We had a great time on our Virgin cruise! The ship was clean with plenty of activities, the food was great and the service was outstanding! Thank you for your help securing us a great room, the mid ship location was perfect!

Cruise Planners reaches out to offer suggestions, comments, etc. They ask if I have any comments, concerns, questions.
Their 'folder' with everything I need (some of which I didn't know I need) arrives with time to spare - to call if I need to.
- Eileen M.
Kellie & Joe have been wonderful throughout the planning process and up to and through the cruise. They both are professional, caring & detailed. I enjoyed working with them both & will pass along their names to friends interested in planning a cruise and/or vacation.

My mom and I were so pleased with our trip planned by Kirsten! We had the best time eating, drinking, and hiking our way through Italy! We were truly able to relax and enjoy each part of the trip because of all of the planning Kirsten did for us on the front end. Kirsten was attentive to our priorities and preferences but also used her expertise to ensure our trip was well-rounded. It was an amazing and memorable 10 days!

Kelli & Joe made our cruise one to remember! From our first contact with them they answered our questions promptly & guided us along our journey. This was our first cruise but definitely not our last. We look forward to booking our next cruise through them. Thank you for making our experience a positive one.
- Donna P.
We had a fantastic experience on the cruise! We didn’t know what to expect as this was our first cruise. Thank you so much for planning & arranging our itinerary. Your attention to details from the cruise to the excursions took a lot of stress away from us & is what made the cruise relaxing & fun. Thank you both for everything.
We’ll definitely be in touch with you when we are ready for our next cruise! Hopefully we’ll be able to travel again soon.

“Amazing trip! We lived the resort! The kids had a blast, lived the location! The nexus travel who picked us up was super slow and took forever to get us there but other than that we had a blast and everything went really smooth! Thank you so much for your help and recommendations!!”
- Jessica J.
Joe and Kellie are simply amazing!!! They found deals I would never have and saved me endless trouble and money. We even had to negotiate a southern hemisphere hurricane! Thank you for a great vacation!
- David M.
Known John for years, I always call him when it comes time for a cruise. I have personally recommended John to friends who have also booked with him.
Being new to cruising, I was so glad to have two professionals working to provide me with the best cruise experience. My goal was to get home to California from Italy by ship. Kellie and Joe arranged for this in the most spectacular way! My two cruises totaled forty-three days and included ports throughout the Mediterranean Sea, a crossing of the Atlantic, a visit to Florida and Columbia, transit through the Panama Canal, lovely warm (it was winter) ports up the Central American and Mexican coasts, and the final port in Los Angeles. The arrangements were perfect for me. I have already booked my next cruise with Kellie and Joe!
- Christine P.
Joe’s replies are always fast and we received lots of shipboard credit
Had an amazing trip to Europe with my wife, brother in law and sister in law! Everything was laid out for us from drivers to and from the airport and cruise ship, to the excursions and dinners.
- Stephen S.
I am beyond amazed at the amazing service Kellie and Joe have provided to us! We literally didn't have to do any work or research; Kellie and Joe did it all for us. From booking our flights to reserving our hotel rooms to sending us all the BEST stuff to do on our excursions, they are incredible. If you are going on a cruise, they are the ones to call!
- Alaisja R.
Kellie and Joe made our travel experience seamless from start to finish! They were patient and invested their energy to make sure we went on the trip we dreamed of. Thank you very much! Will definitely go to them for all future travels.
