I specialize in curating seamless, experience-driven travel for life’s most meaningful moments and once-in-a-lifetime journeys.

First family cruise
Reviewed By Tim - Highland Heights, Ohio | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Our family just got back from our first cruise on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas. We had an amazing and unforgettable trip! As first time cruisers it was so helpful and reassuring to have Keith Nootbaar guide us in this process. Keith helped us choose the cruiseline, ship and travel itinerary that best fit for our busy family of 6. Keith helped us book the cruise, airfare, hotel accomodations and ground transportation to the port. He was always available and communicated with us promptly whenever we had questions or concerns. Thanks Keith for all of your help!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fantastic!
Reviewed By Dsm927 - Moreland hills, oh | Traveled to Virgin Islands | Caribbean
We had such a great experience working with Keith! This was the third cruise we booked through him, and have already booked our 4th! He handled everything for our cruise and transportation seamlessly, making the entire trip stress-free and enjoyable. Keith was responsive, organized, and truly had our best interests in mind. We couldn’t have asked for better planning and will absolutely use him again for future trips. Highly recommend!
