Scott, Cindy, Ric, & Kim's Tahiti Cruise Adventure
If you like to travel you need Carefree Romantic Vacations. After almost 40 years flying for a major airline you would think I would know all the ropes for travel. That's not the case. Recently my wife Cindy and I along with our good friends Rick and Kim decided we needed a trip to Tahiti and I knew my travel expertise would be of no help. So our friends recommended we contact their travel agency Carefree Romantic Vacations and Sheila Cannon. Sheila was a pleasure to work with making many suggestions for both the resort and cruise portions of out trip. Well everything was smooth and absolutely fantastic. Every step of the way Sheila was there answering our questions and arranging things along the way. We stayed at resorts in both Papeete and Bora Bora as well as a 7 day cruise on the Paul Gauguin and it was amazing. Future trips are already in the planning and Sheila and Carefree Romantic Vacations will definitely be part of it.
Thanks you Sheila
Scott, Cindy, Ric and Kim
Sheila’s Expertise Turned Our Alaskan Cruise Into a Dream Trip
Thank you Sheila for putting together a fantastic vacation !! An Alaskan cruise has been on our bucket list for several years and with your expertise it was an amazing trip !! Since this was our first cruise in decades, your knowledge was critical to its success. Thank you for taking the time before booking our flight to ask us all the questions about our likes and dislikes. It definitely made a difference. Sheila offered us excellent advice on choosing excursions. We chose to work directly with vendors on shore rather than thru the cruise line as she suggested. Sheila took care of EVERYTHING ! She handled our flights to and from Vancouver, making sure we we didn't have to stress through customs in order to get on the ship or make our fights. Thanks so much for coordinating a fantastic trio !!
Mark Wahlberg's First-Class Luxury Anniversary Trip to Croatia
Sheila is the absolute BEST AGENT you could ever find to help you plan the ultimate getaway! I wanted to plan something special for our 25th wedding anniversary on October 4, 2022. Both my wife and I have traveled abroad in the past to Europe in which we both planned our prior trips together. This time I wanted to surprise my wife with a trip we both would never forget and let me tell you, we were both taken back & totally impressed with our trip she planned to Croatia… absolutely FIRST CLASS all the way! I had a minor accident the second day we were in Zagreb where I tore my meniscus. We thought we had to quit and return home, however after our local tour guide contacted Sheila and explained my issue, Sheila immediately went into action modifying the remainder of our trip to accommodate my injury so we could enjoy the rest of our ten (10) day trip! Simply put, Sheila is amazing, We can’t wait to put together another trip using Sheila’s expertise!
Bucket List Alaska Cruise Adventure on Oceania Regatta
Sheila truly went above and beyond in developing a bucket list vacation for us. She researched many types of Alaskan cruises and the various cruise lines based upon our initial conversation with her. We settled upon Oceania based upon the length and itinerary of the cruise. Experiencing and seeing the Hubbard Glacier up close and being able to witness and hear the intense roar of the glacier calving from only a football field's length away was indeed the highlight of our trip. We even held a piece of the floating glacial ice! Alaska is absolutely beautiful in its untouched beauty and wildlife. The air is crisp and clean and the people were so friendly. We had an amazing Alaskan adventure!
Sheila's expert guidance and attention to detail made our Alaska cruise truly unforgettable – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. You can even read more about our amazing journey in the blog article I wrote, The Perfect 10-Day Alaska Cruise Adventure: A Bucket List Must!
Stress-Free Machu Picchu Adventure for Mother and Son
Sheila was helpful, comprehensive, and patient with our changes during planning. Planning that started as an entire family’s vacation and ended in a mother and son trip that went well beyond checking off an item from a bucket list. No stress, nothing to worry about (although I worried plenty before the trip, which proved to have been a waste of time!), we just enjoyed the adventure. We started in Lima, then on to the Sacred Valley, to hiking the last day of the Inca Trail, and seeing Machu Picchu through tear-filled eyes from the Sun Gate, to the citadel at Machu Picchu, to hiking Wayna Picchu, back to Cusco for a tour there, and then flying back to Lima and home. All the hotels were amazing and the food was sublime. We appreciated the welcomes at each hotel, and having personal guides at each transfer and activity. So comfortable and no concerns with purchasing tickets, permits, how will we get from here to there, finding places to eat, how to handle the water, adjusting to the altitude; every detail had been covered by Sheila’s expert and precise planning. Thank you, Sheila, for an unforgettable trip filled with stellar memories. Leslie and Scott

Unforgettable Alaskan Anniversary Cruise with Expert Planning
Sheila recently helped book a cruise to Alaska for my husband and me. She is such a pleasure to work with. She is so very thorough and informative. She goes the extra mile to seek and secure perks for her clients. For instance, she informed the cruise line that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, resulting in being served a special cake on our anniversary and getting a congratulatory phone call from the captain of the ship.
In this day and age when most travel can be booked online by the traveler, Sheila adds value by lending her expertise and personal travel experience, which is invaluable to less experienced travelers like my husband and myself.

Unforgettable Family Vow Renewal at Beaches Turks & Caicos
I wanted to thank Sheila Cannon of Carefree Romantic Vacations!!
She arranged a trip of a lifetime for my husband and I, our 2 children and their significant others as well as 14 of our dear friends.
She arranged 7 rooms including a mini suite for our friends that had a 1 year old.
We went to Turks and Caicos for 1 week.
Sheila arranged the entire trip which was at a Beaches all inclusive resort that was absolutely incredible.
The hotel staff, restaurants, amenities and location couldn’t have been more perfect!!
This trip occurred during Covid and unfortunately my husband and I came down with it right before our trip.
Unbeknownst to us, Sheila suggested the children and our friends participate in a vow renewal for our 40th anniversary. We were delayed by 4 days. Sheila arranged all the necessary changes, and once we were healthy, we were able to go and enjoy ourselves, my husband and I had no idea that we were having a Vow renewal and it was most touching and memorable!!
We have incredible pictures of entire trip.
Thank you Sheila!!!
You definitely go over and beyond to take care of your clients.
With Grateful Hearts, Brian and Cathy
Seamless Destination Wedding Planning in Mexico with Sheila Cannon
Quick points: Sheila was
- very responsive,
- kind and professional, and
- very easy to work with.
She was like a matchmaker who helped us find the right resort that fit our many preferences for our destination wedding. She truly made our experience memorable and carefree, and we highly recommend her and her services. We plan to seek her help again for future travel plans. Feel free to continue reading below for more details about our experience.
We decided early that we wanted a destination wedding, but the world offers many options, and the task to pick a location seemed daunting. Even after we decided on a country (Mexico), the wedding planning task was still daunting to do on our own because there were so many options within that country, so we decided it would be best to seek the help of a professional. We found Sheila on The Knot, and after reading a little more about her, we decided to contact her. Part of requesting a consultation involved filling out a questionnaire that asked for several of our preferences, and during our first phone conversation, she asked us to elaborate on our responses to that questionnaire.
Some of our preferences included the following: 1) all-inclusive resort, 2) family-friendly, and 3) affordability for us and our guests. Following the phone conversation, she emailed a few suggestions based on our preferences, and we looked into the offerings of each by exploring their websites and YouTube reviews by other travellers. One of those resorts actually met all three of our major preferences, and as soon as we confirmed our choice, Sheila went into action. She immediately set up a website for us to share with our guests. After a round of feedback from us, the website was launched, and our guests used it to contact her, and she essentially served as their travel agent. She helped our guests book room reservations, flights, group transportation between the hotel and resort, and excursions (if desired by the guest). She helped all of our 75 guests, including accommodating families to be near each other at the resort (and this resort was VERY large).
Regarding our wedding, she helped us communicate with the appropriate wedding planning personnel at the resort. Whenever any issues arose, Sheila served as our advocate to help us communicate our needs with the resort. And throughout the trip, she threw in a few pleasant unexpected wedding surprises for us here and there. Our only criticism is that she could not join us as one of our wedding guests; she is such a pleasant person, and we wish she could have been there to enjoy the fruits of her labor.
The least we can do is thank her and recommend other couples to seek her assistance with destination wedding planning. We hope she'll consider helping us again for our next romantic getaway.

Last-Minute Honeymoon Bliss in Jamaica
In the process of planning our wedding my husband and I thought of everything but soon realized we forgot to plan our honeymoon! We had a month before our wedding when in dawned on us that we still hadn't booked a single thing for our honeymoon. We chose to book with Sheila at Carefree Romantic Vacations to help us plan all the details for our honeymoon. We've worked with Sheila before and loved our experience so it was a no brained to do so again. We had a specific week we could take our honeymoon and Sheila helped us narrow down location, activities and took care of all bookings. We chose her concierge package and are so glad we did because we didn't worry about a thing. There were several special touches that were embedded to make our honeymoon that much special as well. Sheila booked us a complementary sunset photo shoot and provided an itinerary which my type A personality was super thankful for. We loved honeymooning in Jamaica and we look forward to booking her for future travels!
Unforgettable Honeymoon at Sandals Royal Plantation
I contacted Sheila when the time came to book our honeymoon for April 2022. We had an initial phone consultation during she really got to know my wants for the trip. I told Sheila that my future husband was not keen on traveling and I wanted a trip that he would love so much that it would make him want to travel more. I will say that my favorite thing about Sheila is that she made that a reality! The other great thing about her is that she has been all over the world and can tell you so much about so many places which really helps you decide where to book your trip to. We ended up deciding on Sandals Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and we are so happy that we went there, it was the perfect honeymoon for us! The butler service, the food, the people, the beautiful scenery...everything was top notch and they really do treat you like royalty. Sheila let us know that we could go next door to the bigger Sandals resort with more amenities. We liked being able to have access to that as well but mostly enjoyed the calmer and more relaxed vibe at Royal Plantation. Sheila was very quick at communicating with me anytime I emailed her with questions. She booked two excursions for us: the bioluminescent blue lagoon and a day on the power boat, as well as a couples massage. We really enjoyed all of it and can't wait to go back to Royal Plantation some day. If you are truly looking for a "carefree romantic vacation," Sheila is the person to go to!

Dream Honeymoon in St. Lucia
Sheila planned our dream honeymoon for my husband and me! All we had to do was tell her what we wanted, and she made sure it happened.
She was always available when we had questions and kept us on track and informed. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation to the fullest because she was there to help us every step of the way.
We went to the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia and stayed at the Sandals Grande resort. The location was incredible, and we were able to do many fun activities off the resort that Sheila organized for us.
Thank you for our amazing vacation, Sheila!

