Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might be wondering before we start planning.
Head over to my Plan a Trip page and tell me what you have in mind. The more details you can give me about where you want to go, who’s traveling, your dates, budget, and what you’re looking for, the better! I’ll review everything and reach out with next steps.
How do I get started planning a trip?
For most trips, no! I’m paid by the travel suppliers I work with, so there is typically no additional cost to book your trip through RPM Travel Destinations. If your trip requires a planning or service fee for any reason, I’ll always let you know before we get started.
Do you charge a fee to plan my trip?
A little bit of everything! Cruises, all-inclusive resorts, honeymoons, destination weddings, theme park vacations, international travel, group trips, bucket-list vacations, and more. If you’re not sure whether I can help with a particular trip, just ask!
What can you help me book?
Airfare can be included when it’s available as part of a vacation package through one of my travel partners. I do not book standalone flights, but I’m happy to help you understand your options as we plan the rest of your trip.
Can you help with flights?
In many cases, yes! A lot of cruises, resorts, and vacation packages allow you to secure your trip with a deposit and make payments before the final payment date. The exact deposit and payment requirements depend on what you’re booking, and I’ll go over those details with you.
Can I make payments on my trip?
Your travel payments are made directly to the travel supplier, not to RPM Travel Destinations. Depending on what you’re booking, I’ll send you a secure payment authorization form or payment link.
How are payments handled?
Yes! I recommend protecting your trip with travel insurance. Coverage and pricing vary based on the trip and policy, and I can help point you toward options so you can choose the coverage that makes sense for you.
Do you recommend travel insurance?
You can reach me by email or through the contact form on my website. If we’re already working together on a trip, you can always reach out directly using the contact information I’ve provided.
How do I contact you?
Travel Concierge is for people who travel regularly and want a more personal relationship with their travel advisor. We’ll start with a consultation so I can get to know you, who you travel with, your preferences, budget, travel style, and the little details that matter to you. I’ll keep that information on file so you don’t have to start from scratch every time you’re ready for another trip.
What is Travel Concierge?
Can I use Travel Concierge if I already have a trip I want to plan?
Absolutely! You don’t have to wait until your next trip. We can start with your Travel Concierge consultation and then jump right into planning the trip you already have in mind.
Absolutely. I can help with trips for families and friends, milestone celebrations, destination weddings, bachelor and bachelorette trips, reunions, and other groups traveling together.
Can you plan group travel?
Can you help with excursions and things to do?
Yes! I can help with excursions, tours, activities, theme park experiences, and other things you’d like to do while you’re traveling.
I already booked a cruise. Can I transfer it to you?
Possibly! Many cruise lines allow you to transfer a recently booked reservation to a travel advisor within a certain timeframe. If your reservation is eligible, there’s no charge to transfer it to RPM Travel Destinations. Head over to my Cruise Transfer page and send me your booking information so I can take a look.
It depends on where you’re traveling and your specific itinerary. Passport and entry requirements can vary by destination, cruise itinerary, and traveler, so I always recommend checking the current requirements for your trip well before you travel.
Do I need a passport?
When will I receive my travel documents?
I’ll provide your trip details and important information as we get closer to travel. Depending on your trip, you may also receive a personalized digital itinerary with your reservations, transfers, activities, and other details all in one place.