We had a wonderful trip. Dorothy was great! She organized everything, answered all of our questions, and included little touches that showed she cared. I highly recommend.
- Marjorie S.
This Upper Mississippi river cruise was awesome! There were no hiccups! Each city (port) had a free "loop" tour included. There were others, some free, some with a small fee. We did the National Park Arch tour, including riding to the top of the Arch in St. Louis $30. I looked down onto the Cardinals Busch Stadium - best seat in the house! Every city we could walk off, walk over the railroad tracks and tour nearby city life. the entire Mississippi River is lined with rail tracks. Trains are everywhere; and the length, on one I stopped counting the railcars at 101. This entire trip was enlightening as to how the river itself and the surrounding states contribute to our national survival; lots of farming - how does the grown grain make it to the Cheerio box and onto my local store shelf? Never thought about it. Barges, boats, tains
We went thru 25 locks with the largest dropping by over 40 feet. We went THROUGH railroad bridges over the water. Although too low to sail under, the track/bridge actually 'spins' 360 degrees to let the ship pass through and when the bridge is 'open' all the drinks in the city bars on both sides of the river are free!
Finally automatically assumed the mighty Mississippi River is the longest in the country - it's not; the Missouri, a tributary of the Mississippi is 200 feet longer!
This trip was that one that you'd never know, because you drive though or flew over.
- Eileen M.
Joe & Kellie booked a Colombia river cruise for us, which we had never done before. Joe did some research on the front end prior to us booking the cruise. Kellie was very great about communicating with us proir to the trip to ensure all was done in advance and that we had booked our tours, etc. The Colombia river cruise was lovely and the stops along the way and the tours we took were worth the time and money to do. Thanks for helping us have a great experience. I highly recommend Kellie and Joe for all your travel plans. They are true professionals!
- Kelly H.
What a fabulous adventure! Traveled throughout Portugal with a group of 6 in June 2023 - Hotels, group tours, inside tips, etc were wonderful! We came home fulfilled (and exhausted) Would recommend!!!
- Danita N.
We had a basic outline of what we wanted to do in Portugal. Kellie found us hotels right in the middle of where we needed to be, arranged wonderful tours with expert guides and made very helpful suggestions about activities. We had a fantastic trip and owe a lot of it to her expertise. Thanks so much!
- William M.
Wow!! This trip would not have been possible without the help of Kirsten! She truly kept everything organized, kept us on schedule and gave us realistic expectations and wonderful suggestions that lead to a trip of a lifetime. We are truly grateful for all the work she has done and will never forget the memories we made abroad! Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to plan a special trip! She was always quick to respond and made everything easy!!! Thank you Kirsten!
Joe and Kellie were extremely easy to work with and very helpful. They shared pertinent information early and promptly answered our questions as needed. They are very knowledgable on a wide range of travels options and adventures. We highly recommend them!
Everything was smooth and easy. From first starting to book, to getting all of our excursions handled, it was really easy.
Having Joe and Kellie Cereola find the right cruise for me, along with an excellent verandah cabin and onboard package, made this entire cruise experience the best I've ever had. Thank you Joe and Kellie for your knowledge, professionalism, and attention to the details that made my cruise such a joy!
Booking cruise with jellietravel.com has been a joy. Joe's and Kellie's knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail have made my cruise traveling a complete joy. Thank you Joe and Kellie Cereola!

