Family Cruise & Theme Park Travel Expert 

I've been helping families turn vacation dreams into lifelong memories since 2014, and after more than a decade in the industry I still believe in the same thing I did on day one — that purposeful travel leaves footprints far beyond the shore.

What I Specialize In 

As a Certified Travel Advisor (CTA) with specialized certifications in Disney, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, and Universal, I bring deep expertise to every itinerary I plan. Whether your family is dreaming of a Caribbean cruise over the holidays, a first-time Disney World adventure, or an unforgettable Alaska sailing, I know these experiences inside and out — and I keep my certifications current every single year.

Who I Work With 

I specialize in family travel — from first-time cruisers figuring out where to start, to multi-generational families coordinating a big group trip. If you're a parent trying to plan something that works for kids of all ages, or grandparents wanting to create something magical for the whole family, you've found the right advisor. As a mom of 5 and grandmother of 7, I don't just plan family vacations — I live them.

Destinations & Experiences I Plan

  • Caribbean cruises — Royal Caribbean, Norwegian & Disney Cruise Lines
  • Alaska — Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian & Disney Cruise Lines 
  • Walt Disney World & Disneyland vacations
  • Universal Orlando and Hollywood Resort
  • River cruises worldwide

How I Work With You 

From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I'm with you every step of the way. I take the time to understand what matters most to your family — your budget, your travel style, and the experiences you're hoping for — and then handle every detail so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

Q: I've never cruised before — where do I even start?  A: That's exactly where I love to help. I specialize in planning first-time cruise vacations for families and will walk you through everything from choosing the right ship and itinerary to what to pack and what to expect on embarkation day.

Q: Do you plan trips for large family groups?  A: Absolutely. Multi-generational travel and group cruise bookings are a specialty of mine. I help coordinate stateroom configurations, dining, and activities so everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — has the trip of a lifetime.

Ready to start planning? Let's talk about where your family's next adventure should take you.

BEST 50th Wedding Celebration!!!
Reviewed By Mama of the multitude - Central Point, OR | Traveled to Caribbean
We wanted a destination vacation celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and their spouses. Jacquelin presented us with many options, giving the pros and cons. In the planning she was especially helpful, giving us updates every few days of items we needed to decide upon. She helped each of us (19!) complete requirements for our medallions and we had them in our possession before boarding. It made the complexities of going on a cruise so much easier!
We went on an Eastern Caribbean cruise with a preliminary day at Disney World before the cruise. It was the perfect vacation. We enjoyed the companionship of our children each evening at dinner, hearing their adventures of the day. Everyone was free to choose the activities that interested them most. A memory of a lifetime!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Reunion on the Seas
