Kathy,
We have been so busy since returning from out Honeymoon.  We shopped in Key West and took a private tour of the Bahamas and bought a day pass for Atlantis!  We had sooo much fun on the ship.  Bought some pics and made great friendships with our dinner table.  Thank you so much for taking care of everything.  We will definitely be taking the girls next summer.  Thinking about an Alaskan Cruise.. somewhere warm of course.
Thank you for the Honeymoon Cake.. we ate on it all week.. It was huge!
For your customer feedback:  The fascination is a great ship for teenagers…and little ones.  they had alot of activties for them and the water park on the deck was pretty impressive.. the slide was Fast. 
 
Thanks so much!

Kathy,
 
We had so much fun on our cruise! It was the best vacation by far. Thank you so much for finding us this and I am sure you will hear from us in the future. Everything went smooth with check-in and out. The ports were great and it is a good experience for everyone to see at least once I think. The boat and shows were amazing, never a free minute! Once again, thank you so much. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to speak with you or your husband befroe we left but I was working like a dog trying to get everything ready. I hated we had to come back home to reality but another cruise is calling our name!
 
Thanks!

Planning a cruise might seem like a frightening endeavor if you are a first time cruiser. My mom and I wanted to go on a cruise together but we were concerned about going by ourselves and getting into trouble. Fortunately, we met the Tri Cities expert cruise planner, Kathy Kennedy. With Kathy pulling the strings and helping us plan, it was no longer scary but became a fun experience. We didn’t have to worry about being alone because Kathy puts together group tours and she even came along on our cruise to the Western Caribbean. We boogied on down to Miami on Maxwell Coach and we had a rocking good time as Charles and Linda and Kathy did their best to keep us all entertained. When we got to the port, Mom and I were so glad that Kathy was always nearby watching over us. She kept us out of panic mode and made sure we made it safely onboard the ship. During the cruise she worked diligently to make sure that everything went smoothly. So if you want to go on a cruise without all the worries, I would highly recommend Kathy Kennedy with Cruise Planners. She will make everything as special as she possibly can so that you can have the trip of a lifetime.

I meant to drop you an email, but hadn’t gotten around to it yet.  I have no words to describe this trip!!  This was absolutely the best trip that I have ever been on!!  Everything was better than I expected and the boarding process went very smoothly.  In fact, we were much better prepared than we probably needed to be!  The ship was fantastic and there was lots to do, lots to eat, etc.  The service was fantastic and the food was unbelievable.  Even some of my hard-to-please band parents were blown away!  In fact, during dinner the last night, I had some parents almost cry because they didn’t want it to be over!  The waiters were entertaining with magic tricks, dancing, etc. and went above and beyond what was necessary!  Some of our group that complained about the $40.00 gratuity ended up leaving the waiters and the room stewards an extra tip because the service was so outstanding!  Some of our group was actually surprised at the size of the cabins; they were bigger than they thought they’d be.  The stewards called people by name, and that just amazed us!  My son purchased a soda card and it was only $13.00, which was a big surprise.  The cocktails were a bit pricey, but we got to keep the souvenir containers that they came in. (I got a coconut that was designed to be used as a piggy bank)  The shows were great and we had some parent volunteers that participated in some of the comedy shows… which were hilarious.  The weather was perfect and the both Freeport and Nassau were awesome.  Many of my students went snorkeling and some even went on the Segue (sp?) tour.  I cannot say enough about this trip.  Every last person in our group had the time of their lives and many say that they can’t wait to go on another cruise.  Thanks so much for everything that you did to help us organize this trip.  It was
fabulous in every way!

Great Trip!

Great trip…everyone had a wonderful time.  Thanks for the champagne!  It was a wonderful way to start the trip.  I’m sure some of these “first timers will cruise again…they loved it!  We’ll be sure that they call you to book for them.

The hotel in Kingsland worked out great.  Mr. Patel was very helpful and had everything ready when we arrived that night.

Again……thanks a million!!!!! It was a stress free trip for me as well and I really needed the break!
