Cruise, Solo and Group Specialist
I specialize in Cruise, Solo and Group Travel. I have personally cruised on eight different cruise lines so far, including Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America, MSC, Norwegian, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and Virgin Voyages. Of the 40 cruises I have taken, 17 have been solo adventures. I recently completed my very first accompanied group cruise with 59 other guests on the Carnival Jubilee, and it was an enormous success. Cruising is my passion, and I enjoy assisting solo travelers as well as planning voyages for groups.

As an Air Force veteran, I am no stranger to travel.
Early in my military career, I got to travel for about a year as an entertainer, singing and dancing my way around the world...twice. The lessons I learned in that time have been priceless and invaluable to shaping the rest of my c...Read More ▶

▶Cruising is my Passion
As a 29-year Air Force veteran, I was blessed to live overseas and to travel to more than 50 countries and every state of the Union. I believe travel is essential. What do I mean by that? Travel helps us gain insight and perspective; it helps us appreciate what we have. It teaches us we are not a...Read More ▶

Why Try Solo Travel?
▶Why Try Solo Travel?
In January of 2022, I took my very first solo adventure on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas out of Galveston, TX. I was a little apprehensive at first, but because I love cruising so much and want to be able to cruise multiple times in a year, I needed to be open to the prospect of voyagi...Read More ▶

The Best Agent -The Best Cruise Experience
Reviewed By OneHappyCamper - San Antonio | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Manny is awesome! She made the entire cruise planning journey stress free. She went above and beyond to ensure the cruise experience was a fun and memorable one. She was always prompt in returning our calls or sending us a text the rare times she was not available... An "A" rated professional! She answered all our questions to our satisfaction. She has a great deal of personal experience when it comes to cruising and that made a significant difference as she helped us plan. We have been on many cruises before, but this was the BEST CRUISE EXPERIENCE EVER!
I would and will not hesitate to refer my friends to her when they decide it’s time to cruise. Thanks, Manny!

Our First Cruise!
Reviewed By shammazon78 - Crownsville, MD | Traveled to Mahogany Bay ~ Honduras ~ Central America
I recently embarked on an incredible cruise from Galveston to Mexico and Honduras, and it was nothing short of amazing! This was our first cruise and it doubled as a reunion for TIB, a prestigious entertainment group in the USAF. I hadn't seen my fellow members in 25 years, and this trip provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable reunion.
A special shoutout goes to our agent, Manuela Henning, who was extremely helpful with our bookings and provided invaluable advice that made our trip smooth and hassle-free. Their recommendations ensured that we made the most of our time and enjoyed all the fantastic offerings of the ship and destinations. Talk about above and beyond!
Overall, this cruise was a delightful experience filled with fun, laughter, and rekindled friendships. My family had an absolute blast, and we truly enjoyed every moment of our trip. I highly recommend a cruise on the Carnival Jubilee for anyone looking to have an incredible vacation!

It Doesn’t Get Any Better
Reviewed By Miguel Night - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to Mexico
Above and beyond! I don’t even know where to begin. From Zoom meetings, recorded Zoom meetings, phone meetings, etc, Manny met all my cruise and travel needs and answered all my questions. I can go on. She is the best and comes with my highest recommendation. I don’t want anyone else booking my future cruises.

My Travel Stories
I Sailed with Seven Cruise Lines in a Year!
Maybe it was a pent up need to travel again after almost two years. Or perhaps it's because I decided to pursue a career in the travel industry. I think it was that little voice inside me saying, hey...life is too short...if not now, then when?
I set out to take more cruises in 2022 than ever before; 13 cruises by end of year, 10 of w...