Flawless Destination Wedding at Sandals Grenada
Superb planning and execution by the best travel agent I have ever worked with in my 57 years of extensive travel. We attended a truly wonderful destination wedding at Sandals in Grenada that was romantic, flawless, and hassle-free. Sheila Cannon is a gifted and talented specialist whose attention to detail and expertise made the process easy and fun. If we had it to do over again we would certainly chose a destination wedding at Sandals over a standard wedding for the intimacy, elegance, and simplicity--an absolutely special life event!!
Unforgettable Dream Trip to Bora Bora for a Couple from Switzerland
(Translated by Google) Sheila put together an unforgettable dream trip for us. We gave her our budget and shared our ideas. She put something great together for us and always responded promptly to any questions, even on weekends. On the trip everything worked like clockwork. We even got a free upgrade twice, it definitely exceeded our expectations. I would book with her again at any time and can only warmly recommend her. She was also able to offer us great prices, e.g. I would have paid a lot more for the hotels myself if I had booked it myself.
(Original)
Sheila hat uns eine unvergessliche Traumreise zusammengestellt. Wir haben ihr unser Budget angegeben und unsere Vorstellungen mitgeteilt. Sie hat uns etwas tolles zusammengestellt und hat immer sofort auf jegliche Fragen geantwortet, sogar am Wochenende. Auf der Reise hat alles wie am Schnürchen funktioniert. Wir haben sogar zweimal ein gratis Upgrade erhalten, es hat definitiv unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Ich würde jederzeit wieder bei ihr buchen und kann sie nur wärmstens empfehlen. Sie konnte uns auch super Preise bieten, z.B bei den Hotels hätte ich selber viel mehr bezahlt, wenn ich es selber gebucht hätte.
Perfect Bora Bora Family Vacation
We engaged Sheila to plan our family vacation to Bora Bora. We were impressed with her knowledge of the various resorts, and after she gained an understanding of the type of vacation we wanted, she recommended the perfect resort for us. Then she went further, getting us excellent rates plus upgraded rooms with meals included. She had many great suggestions for excursions which illustrated her extensive knowledge of the area. And when life intervened, she helped us navigate through COVID delays and family dramas—she was available throughout our trip to help manage travel surprises and weather-related changes. I highly recommend Sheila for your travel planning needs.

Perfect Proposal and Romantic Surprises in Kenya
We just returned from another amazing vacation, thanks to Sheila! Planning a trip to both Europe and Africa would always have been complicated, but that was especially true now with constantly-changing COVID requirements. While we were in the air en route to Switzerland, Kenya changed their entrance requirements. We would never have known about this and would have been stuck at the airport in Nairobi if it weren't for Sheila! She was ON IT and when I landed in Zurich I had a message from her outlining all the changes and telling me exactly where to go in the Zurich airport to take a new test. I can't imagine what a disaster it would have been without her!
Our Christmas Eve in Zurich and our safari in Kenya, especially, surpassed our expectations at every turn. There were lots of romantic surprises, such as a private dinner in the greenhouse at Giraffe Manor, that Sheila had for us without our asking! We got engaged on this trip and Sheila is already helping us to plan our destination wedding--I would never take on something like that without her! My fiancé calls Sheila our "secret weapon" always making sure our travel goes off without a hitch!

Flawless Family Travel to a Destination Wedding
We just landed in Denver and I just wanted to say a huge thank you! We had the best trip but the best part is how smooth our travel experience was. As you know it was all of our first time traveling out of the country and there were some nerves for the long day of travel (especially with the baby!) but it was a great experience due to your planning. Being able to attend my cousins destination wedding and reconnecting with family was truly a priceless experience and your expertise was the cherry on top of the trip! Thank you so much and I’ll absolutely be reaching out in the future to assist us with future travel plans!
Perfect Stress-Free Hawaiian Honeymoon
Sheila at Carefree Romantic Vacations is the best! She planned our perfect Honeymoon in Hawaii. First class tickets on the plane, an amazing hotel, transportation for all events, and fun attractions each day, every detail was perfectly planned. The best part was it was stress free. We didn’t have to do anything other than agree to some of the events. She also sends a link for a phone app that allows you to see the entire itinerary with special instructions for each event and all the necessary documentation. It was so nice to be able to check the app daily for step by step instructions to make sure the day went smooth. We never had to contact her while we were there because of this preparation. If you want a carefree vacation at the best prices available, Sheila will put the work in to make it happen. We really could not have asked for a better Honeymoon.

Unbelievable Honeymoon Experience with Carefree Romantic Vacations
My husband and I used carefree romantic vacations to help plan our honeymoon. Sheila was referred to us by my parents who had hired her to help plan a vacation in the past.

Incredible 15th Anniversary River Cruise in Europe
My wife and I were looking to go on a trip to Europe for our 15th wedding anniversary. We were trying the usual google searches and other online services and not able to get what we wanted. We were referred to Sheila and Carefree Romantic Vacations and WOW!!! What an incredible experience from start to finish. Not only was the trip amazing, we took a river cruise, but with Covid we had to make multiple changes to both the cruise and the flights. Sheila was by our side the entire way and put in a ton of extra effort to make the changes and really guarantee our trip went smoothly. I highly recommend using her services.
Unforgettable 10th Anniversary in Bora Bora
I absolutely recommend Sheila! She did a wonderful job planning my 10th anniversary trip to Bora Bora. She made the process so easy and stress free by helping me pick the right hotel, excursions, and flights. She helped me comply with the COVID restrictions and dealt with every little detail including dinner reservations. My husband and I were especially glad we hired her after the airline cancelled our flight there and then rescheduled our flight home. She was able to put us on a waitlist with the airline for another flight and contact the hotel to extend our stay last minute at the same rate. I was so grateful I didn’t have to deal with that. It was the most memorable and romantic vacation we’ve ever had. My husband never wants to go on vacation and after our trip to Bora Bora, he can’t stop talking about using Sheila again.

Stress-Free Vacation Thanks to Sheila Cannon
I met Sheila Cannon four years ago at the Scuba Show in Long Beach. I was planning a surprise trip for my wife and decided to go all out. Sheila said she would handle all the details and I wouldn’t have to worry about anything. I told her what I wanted, white sand beaches, plenty of sunshine and easy access to scuba diving topped my list. I had started planning this trip about 18 months in advance and during that time I had numerous changes and requests. Basically, I threw some curveballs at Sheila, changing travel dates, type of accommodations etc. Sheila handled them all in stride. She actually seemed to enjoy it. Everything was “good to go” as we neared the start of our vacation and my wife was really excited (I had to finally tell her about the trip so she would have a few weeks to prepare). And then COVID 19 hit. All sorts of problems arose but not for me. Sheila, “my travel agent” took care of everything. She not only had to handle some curveballs but also some fastballs, sinkers, sliders, knuckleballs and change ups as well. I did absolutely nothing, Sheila took care of everything. I even added two days on the front end and the tail end of our vacation at the last minute with just a single call to “my travel agent”. And if that wasn’t enough, I even changed hotel reservations for our last two days during our vacation with a short email to “my travel agent. Sheila hit a GRAND SLAM WALK OFF HOME RUN. The end result is that we had an absolutely fantastic worry free vacation.
All this to say, if you want a stress free, worry free vacation, call “my travel agent” Sheila Cannon.
Amazing Cabo Trip Planned by Sheila Cannon

Stress-Free Family Cruise with Sheila Cannon
We received Sheila's name from friends who had utilized her services many times to plan their trips. From the moment we spoke to her and explained our desire to take our family of 10 on a once in a lifetime cruise, we knew she was the one to help us.
Sheila was very responsive and very patient with all of my questions. She recommended the perfect ship (based on what we told her we wanted) and made excellent recommendations for our excursions.
Knowing the reservations were made for our flights, room bookings on the ship and our excursions was such a HUGE relief. Coordinating a family of 10 was a bit overwhelming for me, but Sheila made all of my anxiety disappear.
We would highly recommend her for any trip you have. Trust me....it's worth having everything taken care of so you can just relax and enjoy the experience!

Magical Second Honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta
Sheila was OUTSTANDING! She planned our magical destination wedding & honeymoon 4 years ago, and our recent second honeymoon was just as magical! Everything was perfect, relaxing, romantic, and was one of the most relaxing and rejuvenating vacations we've had in a long time. We are so appreciative of Sheila for making our second honeymoon a true celebration!
I've already recommended Sheila to many of my friends, who have also been thrilled when they've worked with her!
Perfect Egyptian Adventure with Sheila
Several years ago we selected Sheila to plan our trip to Switzerland and Italy, and she was excellent. What makes Sheila different is: communication skills, efficiency and follow thru, and an easy going/friendly approach. She knows the right questions to ask to help you define what you want.
We just returned from Egypt, and again Sheila did an exceptional job and the trip was perfect! We never once worried about the trip, we just immersed ourselves in the experience and it unfolded flawlessly. We give Sheila our highest recommendation!!
Stress-Free Cabo Wedding with Sheila
Our initial thought when planning a wedding was - OVERWHELMED, we had no idea where to start or even what we wanted to plan. The idea of a destination wedding came up and my parents, husband and I couldn't think of a better way to get married. We wanted to plan some intimate, fun and that was us! My parents have used Sheila several times over the years, we instantly thought to use her for our destination wedding. Sheila is the GAL to work with - as any bride is, I was extremely nervous and had NO IDEA where to begin. Sheila took the time to take into account our "Resort Needs" and narrowed down resorts for us to pick through, she then got info from each of the resorts wedding departments and allowed us to choose. This was exactly what my mom, husband and I needed to select a resort. We landed at Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos - which we loved, once we were there. I will say that communication - on the resort side - was lacking at times prior to arrival and Sheila worked through all of our communication lapses and kept amazing records. Sheila not only worked to arrange our group booking, but worked with the wedding department to plan our Fiesta in Cabo San Lucas. We will absolutely use Sheila and her company again no matter our travel needs.
A couple things any destination couple should think about when planning:
Patience - You will be working with people from other countries, time zones - who work at resorts. Their job is to sell you the biggest packages and make money. Sheila will help you keep what you want into account, keep record of that and knock heads when needed to see your dreams through.
If you have a vision of how you things to look - remember that, don't get lost in the idea that the resort and where you are at is the decor, if you want some color or traditional touches. You can absolutely do that! You may have to bring stuff with you, but don't let go of all of the traditions just because you are going destination!
Have FUN - I had lots of stress around bringing a group and making sure everyone loved it. Sheila put my mind at ease more than once, assuring my the resort had lots of amazing reviews and handled the group booking like a champ! She provided us with lists of who booked with arrival dates, which HELPED SOO much once we were down there.
Sheila: Your Go-To Dream Vacation Planner
Sheila is a step above the rest when it comes to planning your dream vacation. It has now become automatic for my wife and I to allow her to plan our trips. From the experience she has all over the world and being able to sit back and relax as she tackles the tough jobs associated with traveling. Sheila has saved our vacations multiple times and will to continue to receive our business! - Thank you Sheila!
Sheila: The Ultimate Trip of a Lifetime Planner
Sheila booked a trip of a lifetime for my mom, my son and I. We spent an amazing time revisiting my mother’s birthplace. Everything was perfectly planned and each detail was carefully laid out. My mom is 83 so I was worried about logistics traveling. I should not have worried. Sheila thought of everything!!! I can’t wait to plan my next adventure with her help.
Sheila’s Flawless Planning for Our Sandals Grande Antigua Perfect Getaway
Hi Sheila, It seems like a million years since we got back from Antigua and I was very remiss to not get in touch sooner. Thank you so much for organizing our Sandals Grande Antigua booking. Everything went very smoothly. The resort was very good, and our room was in a perfect location. The diving was so-so (not unexpected) and the dive store staff were awesome - really looked after us (I think they enjoyed not having to baby sit us actually!!)
The restaurants were disappointing - too bad there was no local food. Anyhow we found a favorite and they looked after us very well - including all kinds of birthday shenanigans from our rather unruly group!!
The tour desk went above and beyond to book segways and ziplines etc. And everything went without a hitch.
So - many thanks again - loved the perks you got for us - the massages were so good, Martyn went back for another. Champagne glasses arrive today - and they are gorgeous.
Many thanks and regards,
(And the rest of the crazy birthday party)
Our Perfect Alaska Land and Sea Tour: A Retirement Adventure with Sheila’s Expert Planning
Sheila was recommended to us by friends who went to Alaska on a cruise, which they loved. Since my husband and I recently retired, we wanted to see "everything" in Alaska. Since we had never been on a cruise or a tour of this magnitude, we had lots of questions and reservations about all of it...but Sheila answered all of them and sent us lots of emails and docs that not only helped alleviate any nervousness but also got us more excited about our trip! After getting some background on us, she gave us choices she thought would be a good fit, and we ended up loving the land tour we took the first week, and then the relaxing cruise we took the second week. We saw so many different sites, both beautiful geographically and interesting culturally...more than we ever thought we would. We have lots of stories and memories for our families and friends and will be recommending Sheila to all of them for their vacation needs. Thanks for the quality, organization and ease of working with you on our first adventure Sheila!

