About Barb Kaufman

After working in the travel industry for many years, talking about travel and actually traveling ourselves, we have taken the next step. We are ready and excited to help you find a vacation that will give you memories for the rest of your life. 


Cruise Planners® was founded in 1994 by Michelle Fee along with two travel industry veterans in Coral Springs, FL. Since then, the company has spread Cruisitude® around the world. A major reason for our success is that we're founded by travel professionals. When Michelle started Cruise Planners®, she was a travel agent and a young mother who had a passion for travel and a drive for success.


The founding partners knew what it took to run a successful travel agency and wanted to impart their knowledge. That seed blossomed into what Cruise Planners is today: the nation’s largest home-based travel agent franchise network with more than 2,000+ franchise owners; an American Express Travel Representative that leverages one of the world’s most trusted brands to offer customers the best travel deals and amenities available; and above all, experienced professionals who love to travel and are excited to share that love with the world.

Barbara simply takes care of her customers. She stays in touch pre cruise and sends a packet with all important information well before departure. Just the best and I share her contact with all my friends and family. Traveling is much more seamless with such a great agent. - Peggy P.

Great experience - helpful and knowledgeable planners! Overall, I would highly recommend. - Mark K.
everything went very smoothly: flights were all on time. Wheelchairs were waiting Richard coming and going. The hotel was good, next time we get a room Richard would like a handicap room which would be easier for him to get in and out of the shower. - Richard R.
Barb helped us plan an unforgettable vacation. We will be using her for all our future travel adventures I’ve told everyone about her - Rachael W.

Barb was so great to work with! She guided me through the travel planning process for our ten day trip to England and Scotland like a pro! I was so thankful for her knowledge and patience. I would definitely use her expertise again! - Kelly V.
The trip went off without a hitch, Barb did everything possible to make sure we had no problems.
Barb- You did a perfect job planning our flights, pre-stay in Seattle, and our cruise. One of the biggest highlights for us was flying in first class round trip. We don't know how you pulled that one off, but it was fabulous. The flights went off without a hitch. Now we are spoiled! The Paramount hotel was also a winner in Seattle. There were a lot of eating places around our hotel that were easy to get to. Our room on board the Ovation was very nice. We had a glitch with our whale excursion which was frustrating, but that had nothing to do with your planning. Thank you for following up with us after we landed in Denver. Thank you so much for everything Barb. - Dixie J.
This will be the third cruise booked through here. B?arb Kaufman is the vacation planner I use and she is absolutely amazing. Works very hard to get everything you need or want on your vacation. The first trip was a cruise with my elderly father. He has some mobility problems and she worked do hard to make sure all of the accommodations that he needed were met and more. She even went the extra mile and met us at my dads house for all our meetings. There are so many great things I could say about her but this little statement wouldn't be to little.
We had a amazing time on our vacation and having someone else plan everything for us made it so much less stressful!
We definately would recommend Barb for your next travel experience. She is professional, thorough and a pleasure to work with. She listened to our needs and added suggestions that enhanced our experience.
Barb chose the perfect vacation for my family. She takes care of all of the details! We didn’t have a worry, and the resort was a dream!
Barb was fantastic! She helped us book early, then let us know about 3 weeks out that there was a better rental deal so helped cancel and rebook for the better rate! Then helped us navigate the insurance options and select just the right one! Very helpful and it took so much stress off my full plate!
Barb is great. She thinks of everything we might need and gets us the best deal.
Hi Barb. Can't thank you enough for helping to arrange our 60th Anniversary family cruise. The kids all had a ball. They were somewhat apprehensive initially, but once in Portland, they all, to a person, were excited and ready to board. They took full advantage, as we did also, of the excursions and loved the ship (American West). They are ready to go on a cruise again. Thank you!
Barb was great when she booked our trip to Ireland.
Barb was great!
Barb always makes traveling easy. She makes sure everything is in order and she always finds us the best deals!
We were first-time travelers and Barb was amazing! She was very informative and patient and we are VERY grateful for all of her help in planning our amazing vacation!
Barb was amazing, professional and helpful. I asked her for specifics and she made it happen!
Barb is very thorough and thinks of every detail. She makes herself very available to her clients.
Barb was so incredibly helpful in helping us plan this trip! Thank you so much!
Barb was great. The airlines are a mess right now and Barb found the best options for us. She guided me through everything. I've always done everything on my own but having Barb as my agent, I'll never do it on my own again.
Barb was very helpful and stepped us through everything as we hadn’t traveled for a couple years internationally. She was a text or a phone call away through the whole process!
This is one the best trips we have ever been on. We appreciate everything Barb did for us. We look forward to booking with her in the future.
Barb and Lance Kaufman did an amazing job of planning our vacation. All bases were covered, we stressed about nothing. Besides the cruise, Barb booked hotel rooms, flights, even the seats on the flights. I highly recommend booking through Barb. - David R.
