confidence in transfer arrangements. Finally, I did appreciate the last-minute "rebate" check. Although it was my $$ to begin with, it certainly worked as a psychological boost just before the trip.
Great trip on a great new ship. Melissa was very helpful every step of the way. Thanks and see you next trip.
Melissa Pool has looked after our annual international travel plans for years. She is professional and personable; a credit to your agency. Appreciate the loyalty credits we receive towards our tours. It meant the world to us that during Covid our planned trip was fully refunded. This gesture has given us confidence in Pavlus’s and has ensured us as loyal customers.
You guys are great. Service, rewards, and pricing are all wonderful. Highly recommend.

6th Uniworld cruise, almost all arranged through Melissa Pool at Pavlus. Have introduced a good number of folks to Pavlus and Uniworld and have benefited from the Pavlus Referral payment program. One question: How far in advance does Pavlus know if a Uniworld Cruise will waive the single supplement? As Melissa now knows, we have a crew of church singles who like being a part of our group trip experience and are influenced by the single supplement cost factor. Thank you (we are big Pavlus boosters, especially with your cash back incentive with Uniworld, Ted Lutz
GREAT vacation! Not sure when I can go again but will certainly do another Uniworld
Melissa always handles everything in a very timely and professional manner. It makes everything so easy knowing that everything is in order and nothing is left to chance.
Been a client of Pavlus for several years and appreciate the good service from Melissa Pool (and the rebate checks). The Oceania vacation was mostly good, but there were a few issues on board which I will take up with Oceania. Almost all of our Pavlus business is with Oceania, as we book our own airline and hotels online.
Extremely satisfied with Melissa. Have been working with her for years and never been let down.

Melissa has been great with all our bookings. She is an asset to.Pavlus and we appreciate the bonus to spend on the trips.
Melissa always does a great job for us. And I watch for changes in my fares that improve my position and she responds every time. Also finds mistakes I make. She is a great employee. So does Mike Duran when there is an issue that Guest Relations has to work on. I enjoy working with both of them.
Melissa is always a joy to work with! Pavlus is a great agency for those who know what trip they want to take and want to get the discounts available. Pavlus is not the best agency for those who are looking for a full service agency that gets more involved with vacation creation, planning and assistance.

Melissa and Pavlus are great. We have an issue with Silversea which may require intervention by Pavlus to salvage a 71 day cruise scheduled for January 2025.

Pavlus is the best travel agency I have ever used. They consistantly exceed expectations.
Outstanding service by Melissa Pool answered all our questions and helped resolved any issues with the booking. Excellent agent if all your agents are like her you have a great outfit. Hand out her card to anyone who is thinking of cruise. I cannot recommend her enough alway available to help with problems and find solutions always make the trip seem better.
Melissa Pool is great as an agent..best I have ever used...
This was the first time I’ve used Pavlus. I did so because my travel partner is a regular client. I appreciate all the was done, and it was done well. However, I would have liked an agency that took care of all arrangements on the ground and air.

Good trip and Melissa is always helpful
Globus tour was great and Melissa is the best!!
Great trip with Globus and Melissa is the best!!!
The service team is very helpful. The prices are an added benefit in dealing with your group.
Melissa has been wonderful to work with. She is always very helpful, professional and friendly. I really enjoy working with Melissa on all of our travel plans.
Always excellent
Responsive to my requests. Helpful information provided.
All was perfect!!! Thank you!
Melissa does a great job of communicating and being responsive.
Melissa did her usual excellent work for us. She always follows through for us and we had everything we needed on this trip. Been using Pavlus for several years now and will continue.
The vacation was lovely. Virgin Voyages was a definite success. I have taken 18 cruises and this was a Top 3. Food and service were fabulous!
well organized. All information given in a timely manner. Melissa is great.
Melissa is terrific. Always super responsive and helpful. Thanks Melissa!
Melssia has always been very responsive and helpful.
Great trip and great service from Pavlus.
Melissa was very helpful in booking this reservation for us. We have used Pavlus several times for our Viking cruises and they have always delivered excellent service. I recommend you to my friends for future reservations.
Melissa had always been very responsive , working hard to investigate & smooth out all are particular travel needs & schedule. She is a delight to work with and have successfully referred friends to her. If she has not previously worked with a tour group ( as with our recent Perillo Italy tour and our Spring Uncruise tour in Alaska, she digs right in and gets the booking done, finding answered to all our many questions. We continue to be loyal Pavlus & Melissa fans.
We always travel through Pavlus, love the rebates we receive. This trip we were lucky that Viking provided our air, because when one of our flights was canceled we went on an excursion and Viking fixed the problem.