Experience Flawless Vacation Planning with Sheila
Sheila planned our 34 day vacation thru Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England, with a return trip on the Queen Mary II, and a weekend in Virginia.
Everything was flawless! We had multiple travel connections traveling by plane, train, ferry, rental cars, limousines, and ocean lines. With 15 different hotels along the way and multiple tours, we expected to hit some bumps along the way, but with Sheila's attention to detail, we never had an issue.
Sheila also utilizes a mobile app that gives you access to all your travel details anywhere and anytime.
First, I would highly recommend Sheila for any travel plans, work or pleasure.
Second, I would recommend a visit to the British Isles.
We'll be using Sheila again for our next trip.
Unforgettable Travel Experiences with Sheila
Last year, my husband and I decided we wanted to take a trip for my 30th birthday (to Alaska, because I wanted to see the glaciers before they're gone!), as well as a New Year's tropical vacation. Sheila's efforts allowed us to have two "trip of a lifetime" experiences in a single year!
When we first decided that we wanted to see Alaska, we weren't even sure how to go about beginning the process and were quickly overwhelmed. But more importantly, in terms of our second trip, while we knew we wanted to go *somewhere* tropical, we weren't sure exactly where. This is where Sheila comes in! After a short phone call getting to know us both, Sheila quickly helped us choose the right cruise line for our goals (a smaller ship, that was more adult-oriented, with a passable dining experience) and select a location for our first tropical trip (Belize).
Sheila took care of every element of the trip, from booking a private car to take us to our hotel the night before our cruise to the puddle jumper flight we took from Belize City to Placencia (the town our resort was in). Sheila is all about the details and it shows! We were always welcomed with a note from her and often a snack or drink. It's those little touches that make the difference.
The resort that she found for us in Belize was absolutely gorgeous. It was such a wonderfully relaxing trip, and we were able to relax leading up to it as well, knowing that everything had been taken care of. Sheila kept us informed of any changes to scheduled flight times, and adjusted our itinerary accordingly. When we had an issue with the flight on our way home from Belize, I called Sheila and left a message (after hours), knowing it was a long shot. Not only did she call me back within 10 minutes, she called the airline on our behalf and did her best to come up with alternative solutions for us. Ultimately, it was out of all of our control, but her dedication was impressive nevertheless.
Finally, I have to mention again that Sheila is all about the details. Even when it is outside the parameters of your travel. Every time I emailed with a question (and I had a few), she would respond promptly and without ever making me feel like a bother. She sent us guest passes to the Magic Castle(!!!) with our itinerary for each trip. The Magic Castle is an institution in Southern California and is only accessible to members and their guests. We were unbelievably excited to have this opportunity, courtesy of her thoughtfulness! Sheila also sent us a lovely custom ornament at Christmas to commemorate our Alaskan cruise! I can not emphasize enough how much effort Sheila puts into maintaining relationships with her clients and it makes all of the difference.

Amazing Bucket List Honeymoon in Tahiti
Sheila made our bucket list trip to Tahiti absolutely amazing! It was so nice to have every single detail taken care of- real luxury!
Leaving the honeymoon to Sheila was one of the best decisions I made early on in my wedding planning process. Trust me- you've got so much to plan and take care of, if you want to do a once in a lifetime honeymoon (like we did- Tahiti!) leave it to Sheila. She arranged absolutely everything! Our flights to Tahiti, our excursions, every single transfer (think: dude at the airport with your name on a sign, ready to whisk you away!). Make sure to read all the helpful information she sends- that was our only snafu was a miscommunication that was in the paperwork that I didn't read (facepalm). We had such an incredible trip; the value of what she provided FAR exceeded the cost, and I would highly recommend working with Sheila!

Ireland Anniversary Trip Planned to Perfection
Once again Sheila came through for us big time! My Wife and I have worked with Sheila for our Honeymoon in Italy, our 1st Anniversary in Canada, and we just returned from our 2nd Anniversary trip to Ireland!
Sheila has put in the time and gone to so much of the world herself; she know’s where to go, what to do when you’re there and how long or short you should spend in a given city. Sheila affords us the ability to leave the planning to her. She takes our initial ideas and runs with them. So once we’re there, we can just take everything in and enjoy ourselves.
For as long as she’s doing this, Sheila will be planning our trips! Thanks for all the work you’ve put in for us!

Perfect Mediterranean Pre-Cruise Travel Planning with Sheila
I highly recommend contacting Sheila if you are planning a trip anywhere! We recently went on a Mediterranean cruise and had already booked our flights and cruise when we realized we really didn't know how we were going to get around in Spain or where we should stay. I called Sheila for the first time and she was awesome! She provided options for hotels and private tours based on our budgets and made sure all of our transportation was taken care of. We stayed at the most beautiful hotels and had the best service. She arranged private tours at each port so we could see everything there was to see. She added extras we never would have received on our own. I only wish I had called her earlier and had her book our cruise and flights. She knows all about where you want to go and you can trust her recommendations. We plan on taking another trip to Europe next year and will definitely book everything through Sheila!

Unforgettable Europe Trip Planning with Sheila
**UPDATE 04/19/19**
If you read the review below, you can see that my husband and I had previously used Sheila's services for our honeymoon about three years ago. Her attention to details and ability to catch the essence of what we want/need in our trip were the reasons we decided to use her services again for our Europe trip with my parents.
I contacted Sheila a few months before our estimated time that we wanted to do Europe. We could only vacation for a maximum of two weeks in March because of work, but also wanted to fit in as much as we could. Sheila was on top of her game, listening to everything we wanted, and even recommending some amazing destinations that we didn't even think of. In a span of two weeks, we went from Los Angeles to Amsterdam (our favorite city!), Paris, Munich, Lucerne, Venice, Rome , and everything in between. We listened to every single one of her recommendations, including taking a 1st class train vs coach, and her recommendations made a world of a difference. Sheila was able to make this whirlwind of a trip memorable and amazing, from letting us see a glacier at the top of the snow-capped mountains in Switzerland, to seeing the golden lavishness of the Versailles. Even with our schedule, she made sure to leave time for us to explore on our own.
While my husband and I knew that Sheila is amazing, my parents were blown away by her expertise and helpfulness. Even throughout the whole trip, she was accessible through a handy app that she provided, email, or by phone, which is incredibly reassuring during international trips. We will definitely use her services again for our next international trip! We love you, Sheila, for the headaches you saved and the memories you helped make!
**END UPDATE 04/19/19**
I am so glad I reached out to Sheila in getting our honeymoon booked. I was already stressed out about wedding planning that I figured getting help on the honeymoon front would be useful. Holy moley, was that one of the best decisions of my life. Sheila took care of me from the beginning, listening to all our preferences and giving us so many options. The honeymoon we chose was the best experience of my and my husband's lives, much better than we could have ever hoped for. Our honeymoon was relaxing, action-packed, and amazing all at once. We were completely spoiled at our hotel, our Coba Mayan excursion allowed our adventurous sides to come out, and the Dolphin Discovery allowed the kids in us to have fun! We had nothing to worry about on our trip as Sheila arranged transportation and so many benefits for us! I definitely will be using Sheila again for any anniversary vacations for both me and my husband and for my parents and in-laws. Thank you so much, Sheila!

First-Class Mediterranean Cruise & Travel Planning with Sheila
Sheila was awesome, very detailed and everything she put together was first class. We booked a Mediterranean cruise with stops in Barcelona, Italy and France. She booked our hotels when we decided to spend extra time in Barcelona. They were extremely clean, comfortable and very friendly and helpful. She also booked private tours for our stops in France and Italy. The private tours were first class as well. Sheila will be our go to gal for all of our future travels. Thanks again Sheila!
Plan Your Perfect Sandals Honeymoon in St. Lucia with Sheila
We really enjoyed working with Sheila to plan our honeymoon at sandals in St. Lucia. I met her at a bridal show and could immediately tell she definitely knew her stuff, especially on sandals. Not only did she suggest which resort would best be best for us, but she was also able to work out a combo of two rooms so we could get what we wanted at the price we wanted, and she also was able to find a better price than I was finding online. On top of that she got us some extra perks like a spa credit which was amazing. Everything was great and we felt very prepared for our travels and had an absolute blast on the trip. We would definitely work with Sheila again and recommend her to others.

Experience Stress-Free Anniversary Trips with the Best Travel Expert
Sheila is hands down the best travel expert! She is so very knowledgeable on the climates of the areas you are looking to travel to based on the time of year!!

Sheila even surprised us this Christmas season with a beautiful Christmas tree ornament that was personalized with our 10 year anniversary and our names on it!!!
The Best Honeymoon Travel Agent for a Perfect Tahiti Experience
Sheila was amazing from start to finish. She booked our honeymoon to Tahiti for us. Not only did she do all the work of booking the hotels, excursions, shuttles, and flights for 4 islands, she also added special gifts, before, during, and after our trip. She had excellent suggestions and was very accommodating. She even helped us with using and gaining airline and hotel points. We had a small hiccup at the beginning of the trip where our departing flight was cancelled due to weather and of course that meant we missed the connecting flight and the shuttle from the main island to the first island we were supposed to stay at and our first planned excursion. A quick call to Sheila and she rearranged everything to get us back on track as soon as possible. After the trip she was really receptive to our feedback of little additional things she could do. Without question, Sheila will be our travel agent for life!

The Best Sandals Honeymoon Travel Agent for a Stress-Free Experience
Sheila Cannon was by far the most professional and caring travel agent that I have worked with. She consistently kept up with our busy schedule while planning our wedding, and made planning our honeymoon effortless. One of the best parts about Sheila's service is that she has literally traveled everywhere which allows her to give you first hand advice on what you should sign up for depending on your lifestyle. She got to know us quite effortlessly through some over the phone conversations (which were easy because she is easy to talk to) and was able to give me an idea on which excursions to take while at Sandals in Grenada. We were able to leave Grenada with full satisfaction that we had fully done everything that we wished we had, due to Sheila's guidance.
We started from not even knowing to go out of the country or not, to finding the highest rated Sandals resort to our liking thanks to Sheila. You will not be disappointed!

