Cruising is more than a vacation. It’s an experience.
From choosing the right cruise line and ship to finding the itinerary, cabin, and pre- or post-cruise plans that fit you, I bring firsthand cruising experience to every trip I help plan.
Not every cruise line, ship, or itinerary is right for every traveler. I’ll help you compare the options based on how you like to travel and what you want from your vacation.
Find the cruise that fits you.
Sun-soaked islands, beautiful beaches, and plenty of itinerary choices make the Caribbean a favorite for both first-time and experienced cruisers.

Glaciers, wildlife, dramatic scenery, and unique ports make Alaska a cruise experience unlike anywhere else.

Cruise planning from start to finish
Choosing the right cruise line & ship — I’ll help narrow down the options based on your travel style, priorities, and budget.
Comparing itineraries & sailing dates — We’ll look at ports, sea days, timing, and the overall experience—not just the price.
Selecting the right cabin — Inside, oceanview, balcony, or suite: I’ll help you understand the differences and choose what makes sense for you.
Pre- & post-cruise stays — I can help coordinate hotels and extra time before or after your sailing.
Flights, rental cars & transportation — I can help bring the pieces around your cruise together so the trip flows smoothly.
Firsthand cruise guidance — You’ll get practical tips and recommendations based on real cruising experience, not just what’s written in a brochure.
Make the Most of Every Port
The cruise is only part of the adventure. I can help you think through what to do in port, from cruise-line excursions and private tours to exploring independently.
Cruise-Line Excursions — Convenient options booked directly through the cruise line, often with added peace of mind around timing.
Independent Tours & Experiences — Smaller groups, local guides, and unique experiences can sometimes offer a more personal way to explore.
DIY Port Days — In walkable ports, sometimes the best plan is simply knowing what’s nearby and how to make the most of your time ashore.
Because I’ve visited many cruise ports myself, I can share firsthand tips on what worked for us, what I’d do again, and when I’d choose an organized excursion instead.
Cruise Lines I Know Well
Every cruise line has its own personality. These are two I know especially well from firsthand experience.
Celebrity Cruises
A more elevated cruise experience with beautiful ships, great dining, and thoughtful service. I can help you compare ships, itineraries, cabin options, and what makes Celebrity different.
Royal Caribbean
A great choice for travelers who want plenty to do onboard, especially families and multigenerational groups. I can help you find the ship and itinerary that best fit your group.