At first I thought it was a bit expensive, but once we received all our paperwork...the discounts made the expense very doable. We were so excited for our trip and we were not disappointed. From the rooms, to the meals, to the tours, everything was top notched. It was the best experience we ever had. The staff was by far the most observant and respectful, funny and caring. We will definitely be doing another Viking River Cruise in the future.
Melissa did a great job getting us information about our trip and helping to resolve any issues that arose. Ashley (air concierge) also was instrumental in getting issues with our flights resolved. Will definitely reach out to Melissa when we are ready to book our next trip or cruise!
great trip and support from Melissa and air travel support
Melissa always returned my calls promptly. She answered all my questions succinctly. She arranged my airfare saving a great amount over what I could have arranged myself.
Great cruise and kudos to Melissa. She kept us informed.
Very satisfied with support and communication. Also rebate and cruise credits a real bonus.
Melissa is the best!!!!!!!
Staff very knowable and professional All problems dealt with quickly and were resolved
Melissa is terrific. She is very knowledgeable and a great communicator. Always available for quick reply to any questions we had. This was out first time using Pavlus and we have already booked 2 more future cruises thru Melissa. Your cah back program is the clincher
Melissa was very helpful, answered all questions and contacted us just prior to departure to wish us a good trip.
Melissa is always helpful in spite of being incredibly busy!
Melissa is GREAT and everything worked out well
Melissa is the shining agent who helps and guides my husband and me through our travel choices. She is a very dedicated woman to her work and her clients. If there is a problem, Melissa will handle it or tell you who to contact. We recently returned from a back to back cruise to The Baltics and Norway. We had a wonderful time. Before the trip began there was a problem in getting the economy plus flights we purchased. Chris in the Guest Relations department came to our rescue securing a hotel stay including dinner, transportation from the ship to the hotel and transportation the next morning to the airport. This gained our loyalty to Pavlus Travel We have another trip booked using our excellent travel agent Melissa with Pavlus Travel
Melissa was very responsive and made the coordination with Silversea seamless. We've already booked our next cruise. Many thanks
Melissa was great as this vacation was postponed three years and she remained responsive to questions and concerns. I would recommend to others.
Melissa is always very knowledgeable and very helpful. I have used Pavlus in the past and will continue.
Melissa does such a great job of keeping us up to date on any cruise we have planned. During COVID her flexibility was exceptional. Now that we are back in the travel mode, we can rest easy with Melissa assisted by the customer support staff ensuring we meet our deadlines with the cruise lines, and get the best deal. Thank you Pavlus Travel
Melissa made the planning very easy. She always answers our questions as they come up not to mention the extra perks she gets for us. We had not been in the center of our country so we learned a lot and was blown away by the extent of the Mississippi River. Definitely a worthwhile trip.
Melissa is fantastic. Always very attentive to our travel needs. She is what makes Pavlus so great.
Melissa is wonderful. She helped us deal with many issues with Celebrity and using FCC. We have worked with her often and always appreciate her willingness to go beyond to help.
Great tour director and interesting tour.
Melissa was great! Trip was fantastic and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Now to talk to Melissa about trips next year!
Melissa Pool was an amazing travel agent. She answered all our inquiries immediately. She was helpful and went above and beyond what was expected. I have already recommended Pavlus and Melissa to friends considering cruising.
Great trip. Silversea is fabulous. Melissa is also fabulous!
Melissa always does a great job as does Globus. It was everything I expected.
Our small group tour of Americas Greatest Parks with Globus was fantastic. Melissa as always did a fantastic job for us.
Melissa was tremendously helpful in all aspects of our trip
Melissa, Made the process seamless and simple. She is very easy to work with and very knowledgeable.
The Viking River cruise was awesome , we have booked our last 2 river cruises with Melissa , she is excellent , very helpful and quick to answer questions
Our trip went well! Will be contacting Melissa about some future travel we hope to pursue
Great service, easy to work with
Excellent vacation with Tauck tours. Melissa did a great job.
Great trip. Pavlus and Melissa did a wonderful job.
Melissa was outstanding. Tour was excellent, at a great price.
Melissa helped us with all of our travel arrangements with Viking. An issue came up with airline flights and she took care of it immediately. We will definitely use Melissa at Pavlus again. We were put on to Pavlus by referral. We have referred a lot of our friends toward Pavlus. Our trip was unbelievable!
Pavlus Travel was very professional and delivered in all areas.
Cruise aboard the Regent Seven Sea SS Spender was excellent. Beautiful ship, great friendly staff that cater to your requests and needs, excellant food, and top shelf beverages (wines and liquors). Side trips have to be chosen with care and read full descriptions to get full value. Pavlus staff very professional and helpful.