Stress-Free Honeymoon Planning in Italy: Let Sheila Cannon Handle It All
My now husband did not want me to fuss over the honeymoon since I was doing a bulk of the wedding planning and he was going to be jetting off to his military training for 5 months so he hired Sheila to book and plan our honeymoon for us. What a great idea that was!! We chatted with Sheila about what we liked and didn't like, where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. Based on this, Sheila put together an itinerary for us and a few hotels she had selected for us to stay. After some tweaks based on our input, most everything was taken care of for us - hotels booked, flights booked, tours booked. In the week before the wedding, we received our travel documents and I was NOT expecting to not have to lift a single finger for our honeymoon. She had included the itinerary with the hotel stay, flight information, tour info and meeting place, as well as directions to and from each place! Our trip was in Italy and we were not going to have cell service out there, so having all of those directions ahead of time was SO helpful! Each day I only had to check the itinerary and pull out whatever vouchers or directions we would need for that day. And, given Sheila's connections with various hotels, we received some perks along the way. We will definitely use Sheila to help us book future trips and it was all just so worry-free! Thank you for helping to plan an amazing honeymoon for us!!

Flawless Honeymoon in Italy: Sheila Cannon's Expert Planning
My husband and I were so busy planning our wedding that we didn't have the time or energy to plan our honeymoon in Italy. We are SO glad that we found Sheila to plan EVERYTHING!!!! She took care of the hotels, transportation between cities and travel from the airports. She put everything in an amazing app for our phones. All the ticket vouchers and tour information along with flight details...Sheila didn't miss anything!!!! She even sent us a printed packet in the mail before we left just in case so we had a hard copy. The trip through four cities in Italy was a honeymoon to remember! There was so much care and personalization that went into booking the trip. Sheila had welcome surprises for us when we checked into every hotel. The tour companies were great and the guides were fantastic! So knowledgeable and made our time that much more enjoyable. HIGHLY recommend Sheila not only for a honeymoon booking but if you need guidance to book a big trip. We can't imagine going with a[nother] travel agency now that we know the skill set that Sheila brings. She is so well traveled and is excellent in helping create an itinerary to remember. Thank you Sheila!!!!

Perfect Romantic Vacation: Sheila’s Expert Planning
Sheila took a very consultative approach and planned the perfect honeymoon/one year anniversary for my wife and I. She spent plenty of time up front understanding our personalities and interests and made sure we had a trip that we would both enjoy. Each stop of our trip (Barcelona, Ibiza, Amsterdam) had wonderful activities planned that let us explore the unique settings that each city offered. We were particularly impressed with the hotels that Sheila booked, as they were all top-notch and unique with a boutique touch. Sheila is fantastic to work with and is an absolute pro in providing a first-rate experience for a fun, romantic vacation!

Seamless and Special Greece Anniversary Vacation
Sheila put together an amazing trip to Greece for our 2nd wedding anniversary. My husband had limited time off for this vacation and Sheila gave us great advice on how to divide our time in Greece. After talking to her, we decided on Athens and Santorini. She was accomodating to our budget and also very responsive. She took care of all the reservations (flights, transfers, hotels, tours, etc) and worked out all the details so that our trip would be seamless. This trip was different because we didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was taken care of by Sheila! All the little touches from welcome gifts at each of our stays to the hotel upgrades made this vacation very special for us. Sheila is very knowledgeable and experienced and we would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thank you Sheila!!

Unforgettable 20th Anniversary and Family Trip Planning with Sheila
Sheila was exceptional in planning our 20th wedding anniversary trip to St. Lucia! Her personal visits to properties, like the Sandals Grande St. Lucian, made all the difference. While the overwater bungalow wasn't as far out into the ocean as I had hoped—bringing to mind my past stay at Le Meridien in Bora Bora—the bungalow itself was fabulous.
Sheila's recommendations extended beyond St. Lucia. She also provided valuable guidance for a recent trip to Paris with my teenager. All three butlers at the Grande St. Lucian were attentive and resourceful, making our stay incredibly enjoyable. We spent most of our time relaxing in the bungalow, and the flights and luxury transport options—Lexus to the resort and a BMW back to the airport—were top-notch.
The staff at the resort were very friendly, and despite the lack of a direct flight, our trip was wonderful. I’ve shared photos on Facebook and will definitely recommend Sheila for travel planning. Thank you, Sheila!
Stress-Free and Perfect Sandals Montego Bay Honeymoon
Booking our honeymoon with Shelia was one of the smartest things we did through the wedding process. She asked for our budget and interests and from there gave us 3-5 recommendations of places she thought would work best for (since we were clueless!). We ended up at Sandals Montego Bay- which was absolutely perfect for us! Shelia nailed it and the resort gave us everything we were after (endless amount of food, drinks, and lounging on the beach). We literally didn't have to worry about one thing the entire trip or leading up to it. She arranged our flights, notified us of any flight changes, gave us a list of things we should pack, and even access to a personalized App with all of our confirmation numbers (hotel, shuttles, flights, etc.) for the whole trip. I cannot recommend Shelia's services enough!!

Unforgettable Bora Bora Honeymoon with Sheila Cannon
Sheila Cannon was the sweetest and we loved that she was the one who was helping us book our honeymoon to Bora Bora. She was so professional and organized, that we didn’t have to worry about a thing! She booked our flights, transportations, meals and tour and everything went smoothly. One night on our honeymoon, we were on the deck of our overwater bungalow and thought about how it was so worth it working with Sheila. We had such an amazing and memorable trip that we will cherish forever. We can’t thank her enough for all her help and we definitely look forward to working with her for future trips! It truly was a “carefree romantic vacation” and definitely a dream come true! Thank you so much again Sheila!

A Spectacular 40th Anniversary African Safari
OMG. Sheila organized THE BEST 40th Anniversary trip…an African Safari! We did South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia. About 4 days in each place. Land and water safaris. Exhilarating. We saw the big 5 several times over. Amazing. She let everyone know about our anniversary and EVERYONE made it so special for us. We truly don’t know how we will ever top this one!
An Unforgettable 40th Birthday in Paris and Rome
Sheila once again came through for me. I took a chance and had her plan my Hawaii Honeymoon in 2014 after meeting her at a bridal show. My husband and I were not disappointed. So it came as no surprise that I asked her to plan my 40th b-day trip to Paris & Rome.
She once again made it amazing! I gave her my budget and my list of things that I wanted to do and she made it happen. She was even kind enough to let me know that it would be pointless for me to book/pay for some tours when I could do them on my own. The effortless way she sets up the tours and has the vouchers ready to go is the best. All you have to do is wake up and be ready to explore!
She even booked and took care of my Disney Paris Trip!!! Then it so happened that I ended up loving going to Rome a lot more after the tours she booked for us. My husband was over the moon when he was able to go into the Colosseum and visit the underground!
Her expertise definitely made my 40th birthday trip amazing! Sheila will always be my agent for any/all future trips!
Stress-Free Bora Bora Honeymoon Planning with Sheila
This was the first time we've book with a travel agent, and it was the best experience anyone could ask for. Sheila is by far amazing, professional, and thorough, and has great suggestions. She helped us plan our honeymoon in Bora Bora. She made it so easy and stress free that we didn't even have to think about it, until we packed the day after our wedding. She helped us book everything from our airline travel from LAX to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora, and all of our transfers by ferry, and boat to and from hotels. She gave us great suggestions on excursions to do, tips for meals. She was very knowledgeable about all the details regarding our honeymoon trip. She helped us alter our trip itinerary so that our trip wouldn't break the bank (example: no over water bungalow, instead a private pool in Moorea, then we went all out in Bora Bora, what excursions provided big meals so that we wouldn't go hungry or save some $$ on lunch, little things like that). Her response time is quick, and she is available via email or phone, and we even had a little travel app while we were on our honeymoon. She truly caters your honeymoon trip to what you both want, and what you both worked so hard for! The little sweet surprises that we walked into like our personal "love quote", little gifts from the hotel, bottles of champagne! All of that truly made you feel like royalty and special!
We never thought we'd be able to make Bora Bora possible, but Sheila made it happen. We enjoyed every minute of it! To this day, It still feels surreal. Definitely will recommend to our family and friends! A job well done!

Celebrate Your Anniversary with the Perfect Trip, Planned by Sheila
After several years of discussing the possibility of traveling outside of the United States with Sheila my wife and I decided to book a trip with her for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Sheila showed us several locations and we decided on the east coast of Mexico. After discussing with her about our wish list and concerns she found us the El Dorado Casitas Royal resort outside of Cancun. It was the perfect fit for us. We asked for a romantic and quiet location and we couldn't of been more happy with resort. We can't wait to book our next trip with Sheila.
Experience the Ultimate Mediterranean Family Cruise, Perfectly Planned by Sheila
This past summer, our family went on the trip of a lifetime which included a 12-night Mediterranean cruise and stops at some awesome ports.
I reached out to Sheila almost a year in advance to start the planning. She was on top of every part of the planning which included choosing a cruise, travel to Barcelona and back, tours, and travel tips.
The trip went off without a hitch and will be remembered by everyone forever. Sheila pays attention to detail and makes sure everything goes according to plan.

Experience the Perfect Honeymoon with Carefree Romantic Vacations
I cannot stress enough what a wonderful choice we made in booking our honeymoon with Sheila! I was recommended to use Sheila and her travel services from my cousin who was married two years ago and booked a wonderful honeymoon to Costa Rica! I went to a bridal show and met Sheila and my husband and I decided to use her as our agent. We both have never used a travel agent before but she was wonderful! We had a phone consultation and talked about the possibilities within our budget and Sheila was able to open our eyes to new honeymoon options that we were able to afford. After our phone consultation we were ready to go to Jamaica!
Sheila was wonderful in booking our stay-we did not have to do anything! Sheila was very kind and professional throughout the booking process and very respectful towards what my husband and I wanted in a honeymoon. ed via email with me from her own vacation in South Africa and was still able to provide top notch service.
Up to the last moment she was communicating with us about flights via her app as well as through phone calls and text messages. She made sure that all plans fell into place for our honeymoon.
Our honeymoon resort was so wonderful and from the beginning Sheila communicated with the resort (for example sending our wedding invite) to make our stay special and give us special honeymoon amenities. She set us up with the most relaxing and romantic trip and we are so grateful for her hard work. From our arrival at the airport to stepping on the flight home we did not run into any obstacles, we were set up from the beginning and Sheila had everything ready for us.
Sheila provided a wonderful service and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future! I highly recommend her services as she goes above and beyond to make you feel special on your honeymoon. We felt heard when it came to what we wanted in a honeymoon, respected in what we could afford and lucky to have had her as our agent. Once again Sheila did a wonderful job and she has such passion for her work and making couples feel special on their honeymoon.

Perfect Custom Honeymoon to Greece and Italy with Carefree Romantic Vacations
My wife and I tried planning our own honeymoon trip to Greece and Italy and quickly ran into obstacles with getting from one point to the other and decided to hire a professional. We didn't know who to go to so we went to a big well known travel agency and after going back and forth with them we realized the person trying to set up our vacation was not someone experienced to do so due to them not being well traveled themselves. We found Sheila and spoke over the phone and then went In person to her office where we felt very comfortable with her and her experience so we gave her a shot and hands down best decision we could have made. She put together a custom trip for my wife and I and everything was taken care of. We didn't have to worry about who was picking us up where and how to do what...EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN CARE OF! Sheila has a very reasonable fee and worth every single penny and more! Thank you so much Sheila!

