Certified Cruise Counselor

I’m Cidnii Woods, founder of First Rate Travel. I’ve been in business since 2017, helping clients plan thoughtfully designed trips that feel seamless, well-paced, and worth the investment.

I specialize in group travel, cruises, and domestic and international itineraries for travelers who want expert guidance — not endless options or last-minute scrambling. As a Certified Cruise Counselor, I’m especially skilled at matching clients with the right ship, itinerary, and cabin based on how they actually travel, not just what looks good online.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by logistics, timing, or decision fatigue. My role is to handle the details, anticipate issues before they arise, and create a travel plan that feels organized and stress-free from start to finish.

Whether you’re planning a milestone trip, a group getaway, or a well-earned escape, I bring a calm, practical approach and clear communication throughout the process — so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about what you might be missing.

If you value professional planning, honest guidance, and a travel advisor who treats your trip like it matters (because it does), I’d love to work with you.