Melissa is awesome!!!
Melissa does a great job. Never had a problem, all goes smoothly.
We completed a bucket list trip to the 7th continent. There were a few snags on the land portion caused by silverseas but once on board things flowed smoothly Have 2 more trips already booked through pavlus
Everything promptly handled according to plan
Had a wonderful time. Thank you
Excellent tour and excellent service.
Melissia was very response and helpful. Will continue booking trips with her.
We always enjoy working with Melissa. She always works hard for us, even though we know she is very busy.
Need for ground transport in Singapore arose mid-cruise. Sam Moya handled all arrangements expeditiously and efficiently. Blacklane Transportation exceeded our expectations.
Melissa is great, knowledgeable and responsive.
Melissa was most helpful and took over from Mindy, who had originally booked our trip.
Great Trip. Already booked my next trip.
I was on a Greece and Turkey tour and cruise. After 3 cancellations due to Covid, we finally left for our trip! Perfect weather and calm seas helped make the trip very enjoyable. I have liked working with Melissa, she is friendly and is quick to answer any questions. I found Pavlus online and have used them for several trips.
Great time
Good trip Melissa was very helpful
Pavlus was terrific in all areas.
We had a very good Oceania cruise. Melissa did a great job with our group!
Pavlus Travel, Melissa handled everything very well for our group.
Melissa was very attentive and quick to respond.
Melissa led us throughout our Viking journey. She has all our business from now on.
We had a great time on our vacation. Melissa our agent did her best.
Melissa and your Customer Support team took great care of our travel needs for this cruise. Oceania provides excellent care during the cruise to include medical support to our COVID isolation and recovery. Pavlus' onboard goodies were a real bonus, we passed along the orchid after enjoying it for 33 days, ate the fruit and gifted the wine to other passengers, as we don't drink. Thanks too for the cashback!!! We met another couple onboard who used your agency after poor service with another, and sent along a referral too. Look forward to working with Pavlus in the future.
As usual, Melissa made all the necessary arrangements for us and fielded all our questions throughout. The trip was flawless. And we have four more cruises setup through Melissa and as with all our previous experience with Melissa and Pavlus, our expectation is that they too will all be flawless!
Very satisfied with service by Pavlus and a great trip with Insight Luxury Gold.
My satisfaction with Pavlus is 110%. My specific satisfaction is with Melissa Pool. As you may not know, our Viking cruise to the heartland of America was cancelled.It was cancelled by Viking, by email approximately 10 days before departure. We didn’t understand what was going on. We then got a phone call from Melissa. Even though it was not Melissa’s fault, or the fault of Pavlus, she took over and helped us out. She told me to sit tight and she would look into our situation, and she did. She helped us rearrange our travel plans, sort out the money situation and gave us all our options about our plans.she was wonderful.She turned a very stressful situation into a new, workable plan. We are now off to Paris in October.. Thank you Pavlus and special thanks to Melissa Pool
It was a good vacation.
Royal Caribbean and Melissa are excellent
Melissa was wonderful !
love Melissa!
My trip—7/18-29 the Germany/Oberammergau was absolutely wonderful!! Taking 11of us and organizing all the minute details was a huge undertaking for Melissa (& me!!) As we have been reminiscing about our trip, everyone agrees that it was a trip if a lifetime. One that we will be talking about for a long time and will certainly never forget! I commend Melissa for all her patience and hard work for me/us!! And Janja, our tour guide was exemplary!! Thank you for everything! And God bless you! Christina Soueidi
Melissa is great at helping plan my vacation and get all the details worked out! Especially like the Pavlus discounts/rebates that are given when booking trips!
The American Queen was an outstanding riverboat. We were notified by Pavlus about a sale and Melissa helped put together a great trip. Cross another off the bucket list.
No problems- very helpful.
Melissa has been very helpful and responsive to our requests and needs. We were pleased with her service and kind help. We will certainly go back to her for next land tours in the future.
Knowledgeable staff, friendly staff, very helpful back office team.
Melissa was absolutely fabulous to work with. This trip was years in the making thanks to covid and Melissa was with me every step of the way helping me to rebook when things were canceled and make sure I was all set when the trip finally happened. Melissa was always quick to answer all of my many questions and find answers to them all. Thanks to all of her help, I knew that this trip would go smoothly, and I am happy to report that it was an amazing trip! I am looking forward to booking my next adventure through Pavlus!
Pavlus travel and Melissa have been fantastic. We have used her to book 4 cruises and 1 tour in the last year. Three cruises are complete, one scheduled for July and a tour in 2023.
