About Me

View of Star of the Seas from Up Up & Away
View of Star of the Seas from Up Up & Away

Ocean cruising is one of the most relaxing and rewarding ways to see the world, and it’s easy to understand why. There’s something special about waking up to the sound of waves and stepping out the balcony with the beautiful ocean views. Each morning guests arriving in a new destination . My favorite part is seeing multiple destinations while only unpacking once! Whether you’re sailing through the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, exploring the natural wonders of Alaska, experiencing the rich history and cuisine of the Mediterranean, or crossing the Atlantic on a grand voyage, an ocean cruise offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

What makes ocean cruising magical is the variety. You might spend one day snorkeling alongside tropical fish in Mexico, the next exploring cobblestone streets in San Juan, and the day after simply soaking up the sunshine at the pool all while enjoying the nigh time entertainment. There is something to do for all ages and types of travel - from a cruise filled with pampering at the spa to one with zip lines and ice skaing onboard. There’s an ocean cruise itinerary that’s just right for you and your travel party.

With so many cruise lines and ships to choose from, finding the one that fits your personality, pace, and priorities can feel a bit overwhelming. That’s where I come in. Having crusied more times than I can count, I know first-hand the joy of exploring island after island by sea. I bring that passion and knowledge to every trip I plan, helping you choose the ship, itinerary, and experiences that fit your vision of the perfect vacation.From intimate luxury ships to exciting mega-liners, from family-friendly fun to adults-only serenity, ocean cruising truly offers something for everyone. And the best part? Every detail can be taken care of for you, so you can simply step on board and enjoy the journey.

This was our 30th anniversary cruise
Reviewed By Ron&ChristyL - Imperial, Pa. | Traveled to Nassau ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Lindsey was wonderful with us, She answered our texts, calls and emails. She answered our questions no matter how if we think they are important or not important. We mentioned to Linsey that we wanted to be on a cruise ship on January 29th. She made everything happen for us. My husband and I loved working with her.

Most Memorable trip!
Reviewed By RC - Kennesaw, GA | Traveled to Caribbean
We have just returned from a family cruise vacation on Royal Caribbean planned by Lindsey at Markwood Magic. The planning was so simple and stress-free. She was available to answer questions anytime we had them (even the smallest of requests or questions). Our kids are ages 11 and 7 and the cruise was a great option for us. My favorite part of the trip was seeing the kids try new foods, experience fine dining, boogie boarding and so much more. It was a very memorable vacation! I highly recommend Lindsey Markwood Magic for any travel plans. She is very detailed and thorough with tip sheets and bookings. 5 stars from me.

She’s your answer to family vacations
Reviewed By Sherisse - New York, NY | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
I just can’t speak highly enough about Lindsey honestly at this point, she just feels like a member of our family.

We originally booked at Club Med Punta Cana with her and got a last minute email saying it was cancelled because of the hurricane. Lindsey was on top of it. She booked us in Miches in the most wonderful room for our family.

The baby and kids club was sensational for my little ones and we couldn’t believe we finally had found a family vacation where we actually had a vacation. Time with my husband during the day and family time in the morning and afternoons.

No matter what little things we needed assistance with, Lindsey was on it. She took all the stress out of our trips. She goes beyond what I expected and for that, she’s our go to.

As soon as we got back, we booked again through her for yet another perfect vacation.

I feel like she’s an exhausted families answer to taking vacations. I can’t recommend her enough! She’s the BEST!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Infinite Oceanview Balcony on Star of the Seas

Standard Balconies vs. Infinite Balconies

Royal Caribbean introduced infinite balconies on its Icon class ships including Icon of the Seas, Star of the Seas, Legend of the Seas, and Hero of the Seas.  Onboard Star of the Seas I have stayed in both an infinite ocean view balcony and an infinite central park balcony.  One of the question I get asked a lot from my clients is ...