Enjoy a Seamless Alaska Adventure with Carefree Romantic Vacations
We have booked several vacations with Carefree Romantic Vacations in the past. Never been disappointed. Sheila goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. That's why she has so many satisfied return customers. She arranged a trip for us to Alaska this year (not a cruise), but land trip with car through the Kenai peninsula. Absolutely amazing! Even when we had a little snag with one of our hotels, she arranged a re-book with another hotel right over the phone within minutes. She's always available and responds immediately and always comes up with an agreeable solution. This takes sooo much stress out of your travel when you know she's only a phone call away, or, as with her new travel app, which every client has access to, only a text in real time. She is totally devoted to making sure everything goes smoothly with your travels. I highly recommend using Sheila as your next travel agent, you will be in good hands. You will literally just drive to the airport and, then, leave all your worries behind, knowing that she took care of everything else!

Perfect Honeymoon Planning: Tahiti, Bora Bora & Moorea
I met Sheila last year, shortly after getting engaged. I didn't really think I would need to use a travel agent for our honeymoon, but I saved her information nonetheless. In the midst of trying to plan a wedding and a Honeymoon, I realized it was too much and also realized I wanted the honeymoon to be PERFECT. I contacted Sheila and from our first conversation I knew that she was the one to give us that PERFECT honeymoon. Not only is Sheila fabulous at what she does but she has first hand insight on our honeymoon destination (Tahiti, Bora Bora & Moorea). I gave Sheila our budget and my vision for the trip of a lifetime and she made it happen. From the moment we received our travel documents, you could tell the care that went into making us feel special. She even had a gift waiting for us when we arrived at our resort and made her self available at all times through her special app. We were able to send messages if we had any questions. Sheila even checked in on us from time to time to make sure everything was ok and that we were having a great time. It makes all the difference in the world being thousands of miles away from home knowing that someone is available and is looking out for you. Next to the wedding our honeymoon was the best time of our lives and a vacation we'll remember forever! Thank you Sheila-xoxo

Sheila is great. She works hard to make sure exactly what you want is going to be achieved. She puts together a great trip and has thoughtful notes along the way.
Perfect Honeymoon Planning: A Journey to Perfection with Sheila
Sheila called us and grasped our idea of a "perfect honeymoon". We received our itinerary in less than a week! Every detail, I mean every single detail, was planned to perfection. We had some days with lots of flexibility for our own planning and some days planned for us, like our personal limo to take us to all of the wineries in Temecula. Our honeymoon was no less than perfect and I will have no hesitation in using Sheila again for our future travel plans.

Best Honeymoon Ever: Sheila’s Expert Planning and Outstanding Service
Sheila is amazing to work with! She really planned the best honeymoon ever for my husband and I. From the beginning portion of the process about asking about what we wanted for our honeymoon, she was there. She has great communication skills and whenever we emailed or called, she would reply so soon. She made sure that what we both wanted for the trip was what we received. She would send us drafts of our itinerary and we would send it back with corrections. Eventually, she created the perfect itinerary for us. She sent us all the documents a week before our departure and it was all so organized. During our honeymoon, if we had questions, we would email her or call her and she would get back to us via the hotel immediately. My husband and I will surely avail of her services again. She was amazing and thankful we choose her to help plan our honeymoon. Thank you Sheila!

Exclusive Travel Experiences: Sheila’s Special Touch on Our 30-Day European Tour
Sheila is great!!! We have used her many times and have never been disappointed. We booked a 30 day in-depth tour of Europe through Carefree Romantic Vacations. It was a fantastic trip and Sheila made it even more special with the extra things she arranged for us.
She upgraded the majority of our hotel rooms to 1 and/or 2 room suites with beautiful views. She also arranged for fruit baskets/beverages to be delivered to our rooms and left little notes for us. Other people on our tour were jealous with our special treatment. Even the tour director noticed and asked how we got the upgrades. It was so funny.
Our last two nights were in Paris. She arranged for us to be in a business suite with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. The manager of the hotel made a personal visit to our room and welcomed us. He said that he had received a call from Carefree Romantic Vacations requesting that we were treated as special guests. The manager then took us to the VIP lounge and we had wine on the house. Fantastic!!!
We will continue to use Sheila and encourage others to do the same if you want a SPECIAL Romantic Trip.

Incredible Honeymoon Planning: Sheila’s Seamless Service and Phenomenal Experiences
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelia or the incredible honeymoon she planned for my husband and myself. After planning a wedding I knew I was "planned out" and wanted some help to plan the honeymoon my husband and I dreamed about. Shelia responded to our inquiry very quickly and we immediately clicked when we spoke on the phone. After getting a good idea of what we wanted, Sheila went to work and she hit home run after home run!! Our honeymoon involved traveling around and everything went seamlessly. We traveled from Rome to Florence to Venice, back to Florence and Rome and then onto Santorini and Athens. The hotels and tours she booked were phenomenal and the service we experienced was top notch! Shelia was available whenever we had a question or just wanted to provide feedback to her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book an amazing vacation, you won't regret it! I know we will definitely be using her again!!! Thank you Sheila!!! You're the best!!!!!

Expert Travel Planning: Sheila’s Unmatched Service for an Unforgettable Jamaica Experience
I very rarely, if ever write reviews, however Sheila at Carefree Romantic Vacations deserves a ton of praise. I had never gone through a travel agent before, but i’m so glad we did. She saved us countless hours of work/effort and brought an expertise that made everything so simple for us. We told her what we wanted and she made it happen. We originally selected the Bahamas, but due to some unforeseen circumstances with the hotel, the resort was closed during our intended stay. Normally this would be terrible, however Sheila not only called us immediately, but she found us a new, better resort in Jamaica as well as a few free nights stay at any Sandals this year due to the inconvenience. My wife has celiacs so food was a big issue for us. Everything was taken care of. The minute we arrived they they took us to the head chef and totally accommodated all of her food needs. The trip was a blast; romantic, adventurous, exciting. Hiking, boating, dancing, drinking, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, everything we wanted. I’m in the military so I like everything to be organized and planned out and Sheila had everything arranged. Thanks Sheila for making it happen!!
Personalized Honeymoon Planning: Sheila’s Exceptional Service for an Unforgettable Puerto Vallarta Experience
Book with Sheila. Just do it. My brother and his wife booked with her and had a great time. I booked with her based on his recommendation and my wife and I had the BEST TIME EVER. Everything was taken care of and it was the most relaxing week of my life. Here is my more in depth review: My wife Megan and I had an unreal time in Puerto Vallarta. We stayed at the Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, which I cannot recommend highly enough. The entire staff was amazing and we were treated so well! Be sure to say HI! to Vicente, one of the awesome bartenders there, who works his tail off to bend over backward to help you out! Also, check out the big iguanas over near the south side of the resort. You can feed them fruit or flowers and they are super friendly. Another awesome part of the resort were the baby rays that were swimming in the water. You can swim with them in the mornings if you're fast enough, or you can just watch them from your room. Sheila booked everything from our travel and hotel, to our massage package and our unbelievable ziplining tour that I can't recommend high enough. If you get a chance, it's a can't miss day of fun. Megan and I will 100% be booking travel with Sheila in the future, as she took the time out to personalize our trip. She even sent us a little goodie basket to congratulate us on the wedding and upcoming honeymoon. Don't make the mistake of trying to do this all yourself, Sheila is affordable and worth the money.
Stress-Free Honeymoon Planning: How Sheila Makes Your Trip Smooth and Enjoyable
Working with Shelia was a great experience.

Stress-Free Honeymoon Booking: How Sheila Takes the Stress Out of Your Trip
Sheila was a huge help to my husband and I while trying to book a honeymoon. We went back and forth for some time trying to determine if we wanted to go away right after our wedding or wait until next year to do a trip. About 3 weeks before our wedding we decided we were just going to go for it after the wedding. We reached out to Sheila who was more than willing to help even though we did not have a lot of time beforehand. She gave us great recommendations and took care of everything! We didn't have to worry about our flights or the room through the Sandals resort. Everything went very smoothly and we didn't have to do much at all. It was worth booking through her because it took the stress off of us and allowed us to focus on our wedding! Highly recommend!!
Unforgettable 40th Anniversary: European River Cruise Planned by Sheila
Sheila made our 40th anniversary unforgettable! We called her the last-minute & she had us booked on everything and ready to go on a spectacular European River cruise the next day. She met with us beforehand to get acquainted with our expectations, likes & dislikes, and planned accordingly. She was spot-on in every way because we had such a lovely time. She was pleasant, patient with all our questions, and we would highly recommend her.
Planning a Perfect Destination Wedding in Mexico with Sheila
When my husband and I decided we wanted to get married in Mexico I began looking at hotels and immediately felt completely overwhelmed. I had no idea how to start and had so many questions about the process of a destination wedding. My aunt knew Sheila and told me maybe she could help with planning a wedding from afar. I was instantly so impressed with her professionalism and kindness. Sheila asked for our budget, desired location, estimated number of guests and what we had in mind for a wedding. She promptly sent me a chart with three different resort names, available wedding dates, cost and specifics. This allowed me and my husband to sit and easily choose a resort. Sheila handled communication with the resort wedding coordinator, was on conference calls with the on-site coordinator and myself and most importantly booked travel and activities for all of our guests. She had communication with our friends and family and helped coordinate all of their specific travel needs. Sheila listened to what was important to us and made sure it all came together. Our wedding was so special and I appreciate Sheila helping make that happen. I can not imagine planning our wedding without Sheila and I highly recommend her as a destination wedding coordinator and travel agent!

Stress-Free and Adventurous Honeymoon in Bali with Sheila
"Sheila was amazing! When you are going to a foreign country and have know clue what to look for, where to look, she is the best! My husband and I wanted and adventurous honeymoon in Bali (with some relaxation of course) and Sheila gave us exactly that. We stayed at the most beautiful, unique hotels with gorgeous views...a must have on my list! We went white-water rafting, on an elephant safari, bicycle riding through a Balinese village, my husband went surfing, swimming with dolphins, and we took a boat out to a giant pontoon in the middle of the ocean where we could snorkel, scuba, ride banana boats, mini submarine, & water slide. Sheila also booked all our flights, breakfast was included everyday, in addition to some Honeymoon specials. She also gifted us a romantic beach dinner, which was AMAZING! Finally, Sheila booked us a tour guide who picked us up at the airport, did our transfers between hotels...where he gave his knowledge of Bali and took us to different villages to explore...and drop off back at the airport. We would absolutely use Carefree Romantic Vacations and Sheila again! It made our honeymoon stress free and fun!"

Stress-Free Honeymoon Planning with Sheila Cannon
Sheila was very helpful! I met her at a Bridal Show in Riverside. Once I reached out to her, she contacted me immediately to set something up. Working with her, put my mind at ease for our honeymoon. Prior to our departure, everything flowed so smoothe. i.e. the check-in for our flights, going through customs, checking in at the resorts. All the details were beautiful. The room was right on the water just as I had requested. Also, the resort was perfect for our first vacation together as husband and wife out of the country. I highly recommend Sheila to anyone looking for a vacation arranged for them with all of their boxes checked.

