Attention to details
Reviewed By Kathy - Glendale, AZ | Traveled to Caribbean
I have had Shelli book cruises for me since 2012. I knew how organized and knowledgeable she was but I really learned about her attention to detail this past summer. I went on a cruise with my NY family (organized by their travel agent). I kept saying "Shelli would have....." because the other travel agent did not share the level of information that Shelli shares (especially for newer travelers). Shelli makes suggestions about dining and excursions and even helps with luggage tags. She also makes suggestions for hotels near ports (and where to stay on a pretty full ship when I was late to book.) The other travel agent did none of those things except to take the original group booking. I'm so glad I've had Shelli for my trips....almost ready for her to help with a trip to Ireland! Kathy
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

20 years working with Shelli
Reviewed By LuAnn - Beatrice, NE | Traveled to Caribbean
I have had Shelli as my TA for at least 20 years. She knows exactly what we like when we cruise and gives me the best advice on ships, rooms and ports. That’s why I’ve followed her from her last company. If you want someone who will always listen and follow up with you then she’s your gal. Thanks Shel, for everything.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Well arranged
Reviewed By Mickey634 - Peoria AZ | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Shelli did a great job arranging our whale watching excursion. She found a hotel with a great view, located whale watching boats and booked the tours, and recommended all inclusive which was an excellent idea. I greatly appreciated Shelli's experience and recommendations.
