Plan the Cruise Vacation of a Lifetime

It’s time for you to set sail on a Caribbean cruise that mixes flawless beaches and private paradises, relax as you watch the beautiful Alaska sunrise peak over a glacier, and snap a photo of spectacular architecture as you travel on a European River Cruise!

Whether planning your honeymoon, family vacation or group getaway, I can find the cruise that fits your budget and is perfectly tailored to your needs. There are several ship atmospheres to choose from including ones that boast family fun, have non-stop action & adventure, or emphasize the luxury of the finest cuisine and onboard entertainment.

Along with expert guidance and dedication to customer service, I can easily arrange your cruise, shore activities, tours and air transportation, so you’ll be all set to kick back and enjoy.

What’s Included in the Price of a Cruise?

Your accommodations, entertainment, activities, meals and transportation to picturesque destinations all conveniently included in the price of your cruise. In fact, cruises are ranked as one of the top vacation experiences because they provide travelers with the best value. With pools, around the clock entertainment and live shows, spa and fitness centers, shops, and more bars and restaurants than you can count; there’s always something to keep you busy on your cruise.

Tips for a Stress-Free Flight Experience:

When in doubt, arrive early.

The last thing you want is to be running to catch your plane. Based on your airport and flight times, I can help you by making suggestions on necessary airport arrival times. And don’t underestimate the time you’ll need for connecting flights! With many large airports, you’ll need to consider the time it takes to navigate to your gate.

Know the carry-on restrictions.

Save time when going through security by keeping in mind these important requirements for carry-ons:

• Ensure all of your liquids or gels are in 3 ounce or smaller containers (more than 3oz permitted in checked baggage).

• Place those containers in a 1 quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag.

• Place 1 bag only per traveler in the security bin for screening.

Also, be sure to check the maximum carry-on luggage sizes–they vary based on the specific airline!

Track your flight.

While no one wants to experience cancellations or delays, with weather conditions and unpredictable mechanical issues, it’s always a good idea to stay-up-to-date. Along with airline apps, I can also recommend other apps and alerts to help you stay informed about your flight schedule.

Layers, layers, layers.

Since you don’t know how warm or cold it will be on the plane, be sure to wear layers so you can effortlessly adjust to changing temperatures. A scarf can double as a blanket or even a pillow. Also, be sure to wear comfortable shoes that are easy to remove at security.
