Safety of our children ALWAYS comes first!
As one who spent many years in education (grad school was for my principal certification!), I understand children. As a mother to two teenagers who we started cruising before entering kindergarten, I have seen their phases of life while cruising firsthand and know it from the momma perspective. How can you entice your kids to enjoy and learn about Alaska (but know really know they are "learning"??). How can that hike on St John be used towards a Junior Ranger badge with the National Park Service? If you can't make it to the Great Barrier Reef, where can a family go for the second largest reef in the world to experience the marine life? Why is that bell chiming at an odd time in Nagasaki? How is the Amalia Glacier in South America (Chile) like the Glacier Bay National Park or the Norwegian Fjords experienced via a cruise ship? These are things I have experienced with my own children cruising to dozens of destinations around the world. My experiences help guide you in finding the best next cruise for YOUR family! #cruisebymandy I would love to chat with you! https://calendly.com/cruisebymandy/travel-talk

She did it again!
Reviewed By Cruisin Ann - Tomball, TX | Traveled to Roatan | Honduras | Central America
This was our second booking with Cruise by Mandy but won’t be our last! Her help with booking and finding us a better room with better rate after we were already booked is just the best example of going above and beyond!! Plus, this time she helped us with a name change the week of our departure….while she was on vacation with her family! She is truly the best!!

Fabulous February Break Cruise!
Reviewed By JennyAnne - Humble,TX | Traveled to Roatan | Honduras | Central America
Still floating on a post-cruise high because WOW… that trip was absolutely incredible. From the moment we booked to the last sunset at sea, everything was seamless, fun, and full of memories we will talk about forever.
Huge shoutout to Mandy @cruisebyMandy, our award-winning cruise specialist, who somehow always finds excellent pricing with the most phenomenal perks. We have booked several cruises with her, and every single one has been better than the last. Beautiful ships, unforgettable destinations, and experiences that feel way bigger than the price tag.
If making memories, relaxing hard, and feeling spoiled while traveling is your thing, Mandy is your girl. Already dreaming about the next one because clearly we are pros at this cruising thing now! ???????

First Disney Cruise!
Reviewed By Kendradc3 - McKinney, TX | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
Mandy was incredibly easy to work with and set up a call with me right away to answer all my questions and get us booked for the right cruise. She is very knowledgeable about ships and the industry in general. She selected our room for us in a prime location near the elevators - not only quick access for getting around on the ship, but we got so much love in our Fish Extender! It was our girls favorite part seeing what goodies our fellow cruisers left for them. We had an issue with our dining times not being the same as our connected party - Mandy called right away and set it straight, she also let us know she was on top of the issue and it was resolved before we embarked! She gave us great tips on meeting characters to ensure we weren't waiting for too long. Mandy is already working on our next Disney cruise for us! Highly recommend!

We just completed a 31-night cruise with Regal Princess.
We contacted Mandy as soon as we decided that wee would like to take this cruise. She immediately took care of everything we needed from that day, until embarkation. She arranged our reservation, transfers, and made several recommendations of places to visit while in port. She also gave us some invaluable tips regarding the Princess Transfer. :)
We have had Mandy schedule several of our cruises over the past many years, and she has handled everything with ease. She is super-professional and knowledgeable about the cruising & touring process.

Great trips to western Caribbean!
Reviewed By JA - Little Elm, Texas | Traveled to Roatan | Honduras | Central America
We are relatively new cruisers and just finished our second cruise in the last 8 weeks. First cruise was with our family - 10 people - and second cruise was just my spouse and me.
Mandy helped us with all the arrangements on the first cruise, room location, dinner times, shows not to miss, and was great about reminding us about making reservations when the windows opened. We had an excellent time and all the arrangements and recommendations provided by Mandy were spot on! Plus, we feel the cabin pricing through Mandy was excellent.
We signed up for our second cruise at the end of the first cruise. Again, Mandy was super-helpful selecting upgrades, room location and dinner options. We just finished this cruise and had another wonderful time. We will likely book another cruise soon and of course will book it through Mandy.

Fantastic trip to Canada and New England

We just recently returned from our trip to Canada and New England. Many thanks to Mandy for helping us have such a wonderful cruise. She always provides a ton of excellent advice and information so you can be prepared and ready for your entire trip. Her you tube videos highlight such important information. When I send her emails asking questions she almost always responds immediately. But if she should be unavailable, you get a return email stating exactly when she will be available and providing information on who you can contact should you need that help immediately.

My husband and I met Amanda many years ago in Cabo while on vacation. She was so friendly and gave us reviews of different hotels while she was there. At that time we learned about her career and a cruise expert. I never forgot about her. When we finally made the decision to try cruising out for the first time, I immediately called Mandy! She guided me every step of the way advising me of things I never would have thought of on my own. We got 4 cabins and paid way less than if I booked direct with the cruise line itself! Our Celebrity cruise was incredible and I came home to plan our next trip with her to hopefully Alaska for next summer. Thanks again Mandy, you made our trip one of the most memorable ever :)

Mandy was very helpful and knowledgeable. This was my first cruise as an adult and it was overwhelming for me. Mandy had many helpful emails and videos and was always there to answer any questions. She booked us great rooms and set us up in a great location for our nightly dining. I would highly recommend her.

Reviewed By Jana P. - Springtown, TX | Traveled to Nassau ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Amanda helped us plan our last cruise and we are now in the process of the next three cruises with her assistance. She helped me plan a little surprise for my husbands birthday and always gives the best advice. She keeps her clients on schedule and always has their best interests at heart. She is not just an agent at this point, she is a good friend. I refer everyone to her that is planning a cruise. Thank you Mandy!

Repeat customer since 2008
Reviewed By Melisa - DFW, TX | Traveled to Caribbean
Before Mandy was your cruise expert, she was always my travel information expert - started in 2008 with my first trip to St John.
Her research and knowledge of the places she has been and boats she has been on is immeasurable but her attention to detail and easy accessibility is what makes her my favorite travel expert.

Excellent knowledge of all kinds of cruises!
Reviewed By Beth - Sealy, TX | Traveled to Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I just finished my first cruise through Mandy. Mandy was very knowledgeable when I was trying to make a reservation for a short cruise for my sister and me. I welcomed her opinions and ideas for what we would like. She got us a good deal and our room, when they assigned it, was a little of an upgrade!
I’ve made another trip reservation with Mandys help for later next summer. I did enjoy working with Mandy, she’s very responsive via email and our phone call to have a little quicker interaction worked out good too.
Oh, and her recommendation of where to park was excellent!