Joe and Kellie always keep in touch and often find great discounts even after I’ve booked a trip which is really appreciated. I highly recommend them for your next adventure

We have booked two international family vacations with Kellie and Joe and we will not book any vacations without them. Kellie is so patient with all my changes and questions. Booking for a family of 5, all adults is not easy. Everyone wants to explore something different and dates are always changing before they are finally booked. Kellie never hesitates to deal with our ever changing dates and locations. She helped us book a 2 week travel through England and Ireland. Finding us airbnb's along the way, booking our rental cars and making suggestions for sites to visit. We would have been lost especially through Ireland without her. If we ran into any issues, Kellie was a phone call or email away. I feel more confident travelling international knowing I can lean on Kellie and Joe should we run into any issues. Thank you Kellie and Joe for always making our travels less stressful and more enjoyable. Can't wait to plan our 2023 travels with Kellie and Joe.
- Janice N.
This was a very special trip for the both of us, celebrating our birthdays together in the Bahamas. I want to Thank Kellie for making this a very smooth trip . The detailed plans laid out was so specific and detailed, easy to follow step by step. From beginning to end Very helpful. I have recommended your agency to family/friends.
Kellie and Joe are very knowledgeable and have been valuable in helping us plan our trips and making them unforgettable experiences.
Kellie and Joe made our cruise and land portion one we will remember always. They handled every issue including multiple pandemic cancellations in a way that we barely had to do anything. They were our lifeline before and during our amazing Mediterranean Cruise.
I'm never going on a cruise without a travel agent again! Joe and Kellie helped us set up a custom link so that my family and friends could book their tickets for our post-wedding cruise and I didn't have to add any extra stress to our wedding planning. Kellie also set us up with a private winery tour guide as well as sent us all our travel documents well in advance before the cruise so I didn't have to even print out our own tickets and luggage tags. What a great service. And of course, we had a blast. Thank you!!!
- Tian Y.
I loved working with Kirsten. She was prompt at getting back to me and gave us great recommendations. Both our trip to France and to Napa were amazing and I would highly recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much!
Kellie and Joe have arranged our last 2 vacations. 2 weeks Southern Italy before Covid hit and just recently 4 weeks in Portugal which included a 10 dayRiver Cruise starting in Rome and ending in Porto. Then she booked us 3 weeks in Lagos at an amazing location with spectacular views of the best beach in Lagos. Both Kellie and Joe took care of everything from flights, trains to southern Portugal, apartment etc. Both trips were wonderful especially since all the travel and accommodations were expertly arranged by Kellie! They both are fantastic at responding to emails and Questions within a day but usually within a couple hours. We returned from Portugal less than a week ago and are already planning our trip for next June with Kellie and Joe. Highly recommend Cruise Planners.
- Carol K.
Kirsten was absolutely great! She made this trip extra special.
It's such a pleasure working with Joe and Kellie. They are really on top of things and plan everything perfectly. Can't wait for my next adventure!
We had never been on a cruise. We contacted Joe and Kellie. They set up everything for us gave us great advice of what to see and do. If you ever want to plan a vacation they should be your first call.
- Arthur P.
From beginning to end, Kellie was there for our support. We could not have made it through the ups and down of cruising during the pandemic without jellietravel!
Kellie went out of her way to make sure that our trip went smoothly. She made multiple reservations for airlines and hotels for our extended trip and printed out a detailed itinerary for us. She was available to answer questions and help me with all aspects of our trip. I highly recommend Kellie and Cruise Planners!
I want to say Thank you Kellie for All your help in making our special occasion trip unforgettable. We had an amazing time and created Great memories.
Outstanding service and impeccable follow up by both Kelley and Joe. Do not hesitate to consult with them for your travel needs.
Fabulous cruise aboard the Celebrity Constellation! Thank you, Joe and Kellie, for helping us make this trip a reality!
- John S.
We were referred to Kellie and Joe by multiple family members that have worked with them in the past. They are amazing! I can't imagine having done our trip without them. They were accessible and helpful from planning all the way until the completion of the trip. They laid out close to a dozen different destination options for us when we were planning our honeymoon and even helped us book a fun excursion off of the resort. We will be working with them in the future for sure!
- Warren A.

I would recommend Joe and Kellie to book your next travel as they are very knowledgeable and professional. They love traveling and exploring new places too so they can help you with your travel needs!
- Kim T.
Joe and Kellie put together a trip for 3 couples to travel all around Italy. They met with us and gathered everybody's ideas, best dates and what everyone would like to see. They put together the best trip ever! From flights, travel from the airports, trains, tours, hotels, ideas for the best dinners. The trip was perfect and we all are not using Joe and Kellie to plan our next best ever trip in the near future. Thank you so so much!!!!!
- Kristine P.
I've used Joe & Kellie several times now for planning trips. They are great! They take care of everything - all I have to do is show up. And pay of course, LOL. But truly, using them to plan my travel makes it so much easier. I highly recommend them for your travel needs!
- Dorothy D.
I have booked 3 previous trips with Kellie & Joe. Each was so much better than expected. They both go above & beyond to help you plan your trip. I already have 2 more we are working on. I Highly recommend them more to help with any vacation you want to do! They are the best!!
- Charlotte H.
Joe and Kellie....as expected the cruise on the Harmony of the Seas was incredible. For the longest time I used to make all the plans and reservations myself. You've made a convert of me. Everything taken care of with explicit detail and care. No worries or concerns. All we had to do was show up and enjoy. Thanks again for a great job (again!) Can't wait for the next one!!!
- John S.
I recently worked with Kellie, who helped put together what I am sure will be a fabulous trip to Portugal with my daughter. As a part time tour leader myself, I appreciate Kellie's dedication to secure interesting, affordable and unique accommodations. She developed a trip for us the made the best use of our time and money. Always available by phone or email, she definitely listened to what we had in mind and customized the itinerary to meet our expectations. I highly recommend Cruise Planners and enjoyed working with them.
- Cynthia M.
I will never go on a group trip again without having Joe and Kellie plan it. They take care of everything, all you have to do is show up. Very pleasant to deal with and always responsive. I recommended them to all my family an friends. Looking forward to future trips together
- Walid Z.
Joe & Kellie did a fantastic job for my family's trip to Europe. The tour company we had booked with using another agency cancelled very late in the process, so most tours were booked. Kellie and Joe went to work and found us a better tour at a cheaper price. And they found terric options for side trips and accommodation. They managed everything and even called ahead during the trip to make sure transfers and hotels were expecting our arrival. They go above and beyond and we highly recommend them.
