About Me

Highland Cattle Scotland

Cruising is undeniably one of my favorite ways to explore the world. The blend of onboard activities and waking up in a new destination is simply exhilarating!

In December 2021, we embarked on a Very Merry Time Christmas cruise with Disney Cruise Line from Galveston, Texas. The festive atmosphere onboard was truly magical, offering families a delightful holiday experience without the post-celebration cleanup hassle.

June 2022 saw us sailing with Princess Cruise Line to Alaska from San Francisco, a journey highlighted by the enchanting passage under the Golden Gate Bridge. The impeccable service onboard complemented the awe-inspiring beauty of Alaska, compelling us to plan our next adventure in September 2022 with Holland America. Anchorage land tour for a few days of exploration before we concluded our voyage in Vancouver. In Vancouver we visited to attractions like the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Granville Island.

 

A Pacific Coast cruise fit the bill for our November 2023 Thanksgiving Holiday plans. There is something magical about being onboard a ship and getting into the holiday spirit!

River cruises with Tauck in 2023 Dutch Waterways and with AmaWaterways on the Southeast Gems itinerary solidified my confidence that river cruising is for everyone.  Next up the Rhine River onboard AmaWaterways!

Our 2019 voyage with Disney Cruise Line to the British Isles remains a cherished memory. Departing from Dover, England, we traversed the stunning landscapes of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, captivated by the impeccable service, captivating shows, and remarkable destinations.Disney Cruise Line stands out as our preferred choice for multi-generational travel, offering something for everyone to enjoy.

We've also indulged in the intimate luxury of Princess Cruises, opting for a Tahitian Princess experience for our honeymoon—a truly unforgettable journey.

The essence of cruising lies in discovering the perfect destination for you. With myriad choices available, my role is to assist you in selecting the itinerary that aligns with your desires and interests. Whether you seek pristine beaches or rich historical sites, there's a cruise experience tailored to your preferences.Our British Isles voyage left an indelible mark on us, with each family member finding something to cherish. From archaeological wonders in Trim Castle to the marvels of the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland, every moment was filled with awe and wonder.It would be my pleasure to help you create unforgettable memories, whether by sea or river. With countless options available, let's find the perfect cruise experience for you.

Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible! She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! while on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue fir Star Wars Rise of the Resistance!

Disney World
We worked with Andrea on a trip to Disney World as a family trip and added bonus of our 2 year old's birthday to see Mickey! Andrea provided many updates over the time planning this while Disney was constantly changing their policies. She kept us in the loop of important booking dates and gave us suggestions on things our family might enjoy based on our preferences. She made booking this trip simple when Disney is known for being time consuming and detailed. Thanks to Nicole we ended up with a little more rain and wind than anticipated. Andrea checked in with us before the trip, before the storm came, and again during to make sure we were all OK and aware. We appreciate her taking the time to check up on us even on the trip!
