Fantastic experience: Dana helps make travel easy! She always makes sure you get the best possible price and finds the that best suits your wants/needs. We just returned from Beaches Turks and Caicos. She gave recommendations for the resort and things to try while there. We asked her to book a character breakfast, which is extra. Not only did she book it but she surprised us when we found out it was already paid for. She is always quick to answer any questions we had before and during our vacation. We have used Dana several times now and are already planning two more trips with her. We highly recommend Dana to all our friends and family!

Fantastic experience: So, I have never used a travel agent prior to this trip because I just didn't trust people. My cousin and her friends started planning this trip and hired Dana Salem-McCarthy . I have to say that this experience has been the best thing I've ever done. Dana was great. I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work she put into our trip. She stuck with us the entire time. Got us great deals. She listened to all of our requests and didn't disappoint. We are discussing our next trip with her already. I will never use another travel agent.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Dana with Dream Vacations more. From the moment I reached out about my honeymoon, she made the entire travel planning process smooth & stress-free.

Fantastic experience: Great to work with and exceptional service!! Amazing team work. AAA+++ Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: We have booked several vacations with Laura at Dream Vacations and she has done a fabulous job. She has worked with the whole family to get us cruise cabins together and at the best price. Our recent European cruise was fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Dana was professional, kind and helpful from the onset! The package she secured had plenty of perks like a gift bag, free service at the spa, VIP access at the resort and complimentary bottle of champagne or wine. I booked the trip last minute in less than 10 days from departure. My schedule changed and I I was able to travel with the group. Dana provided comprehensive details on my travel package, gave pointers to make travel easier and was accessible by email and phone, always responding within 24hrs and addressing any question or need. The resort was nice. I've traveled to Mexico six times and stayed at various properties. This was my first time at Breathless. It is a smaller resort about 375 rooms but amenities were plenty, restaurants great, pools amazing, beachfront views and access, lots of entertainment, activities and easy access to downtown Cancun, airport and other areas. I would absolutely recommend Dana and Dream Vacations. I look forward to working with her again.

Fantastic experience: Dana was phenomenal! Made sure everything was well communicated from beginning to end. Even added a special gift right before we left for our trip. I’ve worked with many travel agents and never had anyone do that

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Dana for a 50th birthday trip for me and my friend and she really came through for us, it was a group trip so we had some people in different state and she took care of everything for us. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly with any questions or concerns we had. When we arrived in Mexico everything was perfect and the rooms she recommended were excellent. Anyone looking for a travel agent I will definitely recommend her. I already have her planning our next vacation.

Fantastic experience: Dana is great to work with. She takes all the work out for us and handles all the little details. We have been using her for about 6 years now and have had great vacations each time!!!

Fantastic experience: I don’t have words to express what an amazing trip Dana planned for our 20th wedding anniversary to South Africa. I had no worries about the adventure she planned for us, but as someone who hasn’t traveled far abroad in quite some time (and had much guilt about leaving our children home) Dana put our minds at 100% ease. Anytime I had a question, concern or needed advice Dana answered my call instantly. Which was very consoling. Once we arrived in Africa we were very happy with our accommodations and experiences. Especially the houseboat we stayed on and our safari lodge, Jabulani. Everyone says going to Africa is a life changing experience, and I can also say that is true! Having Dana advise you along the way made the trip possible for us. This was not the first trip Dana has planned for us, and it won’t be the last. I cannot thank her enough for all of the hard work and time she put into our trip.

Fantastic experience: We booked our Viking Cruise with Dana and she was fantastic! She made sure everything was taken care of every step of the way, even when she was on her own vacation. She went above and beyond!

Fantastic experience: Dana, also known as "The Travel Fairy", is indeed magical! She is a great listener, a knowledgeable traveler, relentless advocate for her clients, a dedicated professional, and the most thoughtful travel agent you could ever dream of! Whether I've known exactly what I want or just had an idea, she has always gone above and beyond to make a memorable vacation for me. No matter what random travel issue arises, she always finds a solution and will not give up until she not only fixes it but also exceeds all expectations! I've been fortunate enough to be her client with frequent travels for nearly a decade! Once you are a client, you will soon and forever be a friend.

Fantastic experience: Dana was a tremendous help to my entire family on our vacation to Punta Cana. My family was a very large group, and many of us had to take different flights, and arrive/depart on different days. Dana worked hard communicating with all the family members on the trip, and made sure we had everything we needed. My wife and I had trouble checking in on our flight home, but Dana immediately answered my text messages to help guide us on how to resolve our concern. She was constantly communicating with me on my trip, and it put my wife and I at ease. She even texted us as soon as we landed back in NY. I highly recommend choosing Dana as your travel agent on any trip you take. You will feel organized, ready and safe the entire time.

Fantastic experience: Dana made our booking for my husband’s 60th birthday celebration seamless. She helped with reminders about required forms since we had never been to the DR before. She answered all of our many questions. We appreciated her personalized level of service.

Fantastic experience: Great customer service! Personal touch and care regarding the vacation experience. Quick response to inquiries. Surprised us with complimentary chocolates and champagne first day aboard the cruise ship.

Fantastic experience: Hi everyone I wanted to give our travel agent (Dana) the best review the world has ever seen.. me and my husband we’re celebrating our 15th year wedding anniversary as a vow renewal on the carnival celebration cruise ship. From the start she was very informative very hands on she answered all of our/guests questions immediately and if see didn’t know the answer (which was rare for her) she would have an answer in less then 24hrs.. and when my husband’s cousin (Leslie) suddenly passed away which her and her husband was our guests traveling with us on this trip. Dana was the first one to reach out and give her condolences which we thought that was so nice of her. I totally recommend her A1 services and we can’t wait to book with her again. Best travel agent in the business ❤️❤️

We look forward to working with Dana in the future for all of our vacation needs!

Fantastic experience: Dana Salem-McCarthy is the best travel agent I've ever had the pleasure of working with for travel. She came highly recommended by a dear friend and I certainly understand why. She is courteous, helpful and committed to every aspect of your travel needs. I was floored by her level of knowledge and how many times she was at my disposal. I went back and forth making changes as I tried to schedule a group trip to Jamaica. One person had to back out last minute because they are too sick to travel. She went above and beyond to get changes made once I found a replacement. Dana is a fantastic travel agent. She is never too busy to assist. She stays in constant communication until the end. She genuinely cares about her clients and making their travel as seamless and pleasurable as possible. And, the best part, she'll keep going until she has the best rate and accommodations to fit your budget. I wouldn't recommend anyone other than Dana for travel needs. She is a top notch dedicated agent. She'll definitely handle all of my travel in the future.