Unforgettable Costa Rica Adventure Honeymoon by Sheila Cannon
My husband and I wanted an adventurous honeymoon in Costa Rica, but had no idea where to begin with planning it. A friend of mine, who had her destination wedding planned by Sheila, recommended Carefree Romantic Vacations to us for help with planning our honeymoon.
From our first consultation with Sheila, we were so impressed. Sheila was polite, attentive, and thorough. She asked us questions about ourselves and our likes and dislikes, and listened to all of our requests, budget details, and other hopes for the honeymoon. She promptly e-mailed us with a tentative schedule of places to stay and events to attend that we were thrilled with. She even helped us plan our trip to Florida that we were taking beforehand for Chris's (the husband's 😉 ) graduation, and booked our rental car and everything, even though that wasn't technically part of the honeymoon. We were so thankful!
Sheila hit the nail on the head. Our trip was full of adventures like night hiking, sightseeing, ziplining, snorkling, rainforest tours, a romantic sunset cruise, and so much more! At first we wanted to go bare minimum on the hotels, but Sheila recommended some nicer places to us, and in the end we were so glad she did! We both agreed that the amazing hotels she found for us really made the trip, and it wouldn't have been the same without those important details that she attended to.
Our trip could not have been half of what it was if we had plan it ourselves. We highly recommend Sheila and Carefree Romantic Vacations to everyone, whether you think you need help planning your vacation or not! Her pricing is so affordable, you really can't afford not to use her for mapping out your dream vacation. It is so worth it! Thank you, Sheila!

Memorable Family Trip to Salzburg Planned by Sheila Cannon
I discovered Sheila after reading the many positive reviews on Yelp. She responded immediately to my inquiry on her site and facilitated the bookings for our last minute trip to Salzburg. She was attentive to any concerns and negotiated matching prices with online sites. We were greeted after a long flight with an upgraded room, personalized note from Sheila and the hotel, along with a fruit tray. To have her as a contact was reassuring as we were traveling during a Lufthansa pilot strike. All went well, and we will use Sheila for future travel adventures.
Seamless Honeymoon Planning with Upgraded Suite by Sheila
Sheila is nothing less than fantastic! We put in an inquiry on her site and she was really quick to respond! She called us right away and asked us what we wanted in our honeymoon. She really was so helpful! With all the stress from wedding planning, we really didn't have the extra time to plan an amazing honeymoon! Sheila had that covered!
From transportation to accommodations to excursions she booked everything. She had knowledge of excursions to take, and also ones that weren't so popular. She answered every question without us feeling like she was bothered. When we got to the hotel, we found out our room had been upgraded to a beautiful suite with a tub out on the balcony! It was more than we ever dreamed possible!
Her prices are very fair for all the work she does. We rebooked and will definitely transfer and reservations for Sheila to take care of again!

Perfect All-Inclusive Honeymoon Deals in Cabo San Jose
I booked my honeymoon vacation with Sheila and she was great! She found us a great deal within our budget in Cabo San Jose. It was all inclusive so we had a great time eating and drinking. Payment was flexible, we had the freedom to pay as much or as little as we wanted at any given time. Sheila was also great with communicating even when she was out of the country. She made sure we were taken care of and called to check-in the day of our flight. I would definitely be booking with her again and referring friends who wish to have a carefree romantic getaway.
A Perfect Hassle-Free Vacation with Sheila's Expertise
This is the second trip that I have booked with Sheila, and nothing, but PERFECT describes the experience! A friend of mine and I utilized Sheila for our girls trip. Having come from professions and lives, which call for having to make all the arrangements for everything in our lives, when I wanted to book the perfect vacation, hassle free and with TOTAL confidence that someone could advocate on our behalf if necessary, I knew that Sheila would be THE ONE. First, the service is excellent. Sheila is very willing and flexible to communicate with you ON ANY DAY, in ANY fashion. We sent text, made phone calls and emails to her, depending on what was at our disposal on any given day. Her communication with us was professional, knowledgeable and spot on. I chose Sheila because of her attention to detail, professionalism, kindness and travel knowledge. She takes the time to ask questions about you personally and get to know what it is that you're looking for. I appreciate that she also makes recommendations suitable to the needs you're asking for. If you don't know what you're looking for, IT IS OKAY, she will help you figure it out. If you don't know where to go, IT IS OKAY, she will make recommendations consistent with your personality and your wants. Using Sheila meant that I did not have to bother with making phone calls, waiting on endless hold to make reservations, and having someone to take care of you; everything was EASY. Oh....the Magic Castle ticket is a little very special extra treat that you get with the booking.
Seriously, I am very type A and extremely selective and detail oriented, on both occasions that I have booked with Sheila, I have not been disappointed. My vacation was nothing less than perfect.
Your Perfect Vacation with a Sandals Expert
Sheila was awesome to work with and extremely knowledgeable about Sandals. She is always available and willing to answer questions at any point in the process...any time of day. We highly recommend her.
Amazing Secrets Vallarta Bay Vacation by Carefree Romantic Vacations
Sheila planned an amazing vacation for my husband and me, also for my brother and his girlfriend! We provided a pretty detailed list of criteria for our trip (budget, spa amenities, number of restaurants, etc.), and she provided a list of resorts that matched our criteria perfectly! After we selected a resort, she recommended a number of excursions and activities, and was able to provide personal insight into the resort itself and the surrounding area. Sheila and her assistant, Marion, went above and beyond by arranging for special surprises upon our arrival at the resort and throughout our stay there. Sheila stayed in touch throughout the planning process and checked in after the trip to ensure we had a great time. We definitely recommend Sheila and Carefree Romantic Vacations and definitely plan to use her services again!

Sheila spent a ton of time getting to know us and asked questions we never would have thought to ask ourselves. This led to a perfectly planned trip, completely carefree.

The entire vacation from start to finish was beyond my expectations. When the honeymoon was first booked Sheila took care of everything. All we had to do was pack and show up.

Stress-Free Honeymoon in Italy: Sheila’s Expert Planning
My husband and I went to Italy for our honeymoon. We were so fortunate to have booked our trip through Sheila. Neither of us had been out of the country ever so we both had some anxiety leading into the trip. From the moment we arrived to the airport everything was taking care of and everything ran smoothly. Sheila had everything planned so well and the itinerary so clear that we were able to navigate in Italy without issue. We had an amazing time and can't wait to book our anniversary trip. Thank you Sheila for making our trip so memorable and carefree!!

Sheila Cannon from Carefree Romantic Vacations provided exceptional service to coordinate our San Jose del Cabo destination wedding an honeymoon! If you are planning a destination wedding or honeymoon, I strongly recommend you use a travel agent, and that Sheila Cannon with Carefree Romantic Vacations is that travel agent. Your guests will have a knowledgable point of contact, you have someone who knows the right questions to ask and will make your wedding as stress free and enjoyable as possible. My wedding was truly magical and I am so thankful to Sheila for helping make it a reality! I am a full time PhD student and my husband works full time, we live across the country from where we grew up and our families are also spread out throughout the US. So, we decided if we were going to fly it would be somewhere new and fun! Sheila helped us pick a venue, she compiled information on all the wedding packages of the all-inclusive resorts that met our criteria and made it an affordable, stress-free experience for me to plan my dream wedding. Our original venue had to close due to the hurricane and in days of finding that out, Sheila had several other venue choices for us ready to go and we ended up loving our new venue, couldn't have imagined it anywhere else. She contacted and helped each person who had already reserved rooms at the old venue and helped easily change their reservations to the new one. She handled nearly all the travel for our ~40 guests (air, hotel and transfer bt the two) and made sure everyone got the most affordable and convenient flights. The wedding day, weekend and honeymoon were fantastic. I highly recommend her services, and we plan to use Sheila again for future travel!
Flawlessly Coordinated 20th Wedding Anniversary Trip to Cabo
Sheila Cannon arranged for a wonderful 20th Wedding Anniversary trip for my husband and I at the Riu Palace in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We had no flexibility with our available dates since I am a wedding planner, and had to work around my wedding schedule. She was able to find flights and a resort for us on the specific dates & times we wanted which were a little tricky considering it was also spring break for many travelers. She perfectly coordinated a schedule that worked for us! A woman after my own heart! 🙂 I had referred Sheila to my clients and friends prior to using her myself, and I was thrilled with how easy she made everything! I was so happy to experience all of the wonderful things I have heard about Sheila for myself. I can't wait to have an opportunity to travel again, and without a doubt, she will be the first to know!
Perfectly Planned 10-Year Anniversary Vow Renewal in Jamaica
Sheila and her team are amazing. I met her a few years ago at a business meeting. She gave me her card but at that time I was not thinking of planning a vacation. We have always made our own reservations whenever we traveled. We crossed paths again last year, it had been over four years since we had spoken. We attended one of her meetings she was having and we were very impressed. Our 10 year anniversary was coming up and we decided to talk to her about the details. We are so very glad we did. We wanted to renew our vows. She covered every detail, including the parking of our vehicle while we were on our trip. We find her, and those that represent her to be honest and dependable. She was always easy to reach and responded to all of our questions within hours. I truly don’t know how she gets it all done. We are so so glad that we booked our trip with her to Jamaica. There were no surprises. Everything was as she said it was going to be. It was an amazing time, and a magical experience. We renewed our vows while we were there in Jamaica, which was done with impeccable taste. We loved everything and the services that Sheila planned for us, was beyond what we expected. I am also especially glad that we listened to her about having a butler. While there, they made everything very easy for us. They booked our dinner reservations, all we had to do was show up, they made sure that my food preferences were considered (I am vegetarian) it was so very hot and humid there, it was nice to be picked up after every meal and be taken to our next activity of the day. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, so much so that when we returned we booked another vacation with her. We are going to St. Lucia the next time. I would recommend Romantic Vacations if you are looking for a worry free, stress free, relaxing vacation.

