Testimonials

In our guests' own words.

We had the pleasure of having Susan as our private assistant during a recent vacation, and she was exceptional. She consistently went above and beyond anticipating our needs and making us feel truly cared for. She even discovered it was my Birthday while we were on the cruise, looked at my facebook page, and arranged a beautiful customized birthday celebration in our Suite. It was such a thoughtful surprise and a memory I will always cherish. Susan's attention to detail, thoughtfulness and genuine care make her someone who creates truly memorable experiences. I can not think of anyone better to have as a travel consultant and guide for an Ireland experience. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.

During a very special cruise on Royal Caribbean my children and grandchildren had the honor of being assigned Susie as our Genie. That 7 day trip was totally wonderful. Susan took care of every detail from our cabin comfort to our onboard show reservations. She was available 24/7 for anything we needed or just wanted. Her personality won over my children and grandchildren immediately. She made such a positive impression on them that they will never forget her and talk about her still today. They constantly ask if we can go to Ireland to visit her. I have had several RCCL Genies but none of them can hold a candle to Susan.

There are people who provide great service and then there are those rare people who have a genuine gift for hospitality. Susan Flannery is absolutely one of those people. From the moment we met her, she had an incredible ability to make us feel completely looked after while never making anything feel forced or overly formal. She anticipated what we needed before we even thought to ask, remembered the smallest details, and somehow always knew how to turn an ordinary moment into something memorable. Her warmth, personality, professionalism and attention to detail are truly exceptional. What impressed me most was how personal the entire experience felt. You never felt like just another Guest. She took time to understand what we enjoyed and what would make the experience special for us, and then went above and beyond to make it happen. That kind of genuine care simply cannot be taught. I would trust her without hesitation to plan an experience, recommend the perfect places, handle the details, and make sure every person in her care has an unforgettable time. If you have the opportunity to experience Ireland with her looking after you, take it. You won't simply see Ireland, you will experience it through someone who genuinely loves taking care of people and creating memories they will talk about for years. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 5 Stars doesn't quite cover it.

I am an experienced traveller and no one can come close to Susan. It was my Birthday and me and my three guests felt like royalty. She is also a beautiful human being.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with our cruise Genie Susan. From beginning to end the level of service she provided was truly exceptional. Susan was knowledgeable, attentive, patient and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure every detail of our trip was taken care of. What really stood out was Susan's personal attention and genuine desire to make our vacation special. One moment in particular meant so much to our family. My Grandson wanted donuts but the donut shop was closed. Instead of simply saying they were not available Susan went out of her way and somehow found a way to have the donuts made especially for him. It may sound like a small thing but to us, it was an incredibly thoughtful gesture and a perfect example of the kind of person Susan is. Throughout our cruise Susan was always helpful, kind and attentive. She made us feel as though our family and our vacation truly mattered to her. Her professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding, but it was those extra personal touches that made her service unforgettable. Exceptional customer service like this is rare and Susan truly made our cruise even more special. We could not have asked for a better Genie and would absolutely love to have her service again in the future. Thank you Susan for everything you did for our family and especially for making a little boy's day with those donuts. You are truly exceptional at what you do. Five stars are simply not enough.

Susan was absolutely amazing from the moment we met her. She took time to really get to know us – not just as guests but as people. She learned our likes and dislikes, the things we enjoyed doing and even the things we were not particularly fond of. Because of that everything she planned and arranged for us felt incredibly personal and perfectly suited to us. Susan truly went above and beyond to make our experience magical and unforgettable. Every detail she planned was thoughtful, fun and exactly what we would have chosen for ourselves. She somehow managed to make everything feel effortless while making sure we were always having an amazing time. What stood out most was how much she genuinely cared about our experience. She made us feel special, looked after, and completely spoiled in the best possible way. She was not just our Genie, she became someone we genuinely enjoyed spending time with and will always remember fondly. Anyone who has the pleasure of travelling with Susan is in for an absolutely fantastic experience. She is truly one of a kind.

I met Susan as a Guest in Royal Caribbean where I had the pleasure of having her as my Royal Genie. From the moment we met her we knew she was someone special. She was not only incredibly organised and efficient, but everything she did for us showed such incredible attention to detail. Her recommendations were fantastic and she always seemed to be one step ahead. We were so impressed with her that we sailed again shortly afterwards and specifically requested her. Susan is someone who truly listens to what you say and anticipates your needs before you even have to ask. She has a wonderful way of making you feel taken care of while still making everything feel effortless and personal. I have no doubt Susan will be incredibly successful in her new business. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her is in very good hands. She genuinely cares about the experience she creates for her clients, and that is something that you simply cannot teach.

We really enjoyed our week with Susan! She was so organised and made all our reservations for us all week. It made our trip seamless. She was extra friendly and so organised. I felt like at the end of the week we had made a new friend and had an awesome vacation.