Our vacation finally arrived and everything Pavlus Travel planned for my husband and me happened. We had a wonderful time on a wonderful small yacht sailing from Lisbon, Portugal to Barcelona, Spain. Our cash back from the booking arrived before we left home. This was a nice surprise! My agent, Melissa kept up with us and filled us in on what we could expect from Scenic whose tour we were taking. Pavlus will give you a good value for your trip. All personnel I spoke with took care to be sure the answer to my questions were answered ASAP. My husband and I already have another trip planned in March of 2023 headed to New Zealand ;and Australia. Can't wait!
Melissa Pool is a fantastic travel planner. She is always available and either has the answer or knows where to get the answer to all our questions. We could not be happier with our relationship to Pavlus. We have four more cruises booked through Melissa and know that she will take care of our every need. Thank you for making our vacations as worry free as possible. Andy
This was our first American Cruise Lines which you handled the admirative side of the event very efficiently. Thanks.
Had a wonderful time. Ready to travel again.
Meliss is very responsive to all inquires. The airline person was able to help me change flight times which I appreciated.
Great cruise to French Polynesia with Viking. Excellent safety measures to control any covid concerns. In fact, we were covid free and allowed independent exploration. Our cruise was the first international cruise ship to French Polynesia since covid. Melissa did a great job and really helped us with our cruise planning.
Very satisfied with Mellisa, I feel sorry for all you have to go through dealing with Princess and their cancellations and problems with Covid. Mellisa is above and beyond in communicating and handling all the changes.
Wonderful cruise on Disney. The COVID mitigation was outstanding. They could not have done more.
Four cruises in three months. Great service and coordination,
Everything perfect as always.
Our agent, Melissa, was extremely helpful considering all the rebooking she did for us, with the cancellations in the last year. We had five bookings booked and rebooked, she had a cheerful attitude throughout the experiences, with Princess in the changes. Melissa went above and beyond in handling this.
I love Melissa. She follows through on any request, issue etc...She makes sure that everything is done correctly. Love getting money back from Pavlus.
Excellent vacation and thanks to Melissa for her help with a few details.
Mississippi River Cruise was great! Good to get away. Melissa Poole was very helpful and was a pleasure to work with.
Love Melissa. She seems busy but always has time to address any questions, quotes or information we need. Love the discounts you offer!
This is our 2ed time with Melissa. It was great!
Everything went great
On a 1-10, Pavlus is at least a 15. Many, many more trips to take!
Our guide Daniela was excellent and very helpful.like Melissa.
Melissa and the other agent Kimberly we talked to were very helpful since this was a trip planned for 2020 and had to be postponed because of the Covid virus.
Melissa is a great asset to your company.
Melissa is the best!
I appreciated Mellisa's help in planning a Mother - Daughter cruise. We had a lovely time and it was good to spend some quality time with my daughter after 2 years. Holland American did a wonderful job making us feel safe in a Covid19 Delta varient world. We felt confident that everyone on the ship was fully vaccinated. Ann Lyn Martin
I love your discounts.
Obvious that Covid has affected travel services. Ship only half full and so they had to cut a few corners. On board services were still outstanding, but onboard programs were not up to par. Had difficulty keeping our personal group together as we were in separate hotels and buses. However, waitstaff made the day. Captain was a bit introverted and the program director was not as entertaining as past trips. Good trip otherwise. Especially Normandy Beach.
Pavlus has consistantly offered me the lowest prices on tours and cruises or they have met and beat competitor's quotes. Melissa is easy to work with, very patient and professional. I recommend Pavlus all the time.
Very satisfied. I just gave a referral card to a couple last night. My cruise from August 29, 2021 is continuing until 1 December 1, 2021. Has Lauren R. returned as a travel planner? When she left I was turned over to Melissa. On recent bookings on board Oceania, my invoices have come back with Lauren as my travel planner. Please advise if I should contact Lauren R. or Melissa concerning my bookings. Thank you
Trip was handled well. I was kept informed and trip was super.
Melissa and others answered all of my questions. She was prompt to call when an passive occurs with our hotel. I will use Pavlus again. Many thanks!
Melissa and the staff were fantastic. After booking I had questions and Jay Whiteaker worked with American Queen to get answers. Kimberly was informative when texting with her when I first discovered your website. The only negative was the occasional confusion between American Queen Steamship Company and American Cruise Lines. I received two emails, one early and one just before leaving with information about my American Cruise Lines Cruise. Of course, I was on American Queen. However all documents were correct so it looks like some rushed correspondence based on “American”. Urge caution there as it could lead to doubts. I definitely will use you in the future. The rebate is a nice feature.
