About Me

If you’re ready to sail the biggest, boldest ships at sea—I’m ready to help you find the perfect cruise for your next vacation! I have extensive experience booking and traveling with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. I’ve been on multiple ships, including the newest Oasis and Icon Class ships—and cannot wait to share all the fun on-board with you!

I’ve sailed as adults-only, with friends, with extended family, with my kids, and have personal experience with their top tier suite class—Star Class. If you’re looking to treat your family to the ultimate cruise experience, this is it!

I’ll help you figure out which sailing, Stateroom, and Category are best for your family.  We’ll work together to plan all the details like excursions, pre-cruise stays, and transfers.  I’m here every step of the way for your questions, and truly want you to have an amazing sailing!

Heather Made My 50th Birthday Celebration Unforgettable
Reviewed By AprilH - Glen Ellyn, IL | Traveled to Mexico
Working with Heather to plan my 50th birthday trip to Mexico with my two best girlfriends was an absolute pleasure. We had spent countless hours researching all-inclusive resorts and trying to find the perfect fit for all three of us, but Heather accomplished in a day what we couldn't do in weeks. She listened to what each of us wanted and found the perfect resort that checked every box. Since we were traveling from two different locations, she also coordinated all of our airport transfers, making the arrivals and departures completely seamless and stress-free. Every detail was handled, which allowed us to simply enjoy the trip. The resort exceeded our expectations, and we had an incredible time celebrating together. Heather took all the hard work and guesswork out of planning and made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. I highly recommend Heather for any vacation planning needs—she truly made my milestone birthday celebration unforgettable!
