Hi, I'm Betsy Hampton, an independent affiliate with A.S.A.P. Cruises Inc. (dba Cruises & Tours, Unlimited/OutsideAgents), a host agency based in Jacksonville, Florida that is a Travel Leaders Network Affiliate Agency. My clients may receive some booking confirmations listing Cruises & Tours, Unlimited or Outside Agents since my affiliation utilizes those credentials.
All clients must acknowledge and accept both my Terms and Conditions and those of the travel supplier.
I process all payments directly with the cruise line or supplier's secure system and send you a receipt and/or updated invoice showing your payment, as well as a confirmation from the cruise line or supplier. I use PCI-compliant systems to securely collect your credit card while authorizing payment for your purchase.
Along with me not accepting payments over the phone, this helps reduce potential fraud to protect my small business and you.

- When you're traveling far from home, you never know what might happen. Travel insurance can help you with minor annoyances and major emergencies overseas -- and save you money, too.
- If you have a covered medical emergency, travel insurance can guarantee payment to doctors and hospitals. Without insurance, you'll probably have to pay out of pocket.
- If you require a medical evacuation, travel insurance can pay for you to be transported to the nearest appropriate facility following a covered illness or injury. Without insurance, you could receive a 5-figure medevac bill.
- If you have to cancel your trip for a covered reason, travel insurance can reimburse you for your prepaid, non-refundable trip costs. Without insurance, you could lose all the money you spent.
- If you face an unexpected crisis, travel insurance gives you access to 24-Hour Hotline Assistance for expert help and advice. Without insurance, you’re on your own.

What do my clients say?
"Betsy has helped us with two cruises. Most recently, she helped us book a cruise to Alaska with our mothers. We were concerned that our cabins be near each other and we were hoping to take advantage of a deal. Betsy immediately began searching when I contacted her and found us a better deal with side by side cabins! She makes the process to easy and effortless for us. I have complete confidence it her recommendations and ability to make the best selections for us! She checked in regularly after the booking and even after the cruise to verify we had a great time! Thank you Betsy!!"
"I contacted Betsy three months before our 15-year anniversary and hoped I could get a trip pulled together. It wasn’t an issue at all! We were provided with three different options that all looked amazing. We chose our favorite and didn’t have to do anything else. Betsy was available for any questions and even contacted me with information as our departure date approached. She provided excursion options with no pressure to schedule anything. We ended up choosing an awesome excursion because it was a great deal. Our goal for this vacation was relaxation and the location of this hotel was perfect. We look forward to working with Betsy again in the future!"
"Betsy did an amazing in taking my basic requirements and booking us a wonderful cruise to Alaska, I had to make several changes to the vacation due to personal situations, but Betsy helped.me navigate through those like the professional she is."
"Planning a trip for our family has always been challenging and especially time consuming until I met Betsy! She is patient, responsive, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and resourceful. Our first cruise trip with Royal Caribbean to Western Caribbean is one of the best trips we have had thanks to Betsy. With the first cruise, I had so many questions. Instead of Googling and going through hundreds of relevant and nonrelevant results, all I had to do was asking Betsy. She either had the answers or found the answers for me and provided additional helpful information. She sent us luggage tags and seapass lanyard holders that proved to be must-haves for cruise. She even sent surprises to our rooms onboard. We now are looking forwards to our 2nd cruise with Norwegian and even have the third cruise lined up with her help. She is THE best travel agent and the EASY button in cruise planning."
"We have worked with Betsy for several years. She works hard to meet our requests and needs whether we are cruising or traveling to a destination on land. She handles all the details, provides us with options and is a phone call away if we need something while gone. She understands that people work hard for their money, consequently she finds the best deals possible. I wouldn't work with any one else. On our last trip to Key West in May our flight got cancelled, she was right on it and had us booked on another flight immediately."
"Very efficient and pleasant to work with!"
"Betsy went above and beyond my expectations with planning for this cruise. It was my first time going on a cruise and she made it a wonderful trip! I told her when I was available and she found me a great cruise at a great price! I had so many questions and she answered every one. She sent me links to find the information and get used to the ports and the parking and the rooms on the ship. Overall, I had a great time planning the cruise, almost as much as I had on the cruise. I can't wait to book my next one!"
"Betsy worked tirelessly with us to help us plan our perfect Disney vacation! Her knowledge of the parks made everything so easy! She was able to give us suggestions that are extremely helpful and time saving! She really worked around the clock to get us every option we wanted, but still stayed within our budget! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!"
"Betsy is so great! Very knowledgeable and helpful!"
"Betsy was able to make what seemed like a huge undertaking as stress free and painless as possible. Tor his summer our family decided to take on Disney World. Having no experience with this type of vacation. It seemed as if the number of options, activities, etc were endless. Betsy helped us sort though all of this and put together a package that essentially had everything we were looking for. She took care of everything from resort stays, dining reservations, and check in to Universal tickets and payments. We had an amazing time and were able to do everything we wanted. There was no stress leading up to or during the trip and it is all thanks to Betsy. She did an amazing job and we cannot thank her enough!!"
"Some might call me the “Karen” of cruising, an agent’s worst nightmare. Not Ms. Hampton! She is professionalism with a capital P. She is fantastic, full of knowledge and so kind. Not once has she told me that Google is my friend or delayed answering my multitude of insane questions. We love her!"
"Made it super easy! Great person to work with!!!"
Amazing - would highly recommend her!
Betsy was great. From the start of planning our cruise to the very end, she made it stress free. With so much going on on the ship, it’s easy to miss out of exciting stuff, so to have an expert for the in’s and out’s was invaluable! One thing that really helped us was Betsy listened to our needs and budget and found a cruise that nailed it. 10/10 best cruise and travel agent, and I cannot recommend her enough!
Betsy was great to work with. Kept us organized and informed.