Melissa and Pavlus were great. I couldn't be happier with the service. However, our trip was interrupted after one day due to the European travel ban so we didn't get to experience the trip.
I’ve booked for years with Pavlus and have always been pleased . It’s nice to get a rebate and melissa Pool, my travel planner is good at handling all the little details.
great job Melissa and customer support
Everything worked out great, thanks to Melissa. There was a bottle of fine champagne waiting for us in our cabin. Thank you, Pavlus! When Oceania offered day rooms in Santiago, Melissa let me know immediately because she remembered that I had asked about them when I got the air arrangements. That was a lifesaver. Several people on the cruise had to arrange their own day rooms. She also told me to book future cruises while I was on the cruise. I booked two, and they were transferred to her.
Everything was great, Melissa did a wonderful job and was always available for questions during the booking process
Pavlus has consistently offered us the best price on tours and cruises. They also add very nice perks. In addition, there is always someone available to assist you when needed. I have been using their services for years when booking cruises and land tours and have recommended them to many friends.
Melissa is the best. I like working with her and will continue to do so...
Fabulous perks Great customer service
I was very satisfied with our Viking River Cruise.(Paris and the Heart of Normandy: 11/26/19-12/03/19). We had a wonderful time and the members of the cruise ship made sure that all of our needs were met. Thank you again for an enjoyable vacation in France!
Melissa was great! In addition to keeping us informed as our trip drew near, Melissa was a tremendous help when my wife had to cancel her trip at the last minute. We had family and friends going, so I could not just cancel. Melissa helped me get the necessary info from the cruise company to file my trip insurance claim as well as helping avoid an exorbitant single-occupancy fee. Melissa really helped save a bad situation for us. This above and beyond service will bring me back to Pavlus.
The travel experience was excellent. Everything went according to plan. Every detail was complimented with the service and efficiency of the Viking Cruise Line personnel. Pauli’s came through on everything promised. Thank you.
Very pleased with the coordinated efforts made by your staff to make our trip so enjoyable. Each step of the way we were met and escorted to the next step of our trip. Your onboard guest relations officer, Marianne was exceptional where at one point she ran after the bus because we were late for the excursion. Efforts continued even including our early morning departure. Thank you
Pavlus was great as usual!! We took a Globus land tour -- Marian Shrines, Fatima & Lourdes. This trip was really, really good! Our tour guide, Jose Luis was great! And our driver, Sergio was awesome!! Bus trips are always a bit more work, but Globus took care of all of the details. Big thanks to Melissa at Pavlus for taking care of all the planning ahead of time!! Looking forward to working with Melissa on my next trip -- Viking Ocean Cruise!!
we have just completed the 14 day Dalmatian, Croatia, and slovenia tour which we highly enjoyed. The tour manager/guide, Lana, was awesome, very cheerful, enthusiastic, very helpful, over and above what we had expected that made our trip so enjoyable and memorable. Bravo Lana, and thank you so much.
Excellent price and service. Melissa was always pleasant and helpful.
Melissa has taken her time to provide alternative itinerary changes.
We highly enjoyed the wonderful gate-1 tour of Nova Scotia on 8-27/ 9-3-2019. Our tour manager, Frances, was awesome and did a superb job in leading and taking care of our tour group throughout the tour. We've learned about the geography, history, culture, and enjoyed the beautiful scenic places. thank you.
Melissa was extremely helpful, she responded quickly when I had a question.
vacation was wonderful melissa very easy to deal with and very responsive glad i took recommendation
Melissa did a great job keeping us informed of various details of our trip including reduced airfare through Tauck Tours. Our tour of the Greek Islands was fantastic, even better than expected.
Great price, (discount credits). A lot of sites seen in one your.
AMA cruises are excellent
Perfect vacation! I got exactly the experience I wanted. Melissa had everything taken care of.
Everything was top notch with both Pavlus and the Avalon cruise. My expectations for the cruise were significantly exceeded, and every detail of the trip was executed in a professional and painless manner for the customer - it was an absolutely wonderful experience! I'm grateful to Melissa who so graciously and professionally assisted in the early stages of trip planning and making final decisions. She was always accessible, courteous, and eager to help, which was very much appreciated, as this was my first cruise (but, hopefully, not my last). Again, hats off to all involved. Cruising is a splendid way to travel - I'm definitely hooked.
We were very satisfied with the service from Pavlus. There wasn't a lot of planning to be done by your agency but they took care of everything else. Thank you for the wine and flowers provided by Pavlus! You are excellent in our book.
