What happens if something goes wrong on our honeymoon?

CIRE Travel's honeymoon planners are on call 24/7 and fix problems before you even know about them. When a Bali hotel flooded and closed while a honeymoon couple was in the air, CIRE president Eric Hrubant used a personal connection to move them into an ocean-view suite at the five-star hotel next door at their original rate, with a car and driver waiting at the airport.

Eric Hrubant tells how CIRE rescued a Bali honeymoon after the couple's hotel flooded mid-flight.

We planned an amazing honeymoon to Bali for some clients. About an hour into their flight, we got a phone call from their hotel saying that they had a flood and had to shut down temporarily. So our clients are already in the air, I have no way to reach them, but I have 12 hours to figure it out.

As I was planning the honeymoon for them, I wanted to put them in this beautiful four-star hotel, and right next door was the five-star hotel they really wanted, but it was just outside of their budget. Luckily for me, I know the owner of that five-star hotel, so I literally sent him an email that said “Michael, help” in the subject line. Michael calls me within 30 seconds. I explain the situation. I also explain the rate that they had at the hotel that’s now temporarily closed. “Give me 30 minutes,” Michael said.

So within 30 minutes, Michael called me back and he’s like, “Eric, I have your clients in a beautiful ocean-view suite, and I’m honoring the rates from the hotel next door. This is a favor to you.” I called a car and driver to pick my clients up at the airport, along with a note explaining what happened, and they had the honeymoon of their dreams.

Most people think travel planning is about options. It’s not. It’s about making the right decision. Which flight? Which hotel? Did I pick the right location? What’s the price? This is exhausting. It’s called decision fatigue. You don’t have time for that.

"Eric is so great that he takes care of problems before you even know there is a problem, especially with weather delays and other travel snafus. I cannot say enough good things about Eric and his team and highly recommend them for both personal travel and corporate travel planning needs!” 

– Benjamin, Media – New York

"Eric is truly the best travel planner. He goes above and beyond every time, without fault. He seizes absolutely every opportunity to improve and enhance your travel experience. As a client, I know I benefit each trip from the relationships he has established, and the credibility and outstanding reputation he has earned in the industry. His disposition, ease, and professionalism qualitatively set him apart. Regardless of the request, the urgency, the challenge, he handles each issue and transaction with a calm and efficient attitude. Above all, he is just a great person and simply such a pleasure to work with. I have and will continue to recommend Eric, without hesitation and unconditionally, to anyone who needs a corporate travel agent. And if you think you don’t need one, after working with Eric for a couple of times, you’ll wonder how you lived without him.”

– Kiersten C, Cyber Security – Virginia

"We got a solicitation voicemail yesterday from some corporate travel agency down the street, and I made a point of calling them back just to tell them that we were so happy with our travel guru, CIRE Travel. We didn’t need to hear about their corporate travel planning services because we were not looking to change. Shortest solicitation call of my life.”

– Emilian P, Cyber Security – Washington, DC

"I was spending countless hours on travel booking and airline websites. What was taking me a ridiculous amount of time to do, CIRE Travel handled in minutes. And with a trip involving three airlines and four airports, I’m relieved knowing that if something goes wrong, I just call CIRE.” 

– Brenda H, Advertising – Kansas City

"Eric is wonderful! He helped me organize a week-long conference in New Delhi and he managed each piece seamlessly—from the flights to the hotels to the ground transportation. He knew all about our various options within New Delhi and helped weigh in thoughtfully as we finalized our contracts with each vendor. He was a genuine pleasure to work along every step of the process!”
