Cruise Specialist | Master Cruise Counselor (MCC)

Hi, I'm Gayle—your trusted Cruise Specialist and a CLIA Master Cruise Counselor (MCC).

Cruising isn’t just a vacation—it’s a lifestyle, a passion, and for many of my clients, the perfect way to explore the world with ease and comfort. Whether you’re dreaming of sailing the Caribbean, discovering the charm of Europe by river, or experiencing an immersive land-and-sea cruise tour, I’m here to help you navigate it all with clarity and confidence.

My journey into the world of cruising began long before I became a Travel Advisor. I’ve personally sailed on multiple cruise lines and ship classes—from the exciting mega-ship adventures with Royal Caribbean to the elegance of river cruises with Avalon and AmaWaterways. Each sailing deepened my appreciation for the unique personality of each cruise line, ship, and itinerary—and gave me insight into what makes a cruise truly memorable.

That insight is exactly what I bring to my clients today. As a Cruise Specialist with the Master Cruise Counselor (MCC) accreditation from Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), I’ve completed extensive training, ship inspections, and firsthand sailings to earn this prestigious designation. It represents my commitment to ongoing education and delivering expert-level guidance to my clients.

My specialty includes:

• Ocean cruises on trusted lines like Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Virgin Voyages, Disney Cruise Line, and Carnival
  
  
• Luxury and small-ship experiences perfect for couples or empty nesters looking for a more refined, personalized journey
  
  
• River cruises with top-tier lines like Avalon Waterways and AmaWaterways, offering immersive experiences in destinations like the Danube, Rhine, and beyond
  
  
• Cruise tours that combine the best of land and sea, including bucket-list destinations like Alaska, Europe, or the South Pacific

What sets me apart is how I approach each booking: not just as a transaction, but as a personalized experience designed just for you. I take time to understand your travel style, priorities, and preferences—because the best cruise for one person might not be the right fit for another. From choosing the perfect itinerary and stateroom category to explaining onboard perks and arranging shore excursions, I’m here to make sure every detail is covered before you ever step on board.

My clients often tell me they felt like VIPs the moment they boarded their ship—and that’s no accident. I believe in creating not just stress-free vacations, but elevated experiences that make you feel pampered, valued, and excited to travel again.

So whether it’s your first cruise or your fiftieth, I’d love to be your guide in the world of cruising. Let’s turn your vacation dreams into a voyage of a lifetime—one that’s thoughtfully planned, perfectly matched to your interests, and unforgettable from start to finish.
