Great Adventures
Kelli was great to work with. She always there to answer even my "silly questions" but things that help put my mind at ease when planning a family vacation. I will absolutely circle back with Kelli when we are planning our next vacation. She was knowledgable about the cruise line and helped to narrow down what would be the best experience for my family.

Amazing trip with incredible customer service!
Excellent customer service. Kelli planned everything down to the smallest detail. The app is easy to use and incredibly functional. We loved having all the details and tickets all in one place during our trip. Our airline went on strike right before our trip and we were very nervous. Kelli outlined every step we would need to take if it impacted us, which it didn't. She's incredibly detail oriented and asked questions we never would have thought of! Incredible trip we will remember the rest of our lives.
