About Me

 Hi, I’m Alexx—a certified travel advisor with a passion for helping curious travelers and cruise lovers experience one of the world’s most iconic and awe-inspiring feats of engineering: the Panama Canal. Whether you’re sailing in modern luxury with Celebrity Cruises, embracing thrilling adventures with Royal Caribbean, or adding a touch of magic with Disney Cruise Line, I specialize in making your cruise through the canal seamless, personalized, and truly unforgettable.Sailing through the Panama Canal isn’t just another itinerary—it’s a moving, once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with history, beauty, and wonder. I’ve personally cruised through the Panama Canal’s legendary locks, witnessing the mechanical marvel of ships rising and lowering as they pass between oceans. I’ve enjoyed serene mornings on my balcony watching mist rise over the rainforest, marveled at the engineering of the Gatun Locks, and listened to expert commentary as we transited this remarkable passageway. It’s a journey that blends the natural world with human achievement, and it deserves thoughtful planning to make the most of every moment.Along the way, I’ve explored vibrant ports like Cartagena, Colombia, with its colorful colonial charm; Colón, Panama, where cultural depth meets coastal beauty; and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, a favorite for its sun, scenery, and spirit. These cruises aren’t just about the canal—they’re about discovering destinations that many travelers miss, soaking in rich experiences both on board and on shore.From helping you understand the difference between full and partial transits, to selecting the best cruise line, stateroom type, and season to sail, I’ll guide you through every detail. Whether you’re interested in a repositioning cruise, a one-way voyage from coast to coast, or a roundtrip itinerary that includes a canal crossing, I’ll help you navigate the options, choose the right excursions, and plan every aspect with confidence.These are longer, more immersive cruises that require more than just a quick booking—they require insight, timing, and a little bit of magic to get it just right. That’s where I come in.Let’s plan your bucket-list cruise through the Panama Canal—because adventure, luxury, and a front-row seat to history are waiting for you just beyond the locks.

First family Disneyland trip
Reviewed By Cathy Lagomarsino - California | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
We had a great time!!! Thank you for all your work on our behalf and the patience you had with our endless questions. The hotel was great - we were able to get connecting rooms. The proximity to the Parks was easily walkable. The staff was friendly. The Lightening Lane aspect of our ticket package allowed us to ride so many more rides (some multiple times) than we expected despite the large Spring Break crowds that were in attendance. We would definitely get that again! We enjoyed the dinner reservation you made for us at Great Maple was perfect - there were 10 of us for dinner including 3 children and the place was perfect for our families gathering - it was so nice to meet up with close friends that live in the area. We also ate at Blue Bayou in Disneyland and Wine Country Trattoria in California Adventure. It was nice to sit for a meal and plan the rest of the day. Jennifer and our son Brian (who joined us) were able to use the Disney app to order food, make reservations an

The best Universal trip!
Reviewed By Caitlin Hakes - Houston Texas | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
We had the best experience working with Alex’s on our Universal Orlando trip. She listened to the things that mattered most to us and created different options of where we could stay. We ended up choosing to go to the Royal Pacific and we were blown away! The shuttle option made the most sense for us and helped us skip long rental car lines, as well as avoiding overnight parking. Our family of 7 enjoyed both Universal parks by day and the beautiful hotel pools by night. We had the vacation of our dreams, without any stress in the planning. We will Definitely work with Alexx again, it was the best decision we made!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
