A Journey Like No Other
Olivia’s journey into launching her Caribbean Festival company began with a thirst for new adventures and a craving for superior experiences in 2019. Originally, she and her friends aimed to go to the world-renowned Trinidad carnival. However, tackling such a massive event in February, especially with kids in tow, proved to be a logistical challenge. Undeterred, Olivia’s passion for immersing herself in Caribbean festivals endured, leading her to consider Barbados Crop Over in the summer as an enticing alternative. Sadly, the pandemic threw a wrench into their plans, causing uncertainty in 2020 and 2021.
But Olivia is not one to back down from a challenge. She embarked on a quest to find a travel concierge company that specialized in Caribbean festival experiences. She researched extensively, tirelessly searching for a reliable partner for this exhilarating journey. Finally, she stumbled upon a company that promised to deliver an exceptional experience during Barbados Crop Over in 2022. After almost a year of meticulous preparation and communication, Olivia and her friends set off for Barbados Crop Over, filled with excitement and anticipation.
However, their excitement soon gave way to a string of mishaps and disappointments upon arrival. The company they had chosen failed to deliver on its promises, from missing breakfast at the hotel or any nearby options to not receiving the event tickets they had paid for. There were also issues with accessing the costumes they had pre-paid to pick up. Olivia’s determination and unwavering advocacy for her group, who were left frustrated by this subpar service, shone through as she navigated these challenges. She ensured that her group’s costumes were secured and diligently addressed the other issues, even though the chosen company offered no assistance. To add to the frustration, the company promised a 25% discount but never followed through.
Reflecting on this trying experience, Olivia realized that no one should have to endure such setbacks when seeking unforgettable travel experiences. Her deep commitment to delivering top-notch service, coupled with her firsthand experience of the pitfalls of the previously chosen travel company, became the driving force behind her decision to establish Caribbean Island Festivals. Olivia is unwavering in her commitment to ensuring that her clients never encounter similar disappointments. Trust, reliability, and exceptional customer service are the pillars of her business.

She even provides detailed itineraries to help you pack and plan, ensuring you’re fully prepared.