Romantic Adventures on the Danube River with Sheila’s Expertise

Sheila,
Thank you Thank you Thank you! You have helped my wife and I have a three wonderful romantic adventures together.
Our last cruise down the Danube River was fantastic! Without your help we would have never been able to afford it. You saved us thousands of dollars. You’ve saved us lots and lots of money on all of our cruises.
Laurie and I have now contacted you for three cruises. You make the process so simple for us. I love that you get back to us so quickly when we have a question. It is such a complicated process to go on these cruises; picking the right cruise line, airfare, and hotel accommodations.
It is so neat that we can just give you a general idea of what we want and you come back to us with lots of recommendations. Even when the trip is complicated you take care of us. On the Danube River cruise we went with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law it was complicated because we live on the west coast and they live on the east coast. You figured out for us how to all meet and travel together. We then had to keep changing the dates that we could leave and you were so sweet to keep making the new arrangements for us. You are simply the best!
My wife and I are both 56 and lead very busy lives. Knowing that we have you on our side makes the trip worry free for us. Your knowledge of travel is outstanding. You save us a huge amount of time and hassle.
I recommend you to other couples all the time that want to have a fun, romantic trip together. Feel free to use me as a referral to any of your potential clients.
Sincerely,
Terry & Laurie
Seamless Jamaica Honeymoon at Sandals Negril with Sheila’s Help
My wife and I wanted to go to Jamaica for our honeymoon. We didn’t know what resort we wanted or what part of the island, just that we wanted to go to Jamaica. We met Shelia at a bridal show in Costa Mesa and started to talk with her. The first thing I noticed immediately was that she wasn’t pushy or trying to sell us anything. Being a guy, the bridal show was already unbearable, but constantly being pushed to buy trivial stuff that you don’t need gets tiring to say the least. We spoke with her for about 15 minutes and she gave us some literature to take home and read. We probably spoke a few more times over the phone and finally narrowed down what resort we wanted based on Shelia’s recommendation. Once we put the deposit Sheila did everything. She did a great job booking flights and hotel accommodations. Our trip was planed out seven months in advance and from time to time she would check in with us for any changes and give us status updates. In addition every so often little gifts would show up in the mail; what a great touch. When the time came to finally take our trip we arrived at the resort only to find out that the accommodations that we had booked were not available. To say we were disappointed was a understatement. Once we were checked into our room (which was not the room we booked) I contacted Sheila just as she said to do in the event something was wrong. She was immediately available and started working the problem right away. She was able to help resolve our issues and kept us informed the entire time. In the end with Sheila’s help my wife and I were able to come to a resolution with the resort that worked for everybody. My wife and I will be returning to Jamaica in December and already have Sheila working on that for us. As a small business owner myself, I believe in the power of repeat business and referrals. The only way to generate either one of these with all other factors being equal is to offer the best customer service possible. Shelia does that and more. Thank You Sheila, Maureen and I look forward to working with you again.

I am so glad I reached out to Sheila in getting our honeymoon booked. I was already stressed out about wedding planning that I figured getting help on the honeymoon front would be useful. Holy moley, was that one of the best decisions of my life. Sheila took care of me from the beginning, listening to all our preferences and giving us so many options. The honeymoon we chose was the best experience of my and my husband's lives, much better than we could have ever hoped for. Our honeymoon was relaxing, action-packed, and amazing all at once. We were completely spoiled at our hotel, our Coba Mayan excursion allowed our adventurous sides to come out, and the Dolphin Discovery allowed the kids in us to have fun! We had nothing to worry about on our trip as Sheila arranged transportation and so many benefits for us! I definitely will be using Sheila again for any anniversary vacations for both me and my husband and for my parents and in-laws. Thank you so much, Sheila!
Honeymoon in Costa Rica – Perfectly Planned by Sheila
Sheila was absolutely amazing! Her response time was almost immediate and she really took the time to get to know you and what you were looking for in order to put together the perfect package for you and had no problem changing little details after the trip was already set. She was really very accommodating to anything we wanted and was still able to keep everything within the budget we decided on. I personally never would have thought to use a travel agent before, I would have thought that I could out everything together myself for a cheaper cost. But after working with Sheila, I realize that I was totally wrong. Her prices are not very much to begin with but the work she does completely pays for itself. Every now and then I would get an email from her saying hey I have a good relationship with these people so I was able to take off an extra $100 or something like that. This actually happened a few times in varying amounts and the the amount taken off was way more than her fees and something I wouldn't have been able to do had I booked everything on my own. Then there were all of the little extra surprises when we actually arrived. I know she wouldn't want me to give anything away but let me just assure your honeymoon will be much more enjoyable because of Sheila! I have nothing bad to say about her service. She is just wonderful!
Mother-Daughter Adventure to Antarctica & South America Planned by Sheila
My daughter and I wanted to travel to South America and thought, since we were going to be all the way in Argentina and Chile, we also wanted to see Antarctica. I searched around looking for ways to various places in So. America, but also actually go to Antarctica, not just cruise by it (and couldn't figure it out). I called Sheila (Redlands travel agent), told her what we wanted to do and how much money we could spend and she made it all happen. She covers every little detail, thinks of everything, things I would not have thought about until I was there. We went to Buenos Aires, Argentina; Monteviedo, Uraguay; Falkland Islands, Punta Arenas, Chile, Ushuaia, Argentina; Cape Horn, several spots on Antarctica and Santiago, Chile. With this trip my daughter has been to every continent of the world. So if you want someone who has knowledge of many different places, and types of itineraries, give Sheila a call. She can arrange your dream vacation.
Sheila thanks for our trip of a lifetime!!!
Stress-Free Sandals Ochi Jamaica Honeymoon Planned by Sheila
Sheila did a great job from beginning to end. She had our budget and was able to book us a Sandals resort in Jamaica. She was organized in all the planning leading up to us leaving, making sure we had our itinerary and documents ready to go. One we arrived we had no issues with any of the things she booked for us. She made sure our honeymoon was extra special by leaving little things here and there in our room...like champagne, roses, etc. She was easy to reach when needed and made sure we had a great time when we came home. If you don't want to stress about planning your honeymoon, book her!
Wendy & Mario's Perfect Viking River Cruise on the Danube
Sheila,
Thank you for a "perfectly" planned cruise! We had a magnificent trip. The Viking was everything you said it would be, and then some. I have shared your business card with my Aunt.
Our sincere appreciation for everything!
Sincerely,
Wendy & Mario
Briana & Harrison's Honeymoon in Costa Rica & Dominican Republic
Sheila providing outstanding travel planning and assistance from the first day we contacted her to after we had returned from our honeymoon. Sheila begins her service by having the couple take a quiz with questions on how they envision their honeymoon. As my husband and I had soooo many places we wanted to visit, this quiz really helped Sheila narrow down the options and make recommendations based on our desires. Once we hired her, Sheila booked everything from our flights and accommodations to our excursions and airport/hotel transfers. She secured us first class flights at little extra cost, booked us amazing accommodations that exceeded our dreams, and made sure to find reputable companies for all of our other activities. Once we arrived on our honeymoon, Sheila had put in a good word for us with the staff and we were provided complimentary champagne and extra perks at every resort. Sheila continued to work on our behalf even after we returned from our honeymoon when she helped us gain refunds for some excursions we were not able to complete. In total, Sheila's service exceeded our expectations and was well worth the small booking fee that she charged. She designed the honeymoon of a lifetime for us and we will cherish our memories forever.

Lyle & Wendy's Belated Honeymoon at Sandals Regency La Toc, St. Lucia
My wife and I have very busy lifestyles and were afraid that we would never take the time to book our honeymoon. After searching around for local travel agents, we stumbled across the yelp page for Carefree Romantic Vacations and scheduled an appointment. Sheila had several suggestions for us upon arrival. She also had a sand collection from all the beach resorts she suggested. Ultimately we found the perfect resort that was within our budget. All questions we had were answered in a timely fashion and our honeymoon couldn't have been better. If you need help planning your next vacation of any kind, go see Sheila.
Victoria & Dave’s 10-Year Anniversary at El Dorado Casitas Royale
Sheila Cannon is the BEST travel agent in the UNIVERSE!!!! She helped us with our 10 year anniversary trip. We were all set to go to Cozumel, Mexico and a week before we were due to leave, the hotel informed us that we wouldn't be able to have the room that we booked and 1/3 of the resort was going to be under construction! I was LITERALLY in tears thinking our 10 year anniversary was ruined. Sheila worked all day and night, on a weekend, while she was out of town at a convention.....she came back to her room at night and worked on our trip for us until she found us a better deal at a much nicer resort. She rearranged our flights, our hotel and our excursions. By the next day it was all booked and she had gotten our money refunded from the original resort. She is absolutely AMAZING!!! She truly cares that your romantic vacation is PERFECT!! Because of Sheila's hard work, our 10 year Anniversary trip went off without a hitch and was OVER-THE-TOP-AMAZING!!! If you want a travel agent that will work night and day to make your honeymoon or vacation absolutely perfect, then you need to work with Sheila Cannon!!
Becky & Mike’s Honeymoon at Sandals Grande St. Lucian
My husband and I wanted to do Sandals for our honeymoon and we had already done a ton of research when we met Sheila at a bridal bazaar. She was very helpful and always responded to our questions and emails promptly. She set up a few added perks for us that we either would not have known to ask for or simply wouldn't have received if it weren't for her. Our trip was amazing and all the details were taken care of. We had one issue at the resort, notified Sheila who then contacted them and they went above and beyond to rectify our problem. I'm not sure they would have done all that they did if it weren't for her. We are very satisfied with her services!

Sheila was fantastic! She handled all the details, once she knew what it was we wanted. She kept us informed and made sure we had all the information we needed for our trip. She even coordinated the excursions directly with the hotel via our wedding registry. The honeymoon was amazing! She made sure we had a stress-free honeymoon! I would highly recommend her!
Elena & George’s Perfect Honeymoon in Maui and Kauai
My fiance and I were debating for some time about planning our honeymoon... should we book ourselves, use an agent, and who to trust. Sheila came highly recommended and we decided to trust her with planning our honeymoon- with great success! From the first point of contact Sheila addresses your needs, expectations, and budget. Then she provides background info on your destination, choice of lodging, and amenities. She always follows up and doesn't treat you like just a customer. We couldn't have had a better-planned trip; it was everything she said it would be... and more.
Heather & Scott’s Dream Belated Honeymoon at Secrets Capri Riviera
My husband & I were stressed with planning a belated honeymoon and didn’t know where to start. Luckily, Sheila Cannon with Carefree Romantic Vacations came to our rescue! After a short conversation about our budget, location, and desired activities, Sheila provided us with multiple options and we chose the one that worked best for us. Her knowledge, hard work, and above and beyond approach was very evident in our interactions with her and because of that, we were able to take a dream honeymoon and enjoy every second of it. Choosing Sheila to help plan your dream vacation will be a decision you will never regret.

Tyler & Erin’s Honeymoon at Iberostar Playa Mita, Mexico
We were having a hard time figuring out where to go on our honeymoon. We had a budget but had no idea how to spend it effectively. I came across Carefree Romantic Vacations on Google and decided to look into a planner to help us. Best decision! Shelia surveyed the both of us to see what we envisioned for our honeymoon. She then took our budget and found us three different options that matched our wants. Our experience with Carefree Romantic Vacation was stress free and money well spent!
Joe & Jenell’s Danube River Cruise with Extra Nights in Vienna & Budapest
Carefree Romantic Vacations is the best. Sheila handled every detail of our first trip to Europe, including combining Hilton Honors stays at the beginning and end of a 7-day river cruise. Her recommendations were spot-on. She asked great questions about what we wanted, then delivered a vacation that was flawless and exceeded our expectations.
Sheila's attention to detail is phenomenal and she's incredibly organized. (I'm an organized person myself, so I don't give out that compliment easily.). She really knows how to pro-actively handle arrangements so things go smoothly and predictably while you're traveling. There was no stress, because [she] thought of everything.
The champagne, desserts, and goodies [at our hotels] were wonderful and we loved getting them along with [her] sweet notes.
I highly recommend Sheila. You won't be disappointed.

