Frequently asked questions

Do you help with transportation to the port?

Yes! We’ll help you arrange transportation to and from your cruise port, whether you’re flying in, driving, or adding extra days before or after your sailing. We can coordinate cruise line transfers, private shuttles, rental cars, or hotel stays near the port—whatever makes your trip easiest. Our goal is to make getting there (and home again) just as smooth as your time at sea.

What if a new discount comes out after I’ve booked?

No worries! We constantly monitor promotions and price drops from our travel partners. If a new deal becomes available that applies to your reservation, we’ll rebook or adjust it so you get the best possible rate. You don’t have to lift a finger—we’ll handle everything and make sure you never miss out on savings.

Do I have to give up control if I book through you?

Not at all. Think of us as your travel partners, not people who take over your plans. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want. Some of our clients love to be involved in every detail, while others prefer to let us handle everything from start to finish—it’s totally up to you. When you book with us, you still have full access to your reservations, payments, and trip details. We simply make the process smoother, help you avoid common mistakes, and use our experience to unlock extra perks and savings along the way. You stay in control, but with expert support right beside you.

Do you help with group travel?

Absolutely! Whether it’s a family reunion, friends’ getaway, business, school group, or destination celebration, we handle all the logistics so everyone can just show up and enjoy. We’ll coordinate rooms, dining, payments, and itineraries so your group stays organized and stress-free. You’ll have one point of contact (us!) to make sure every detail is covered.

What are the benefits of booking through The Plan Away?

When you book with us, you get more than a travel agent—you get us, Tim and Janele. We’re a husband-and-wife team who love exploring the world and helping others do the same. Over the years, we’ve turned our passion for travel into a way to help families, couples, and friends create unforgettable adventures—without the stress that usually comes with planning. Whether you’re heading to Disney, Universal, an all-inclusive resort, or out on a cruise, we take care of the details so you can focus on the fun. We’ve personally visited many of the destinations we recommend, tested resorts and restaurants, and learned the insider tips that make all the difference once you’re there. And the best part? Our services are completely free. We’re paid by our travel partners, not by you. You get our experience, advice, and full support—from the moment you start planning until you return home—at no extra cost.

Are your services really free?

Yes! Our planning services are 100% free. We’re paid directly by your vacation destination, so you get expert help without paying a dime more than if you booked yourself.

Ready to start your vacation?

Free to plan, always. Tell us your dates and your dream — we'll handle the rest.
