Cabo, St. Lucas
"I can't recommend Cathy and her travel agency enough! She handled every detail of our Cabo trip with professionalism and care—from flights and accommodations to excursions.
She was incredibly responsive, even with last-minute changes like adding my two-year-old grandson. My family and friends were able to relax and enjoy the trip, knowing everything was perfectly organized. I'll definitely be booking all my future trips with her. She also did a fantastic job with my niece's destination wedding."

Group Trip - Montego Bay, Jamaica
"My wife and I had an awesome time on our group trip to an all-inclusive resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
My wife was nervous and had lots of questions, but Cathy was so patient and knowledgeable, answering everything and making sure we were comfortable.
She's incredibly thorough and genuinely cares about her clients. The resort was exactly as she described, and we had so much fun that I've already asked her to plan our family reunion.
It was a real joy to work with her, and we can't wait to travel with her again!"

“Cathy was like the big sister that you didn’t think you needed. During this process she became family. Just like every family you will get frustrated at her but she will always deliver. I can confidently say without her involvement our wedding wouldn’t be such a huge success.”

"My wife and I recently worked with Cathy Ladouceur to plan a 30th-anniversary cruise for our family and friends. I highly recommend her as a travel agent.
Cathy took control of the complex planning process, which involved many people and moving parts. She made sure every detail was perfect and went above and beyond for each person on our trip.
It was evident Cathy understood the essence of travel arrangements and used that awareness and her expertise to insure our satisfaction.
The cruise was unforgettable and exceeded all our expectations. Thank you, Cathy, for making our celebration so special and memorable!"

Los Cabos owes me NOTHING!

"I had the pleasure of meeting these beautiful women on My vacation to Los Cabos in 2023 and we’re still in touch as of today. The coordinator of this wonderful vacation was so easy to work with. She made herself available in case of any questions or concerns. She provided us with beautiful Cabo tee shirts. I could go on and on! It was a GREAT experience! I decided to travel with her every year. Thank you Cathy for such an incredible experience!!!"

“I had such a fun and memorable experience traveling to Cabo with Cathy! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, exciting, and full of positive energy. Every day felt like a celebration — we laughed, relaxed, and truly enjoyed ourselves.
What stood out most to me was the sense of safety and support throughout the entire trip. Cathy is so sweet, down-to-earth, and personable. She made everyone feel comfortable — whether you came with friends, family, or even as a solo traveler. It really felt like a family atmosphere, especially with her own loved ones there too.
I would absolutely recommend Cathy’s travel services to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable travel experience. You won’t be disappointed!"

Cruise
We had the absolute best experience working with Cathy as our travel agent for a very special occasion—a cruise celebrating a 30-year wedding anniversary for my best friend Stacey and Todd Wynne and their host of family and friends. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone Cathy was not only friendly and approachable but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She took the time to walk us through different options and to make sure all the details—from the night before the cruise to the cruise itself—were perfectly planned. She really took her time and she made what could have been a stressful process for some, feel smooth and exciting.
Even though we never ran into any major issues, I always felt confident that if something unexpected came up, Cathy would be able to resolve it. Thanks to her, the whole trip was seamless. Cathy even alerted the cruise line that it was my birthday the day we sailed out and I was greeted with decorations and a cake before the cruise ship ever left the dock. Cathy truly helped make their 30-year anniversary celebration unforgettable, and we’ll definitely turn to her for our future travel plans and we have already booked our next trip to Italy with Cathy at Sweet Joy Travel. Thanks again Cathy for a job well done!

Southern Caribbean Cruise

"My boyfriend and I booked a cruise through Cathy at Sweet Joy Travel, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She took care of everything quickly and professionally, making the entire planning process easy and stress-free.
She scheduled meetings to go over our itinerary and offered helpful suggestions to make our travels safe, secure, and most of all…fun! Cathy is incredibly approachable, honest, and knowledgeable, which made us feel confident every step of the way.
As someone who had never been on a cruise before, and had never even traveled out of the country, I was a little nervous. Cathy reassured me and truly encouraged me to take this trip. I am so glad I did! We had an amazing time on our Southern Caribbean cruise and created memories that will last a lifetime.
We will absolutely be working with Cathy again to book our next adventure. Highly recommend Sweet Joy Travel!"​

“My husband and I, went to Portugal for our 25th wedding anniversary in October, and it was absolutely amazinggggg. From start to finish, everything was taken care of. Thanks to Cathy with Sweet Joy Travel, who provided exceptional service. Cathy booked our hotel, transportation, restaurant, tours and insurance coverage. We didn't have to stress or figure out a single detail. Cathy was available every day to answer any questions I had, and kept me updated every step of the way. Cathy was friendly, patient, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, detailed in communication and accurate on all points. "Cathy went above and beyond, and the service was the best I've ever received.
I highly recommend Cathy for all your travel plans."

"Mrs. Cathy has now organized not just one, but two incredible trips for my friend and me—first to Jamaica, then to Cabo—and both were unforgettable! What I love most is how truly hands-on and organized she is. From the moment we booked to the moment we checked in, everything felt seamless. No stress, no confusion—just pure vacation joy.
In Jamaica, we were surrounded by beauty, kindness, and fun from the moment we arrived. And Cabo? Wow. That was a whole vibe. Every day felt like a party day—gorgeous rooms, safe environment, and excursions that had us making memories we’ll seriously never forget. She curated experiences that made us feel taken care of, celebrated, and completely at ease. It didn’t just feel like a vacation—it felt like a dream.
If you’re looking for someone who listens, plans with heart, and makes sure every detail is flawless, Mrs. Cathy is your girl. I would definitely do it all over again. In fact… I already can’t wait for the next trip!"

"My friend’s destination wedding at a resort in Jamaica was absolutely beautiful thanks to Cathy. The oceanfront setting created the perfect tropical backdrop, and everyone in our group loved the all-inclusive experience. Great food, lively entertainment, and friendly staff everywhere. The wedding ceremony was stunning, with crystal-clear water and a romantic beach vibe. Overall Cathy’s organized trip is an amazing choice for an stress-free, elegant Caribbean wedding celebration."​
I went to Cabo San Lucas, in July 2024 on a trip organized by Sweet Joy Travel LLC, and they did an amazing job! Everything was well planned and there was excellent communication every step of the way from the minute I left my house to the minute I got back. The use of WhatsApp made it easy to stay connected, the excursions and group dinners were perfectly organized and so much fun. I had an incredible time with zero stress or regrets. My experience with Sweet Joy Travel was fantastic. I definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable and relaxing travel experience. ---Edison

I went on several trips with Cathy of Sweet Joy Travel. Whether it was a group trip or a girl’s trip that she booked Cathy's expertise, professionalism, and communication skills shine. She has a zest for life and is full of joy. And that energy translates into her passion for planning trips and creating travel memories. I have lots of them.
On one of the trips that she booked for me to Puerto Rico I had a problem at the front desk that could not be resolved. In my frustration I contacted Cathy. She listened, was calm, made a few phone calls and the problem was solved. I will be forever grateful. I enjoyed my stay in PR and the resort was beautiful. We even saw some geckos. I would suggest you contact Sweet Joy Travel for peace of mind for your next Hotel or Cruise TRIP. ---Liz

My vacation for my trips started when I chose Cathy as my travel agent. I did not have anything to worry about when it came to planning each of my trips. Cathy chose great resorts and she planned an organized, fun and relaxing itinerary for me each and every time. Her communication and preparation for my trips was exceptional and made the entire experience feel like the vacation that I really needed. ---Viola Lanier