Katie & Kevin’s Magical All-Inclusive Destination Wedding in Cabo
What does a young Bride, Groom, and 40 of their wedding guests, traveling from Hawaii, California, Oregon, Texas, Florida, South Carolina and Virginia all have in common??
A four-day destination wedding celebration, at an all-inclusive resort, in Cabo San Lucas, Baja, Mexico!! That’s what!
Sheila Cannon and Carefree Romantic Vacations was there to help guide us every step of the way.
Sheila helped us find, choose, and secure our dream all-inclusive destination.
She worked with every guest to safeguard his or her air travel arrangements.
She took care of all the transfers to and from the resort.
Sheila listened and catered to each guest’s requests before booking their room reservation.
Sheila was always there for us: To answer any questions –
To make recommendations - And to make adjustments to our itinerary
And what ADJUSTMENTS she had to make:
On September 14th, after booking the airfare, picking the resort, booking rooms, and making plans with our wedding planner…Hurricane Odile hits the Baja peninsula for the 1st time in recorded history. For a month or two following the Hurricane we thought the resort we chose would be back in business in time to host our wedding in May, but that was not to be the case. The resort would not be open until June…
We had 40 guests with plane tickets, heading to Cabo in May, with no place to stay, and no wedding scheduled to attend…Bummer! Now it’s December…Big Bummer!
Without missing a beat, Sheila took control of the situation, went back to square one, and began again.
Sheila found us a new resort, booked the rooms, secured our daughters wedding date, and did it all… with her positive, can do – will do - attitude.
This is a woman who is driven, and loves her work.
How did our daughters wedding celebration turn out?
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! It could not have been better.
Our guests said it was the best and most amazing wedding celebration they had ever been to. My wife and I have to agree; it was magical. Thank you Sheila!
Finding a great travel agent takes a lot of your time and effort.
You can now rest easy my friend…
Congratulations… you have done it!
You have just found Sheila Cannon and Carefree Romantic Vacations.
Making and SECURING your travel plans doesn't get any better than this!
Sincerely,
Michael & Marie
Minh & Nancy’s Perfect Honeymoon Cruise to Australia & New Zealand
I first off have to say that I was on the fence about looking for and hiring a travel agent however I am extremely grateful that I did. Her experience and professionalism made planning and experiencing the honeymoon a breeze! She would make every effort to look in depth at any of the bookings, try to save you money, see if there are any conflicts and address it to you, and continue to follow through with confirming everything is good to go days before your trip started.
If you are on the fence about it like I was, just go ahead and give Sheila a call and leave everything in her capable hands!

My wife and I tried planning our honeymoon for close to a year! With two kids, it made it difficult to find the time for ourselves to plan a vacation that is suppose to be fun, not stressful. I was advised by my best man to consult with a travel agent that made his honeymoon a breeze! With Sheila's help at Carefree Romantic Vacations, all of the stress was taken off of our shoulders. She was so helpful with picking a destination, cost efficiency, and overall value in the experience. From the flight out of Phoenix, to the port in Miami, to the exclusive beaches in the Bahamas, Sheila made it all happen! Absolutely the best experience my wife and I have ever had.

Sheila helped my husband and I plan for our honeymoon in Maui. This was my first time there and it was exactly liked I pictured a honeymoon to be.

It's a big world out there....where do YOU want to go?!
Brandon & Ann’s Perfect Honeymoon in Bora Bora, Tahiti
I had always dreamed of a honeymoon in Tahiti, so we looked for a travel agent to take care of all the details and make sure everything was done right. Sheila made it very special for us and even suggested ways we could save some money. She also requested a specific over water bungalow for us at the resort, where we would see lots of fish. The friends we made on the flight over were jealous that we could see so many! Thanks, Sheila, for making our honeymoon worry free and extra special.

Jake & Kristen’s Perfect Honeymoon at El Dorado Seaside, Riviera Maya
Called Sheila with carefree romantic vacations when our honeymoon plans fell apart with Sandals. She sorted it all out very easily and booked us on the most amazing honeymoon we could imagine. You can't write up enough praise. Truly was an amazing trip, planned perfectly. Thanks to Sheila!
Jared & Amanda’s Perfect Honeymoon at Sandals Ochi, Jamaica
My husband and I used Sheila to help us plan our perfect honeymoon in Ocho Rios Jamaica. We stayed at the sandals grande riveria which was absolutely amazing and beautiful!
At first I was hesitant on using a travel agent because I figured I could book it on my own but we met Sheila and she was so knowledgeable on what each resort had to offer and really helped us choose the best resort for what we were looking for around our budget.
She also was a big help to me because 3 days before my honeymoon I tore my ACL in my knee (which was a big bummer) we could have rescheduled our trip because we had travel insurance but decided to still go and she made many accommodations for me to have a pleasant vacation in spite of my injury. Such as, each airport had a wheelchair ready and available for me to maneuver around in (which was nice because it got my husband and I in the front of all the lines), our resort gave us a nice room that was easily accessible as well.
These things may seem small but really made a difference in our trip. So needless to say we are happy with the services Sheila provided for our honeymoon!
Couple Savor Montreal, New York City, Washington, Munch, Salzburg & Vienna On Romantic International Trip Planned by Sheila
Shelia Cannon helped me with an international trip that included flights/trains/hotels/events starting in Calif, traveling to Montreal, NYC, Wash DC, Munich, Salzburg and Vienna, by not only booking all of the travel, but also giving me options, and then when I changed my mind (it happens a lot, I change my mind all of the time), Shelia went back and was able to redo our trip at the last minute. She even was able to get back $500 from United Airlines after changing my flights.
Without Shelia, my trip would have been a disaster. I know this sounds like bogus Yelp hyperbole, but it isn't. The woman is truly an amazing travel agent!
Ric & Kim’s Worry-Free Travel Planning Experience on Britain & Ireland Panorama Group Tour With Brendan
Sheila has booked several domestic and international trips for us. All have been amazing. She finds out what the client wants in a vacation and then tailors it to their needs.
She is very professional, prompt, makes suggestions based on her experience and other client input. We have never had any problems with flights, cruises, resorts, transfers or excursions arranged by Sheila.
Its nice to have a travel agent that knows her business and makes sure the trips are successful and worry free.
I would highly recommend her to a friend.
Adriana & Alex's Exceptional Honeymoon Planning Experience
AFTER HONEYMOON:
First of all I want to say Sheila is hands down the Best!! Our honeymoon would have not been possible if it wasn't for her. We wanted to go to Europe but it was such a hard itinerary since we wanted to visit a few cities (London, Paris, Rome, Ibiza & Barcelona) and do many tours. I found Carefree Romantic Vacations online and everyone had very good things to say, so i contacted Sheila, I told her every thing we wanted to do and the budget we had. Best decision ever. She did exactly what we wanted it. Sheila answered every single question I had and when the time came to leave to our honeymoon she called me to go over every single detail. While on our honeymoon I needed to ask Sheila a question she answered my call right away. Nowhere else would you find that type of service!! The whole honeymoon went smooth we had a blast and Sheila was so sweet she had a few lil surprises waiting for us in the hotel room. Honestly she's excellent, always prompt,very professional and she knows her stuff to the dot. If you want a wonderful honeymoon stress free Carefree Romantic Vacations is the place to go. Sheila we can't thank you enough.
BEFORE HONEYMOON:
Sheila is AWESOME!! I was looking for a travel agent everywhere for our European honeymoon. They recommended me two travel agents. They were a nightmare to work with. They had no idea what they were doing.
I went on yelp and found Carefree Romantic Vacations and saw all the great reviews. I made an appt to talk to Sheila. She called me very promptly and asked everything we wanted to do and see in our honeymoon. When I was on the phone with her she sounded very professional and she was very knowledgeable about European Vacations. I received an email from Sheila that same night with hotels and flights to the honeymoon and the itinerary was exactly what I wanted; something the other travel agent had no clue about. Every time I have a question about anything I email her and she replies within minutes. We are DELIGHTED with Sheila. Sheila is exactly what we were looking for. For any future vacations I'm going straight to Sheila.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
Thank you so much Sheila for the fantastic job you've done and for helping us so much.
Julie & Chris's Memorable Honeymoon Planning Experience At El Dorado Maroma, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
I would definitely recommend Carefree Romantic Vacations to anyone looking for a memorable getaway. Before I found Sheila, I was struggling trying to find the perfect place, right price, and flight that fit our schedule. I was frustrated with trying to plan a wedding AND trying to create the best honeymoon! When I first talked to Sheila, I told her what I was looking for and she found it all within a week! She was great with keeping me in the loop with every detail especially with all of the little things I would not have thought about when planning it myself!
Thank you, Sheila!!!

LeAndra & Jawan’s Perfect Honeymoon at Grand Velas Riviera Maya
Such a pleasure working with you (on our honeymoon)! You have a work ethic like mine and I LOVE IT! Thanks so very much for your assistance with everything. You don't know how much this means to us and how much of a stress relief this is.
UPDATE:
Truly enjoyed our honeymoon vacation. It was all we dreamed of and more. I found the location in Forbes magazine while traveling. I reached out seeking travel agents that would allow for me to pay in installments on our honeymoon and Ms. Cannon was AMAZING! She sent us all information promptly and got us amazing prices for First Class transportation. She was timely in all of her responses and accommodating to all of our needs. I highly recommend using her if you need a stress free honeymoon planner so that you can focus on your big day.

Mike & Tricia’s Seamless Sandals Resort Nassau Anniversary
I want to take a moment to thank you for handling our booking to the Sandals Resort on Nassau in the Bahamas.
Everything you did to put this trip together for my wife and myself worked out better than expected. From the airline tickets and timing to the level of treatment that we received at Sandals and everything that needs to happen so the eight days went seamlessly, we could not have asked for more.
We didn't think we needed the butler you recommended, but now that we experienced it, we would not want to go back without one.
We will be using you and your firm in the future as we make plans for our next trip.
Jessica & George’s Amazing Belated Honeymoon at Sandals Montego Bay
My husband and I were married in October. We wanted to take a honeymoon, but weren't sure where to go or how to plan a vacation that was so important. We wanted it to be perfect so we decided to hire Sheila Cannon as our travel agent.
Hiring Sheila was truly one of the best decisions we could have possibly made. Not only was our trip perfect but it was beyond expectations and absolutely amazing. The best part of working with Sheila was she was so sweet and easy to work with and made sure everything was done to our liking.
Just one example of the many things she did for us; we have a six month old baby girl who, of course, wasn't able to go with us. Leaving her was the hardest part, but to my surprise when we arrived at the resort, there was a huge picture of my baby girl on my night stand. Having her picture there helped to ease the feeling of her absence and made me feel close to her.
I would recommend Sheila to anyone. I would never travel again without using her. She made my trip so simple and worry free. She truly was amazing and so helpful. I look forward to many more vacations planned by Sheila Cannon.
Lance & Stacey’s Unforgettable Anniversary at Sandals Regency La Toc
Sheila did a great job of booking our vacation. She was very attentive and made sure we had the best room at the resort. I would recommend (Carefree Romantic Vacations ) to anyone who wants a travel agent that really cares about you and your vacation.
Thanks again Sheila!

Unforgettable Birthday Celebration in Cancun, Mexico with Sheila
We used to spend hours and hours on the internet planning our vacations. Now we just contact Sheila. Because she is our travel genie, within a day we receive an email of a proposed itinerary for our approval.

As she says, she does the work so we just enjoy our travels. Whatever the trip, a cruise on the seven seas, or a resort in dreamy Mexico, everything is there and waiting for us.
