Frequently Asked Questions

For most cruise and vacation bookings, there is no additional planning fee to use Buras Travel Solutions because I’m compensated by the travel suppliers I book with. For certain complex itineraries or specialized planning services, a planning fee may apply. Any applicable fee will always be discussed with you before we begin.

A travel advisor provides personalized guidance based on your specific vacation needs, preferences, and budget. I help you compare destinations, cruise lines, resorts, itineraries, staterooms, and other options so you can make informed decisions. Buras Travel Solutions also provides support before and during your vacation, giving you someone to turn to when questions or unexpected issues arise.

Planning early is especially helpful for cruises, peak-season travel, school breaks, and large groups. Planning 6–12 months in advance often gives you a better selection of ships, resorts, itineraries, and accommodations. Popular holiday and summer travel may benefit from planning even earlier, but I can also help with shorter timelines when availability allows.

I specialize in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Disney and Universal vacations, family vacations, group travel, and guided tours. I can also help with many other types of vacations, so if you’re not sure whether your trip is a fit for Buras Travel Solutions, just ask.

Absolutely. Buras Travel Solutions can help plan group travel for family reunions, birthdays, destination weddings, group cruises, corporate trips, sports teams, and other special occasions. I help compare travel options and coordinate accommodations, cruise arrangements, and other trip details to make planning easier for the entire group.

Not necessarily. My goal is to help you find the best overall value for your vacation, not simply the lowest price. Depending on the trip and supplier, I may have access to promotions, amenities, or other offers, but availability varies. I also help you compare the options so you can make an informed decision based on price, inclusions, and what matters most to you.

If an issue comes up during your trip, Buras Travel Solutions can help you understand your options and work with the appropriate travel supplier when assistance is needed. Having a travel advisor gives you an additional point of contact for guidance and support before, during, and after your vacation.

Yes. Travel insurance options are available and can provide coverage for certain unexpected events, depending on the policy you choose. I can help you review available travel protection options for your trip, including coverage related to cancellations, medical emergencies, travel delays, and lost or delayed baggage. Coverage, limits, and exclusions vary by plan, so it’s important to review the policy details before purchasing.

I provide support throughout the travel process—from planning and booking through your trip and your return home. If questions or issues arise while you’re traveling, you can contact me for guidance, and I can help you determine the appropriate next steps or work with the travel supplier when needed.
