What some of our past travelers have had to say about us:

Thanks for all of your hard work, you guys did a awesome job!
I met some really great people, and hope that I can stay in touch with them.  Wish that I could have met all of you, just wasn't enough hours in a day to do that.  Till we meet again I wish all of you many wonderful memories of the past week! Terri E.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wanted to send a big THANKS to you for making this past week such a wonderful time. This was my first cruise, but definitely not my last!! You worked sooooooo hard at pulling all this together.. I had a magnificent time and I can't believe after five months of anticipating, it's now a memory.  And I couldn't ask for a more memorable week.  Taking care of a couple of hundred maniacs for a week (and preparing them for months before) earns you your own vacation.  Lois G.

I was most pleased with the efforts of Binnacle Travel and Donna Ignasz, in particular, on the recent cruise. MatchTravel is lucky to contract with such a well organized firm. In addition to having almost all of my questions addressed ahead of time, Ms. Ignasz took a personal interest in me and my traveling companions. She quickly got to know all our names and faces and made us feel most welcome. The cruise itself had well organized and publicized events. Judging from the amount of coupling I observed, the plans were most effective. Donna was omni-present throughout the 7 days. I was also passenger on a previous cruise and on a Feb. 2003 cruise arranged by another firm.  I preferred the more sophisticated approach to introducing largely professional singles used by Binnacle. I must not be the only one of this opinion as I pleased to see many cruisers from last year's cruise on the just completed cruise. Earl C.

I just wanted to let you know that you ran a great cruise trip. I am already waiting to see where the next trip will be. Scott C.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for putting together a wonderful cruise!!! I had more fun than I can remember! You and Lauren did a great job! The dating game was a hoot and everyone was so much fun! (Everyone I remember, that is!) Trish S.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to say that I had a FABULOUS vacation!  Thanks to everyone for helping make it such a great time.  I enjoyed meeting you all and making such great new friends.  Donna S.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the BEST time I have ever had on a trip......and hope to do it again next year.....Cheryl T.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I certainly am one of the many I am sure that had a wonderful time.  Many thanks and praises to yourself and Lauren in setting this up and especially to the crew and staff of the Voyager as they literally blew me away with their attentive and gracious staff !!!!  I actually work in the Hospitality industry that owns six luxury resorts in South Florida and I only wish OUR staff could as wonderful as the crew of the Voyager was. I cannot wait for the next trip...in fact I am already starting to look at some options and putting some money aside (even though it will take me awhile to pay off what I spent on THIS trip!  ha ha ha) for it too.Thank you again for all of your hard work in putting this trip together.  It was a huge success in my mind. Keith C.

Thanks for all of your hard work.  I am raving about what a blast we had. The private events really brought people together and made some more comfortable with hanging with their new friends. What an ego boost, and to know that everyone is there for the same reason - to have fun and make new friends. Diane T.

I recently went on your MatchTravel Caribbean Singles cruise. You obviously put a lot of time, effort and preparation into this event and it showed through by your dedication and high level of service. Tom S.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you soooooo much for a wonderful trip!  It was all I had hoped for and more .... thanx!   You're the best!!  Jerry B.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the great time! I never thought I would meet a great "match" and now I'm making further plans with her. Overall, a terrific job! Ron O.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a sensational time. This was the best thing for my post divorce therapy. I met someone special and have some romantic memories I will never forget. You were the leader of the pack! CP

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cruise was awesome.  As you know I met a real hottie!!!!  You'll hear no complaints from me.  In fact, sign me up for next year, even if I'm married I'm coming! LB

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just wanted to write you to thank you for convincing me to go on the October cruise.  There WAS a BIG reason I had to go.  I had such a fantastic time!  And I would like to mention that I may have found my perfect match and I have pursued a relationship after the cruise.  We have stayed in touch every day.  I will be flying to see him in about a week and he hinted that I will be meeting his family. Again, thanks so much for talking me into going.  This should be a good story for you to use to convince future travelers to GO no matter what they come down with.  As long as they are conscious and able to walk, they should GO or else they may miss meeting their perfect match. April D.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Donna and Kelly - a little note to say thank you for a great week! Everything was just perfect. You are truly a professional and I am glad our paths in life have crossed, and I hope to spend another vacation with you soon. God bless you, thank you again! B.D.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Donna, Kelly, Jay, you did an outstanding job! I would definitely do another singles cruise with you. I am encouraging my friends to join me next year. Kathy H.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to thank you again for a super great week.  By the way, thank you for the great gifts in my Gift Bag from the Costume Party. Never did I expect all this, it is much appreciated. Once again, you and Kelly were the perfect hosts. I am looking forward to working with you for our future cruises...that is if you want me back. Blaise

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks again for a wonderful time!!  The people were great and you did a fantastic job.  I really appreciate all the work you did and the complaining you must have dealt with.  You're the best!!!  Thanks for making my vacation another happy planted memory to counteract the nasty year I had.  You were at beck and call the entire trip and you need a vacation to recuperate from the trip. Lois

Donna -

This is just some information I wanted to pass along to my friends. I have talked to some of my friends that thought they would try some other singles cruises which had 300 to 600 people on them -  SinglesCruise and another group which is supposed to be really good but can’t mention their name. I told by my friends that they wasted their money. Ports all the same and for the men the women were way to old or let’s just say not our type – not fun at all. These friends have been on 2 of Binnacle’s cruises and on two others which were supposed to be the best and they said that Donna’s (Binnacle) was by far the most fun and the best people they have met. They thought that Binnacle’s were a little higher priced but not that much and they would have paid more now to go on Binnacle’s cruises now that they have tried the other singles cruises. They felt they had wasted their money big time and were very disappointed and that they did miss the Colorful Kid from Colorado (gee, I wonder who that is, lol, the fun guy!)

So for those who think things might be better, maybe the grass is not so greener on the other side. Again, just some information so do with it as you will. Good luck next year. Maybe I’ll be there, maybe I wont, but I will say that it has been a great pleasure to have met so many fun and cool people that I would have never met staying in my own little world and I’m sure some of you feel the same. Some time you have to step outside of your world. None of us would have ever met if we hadn’t.  Donny Rice, Colorado (3 Time Binnacle Traveler)
