In Their Words
Our attendees couldn’t say enough great things about the cruise, they loved the fact that it was only our people on the ship, turnkey and for the most part all inclusive.
We look forward to partnering up with you again, with one request…we get Ana and Robbyanne every time! Ana was my lifesaver through the pre-planning process and while on the ship. Always looking out for us and ensuring things stayed on track and eager to help anywhere that was needed. We had such a great time with her and it was hard to leave after we had spent so much time on the ship together.
Once again you gave me PERFECT coaching on ship, destination, time of year, etc. Our entire field feels very special and their work respected. You are amazing and I am so grateful to the Buy the Sea team.
You cannot put a value on the contribution Robbyanne has made to the success of our historic event — from the moment she started to join the operational calls, attend the site inspection, to keeping RCCL’s commitment to the contract terms throughout the cruise. Once on board she was the shining star in the crown, attending to our needs with the ship and attending the crew updates on our behalf on a daily basis as if it was no big deal. The showstopper for us was the last day; 15 minutes before we disembarked the ship for the last time, she handed over the entire on-board spend accounts reconciled to the last cent — unbelievable!
I have had the pleasure of partnering with the ladies at Buy the Sea since early 2010. Frankly, our company could not have enjoyed the fantastic high success rate of so many cruise incentive trips without the negotiation and contract support, product guidance and operational expertise of the whole Buy the Sea team. Working with such a professional cruise industry hard-hitter who ensures the best ship to the perfect destination at the right price = every Meeting Planner’s dream: tangible ROI!
What I like about Buy the Sea is that they have the most current and detailed information on all the cruise lines. With one call, I can find out everything. Their response time is terrific to the leads we sent out. They really know their business.
Working with Buy the Sea saves me so much time. They are familiar with every cruise product on the market and always recommends the right ship for each one of our groups. And equally as important, it doesn’t cost me any more to use their services.
We partner with Buy the Sea because the team is knowledgeable, responsive, and understands our needs. They have the ability to quickly find the right match for our requirements, which saves us a lot of time, and they make business fun in the process.
Buy the Sea has been an exceptional partner to Celebrity Cruises for many years. Their trust in our brand, commitment to delivering outstanding client experiences, and consistent support have made them one of our most valued relationships. We are truly grateful for the partnership and look forward to continuing to grow together.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with the Buy the Sea team on private cruise charters and have consistently been impressed by their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to partnership. Chartering a ship involves a unique level of complexity, and having a knowledgeable partner who understands both the cruise industry and the needs of corporate event professionals is invaluable. Buy the Sea is collaborative, solutions-oriented, and genuinely invested in the success of the program. I consider them a trusted industry partner and would highly recommend them to others considering a private charter.
Buy the Sea has been an invaluable champion for Royal Caribbean when it comes to their Corporate Meeting and Incentive Groups. As an elite cruise broker, they continually raise the bar for what a world-class incentive program looks like, choosing our fleet to reward and inspire teams from all over the globe. What makes working with Buy the Sea so exceptional is their collaborative spirit and deep expertise. They understand how to perfectly balance business objectives with the unmatched thrills and entertainment found on our ships. We are incredibly grateful for their long-term trust, and we look forward to many more years of delivering extraordinary events at sea together.
I cannot say enough great things about my experience working with Caryn and Buy the Sea. From the very beginning, Caryn demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. She willingly explored multiple ships, destinations, routes, and seasonal options to help us identify the ideal charter experience. Her persistence and commitment to finding the best solution gave us complete confidence throughout the process. Caryn made what could have been a complex decision feel easy, and the service we received was truly outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Caryn and Buy the Sea to anyone considering a charter.
Buy the Sea is truly the partner I have had the privilege of working with in this industry. Their clients’ best interests are always at the heart of everything they do, and they are some of the most seasoned and masterful negotiators I know. They know the market, they know the value of what they are buying, and they aren’t afraid to push their partners to deliver the very best possible experience and terms for their clients. What makes that relationship so special is that they are equally respected and valued on the supplier side. They negotiate hard, but they negotiate fairly, with an incredible understanding of both sides of the partnership. When Buy the Sea brings me an opportunity, I know the client has been thoughtfully qualified, expectations have been clearly established, and their team will be engaged from the first conversation through the execution of the program. Their clients absolutely love them, and as a hotel partner, so do I. They are true partners in every sense of the word.
I am very fortunate to work with Buy the Sea. Their professionalism, attention to detail is truly exceptional and sets them apart. I value our partnership and look forward to continuing to work together.
