“Waitre d’ held interviews in Cape Town in 2016 for Viking Ocean Cruises, and within 4 months I was back at sea where my heart will always belong. It has been amazing having Waitre d’ as my agent. No hidden agendas, no surprise and unnecessary costs. They are always ready to assist, even if its just keeping contact and making sure I am still happy. There are very few agents out there that care for your personal well being as sincerely as Carol and Marcus and their team. Waitre d’ – I give you all a standing ovation for all the effort and personal attention you pay to us. Proud to be part of the Waitre D’ family. Loving my life of travel and adventure” Thank you!
