About Me

Cruising to the Panama Canal
Cruising to the Panama Canal

14 cruises sailed and counting—with two more already planned! Cruising is one of my favorite ways to travel and explore the world.I’ve sailed with Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, Princess Cruises, and Norwegian Cruise Line, giving me firsthand experience with several of the most popular cruise lines.

I’ve also completed training with these cruise lines and earned Commodore status through the Princess Cruises training program.One of the things I love most about cruising is the ability to visit multiple destinations in one vacation without constantly packing and unpacking. You unpack once and let the ship take you from one amazing destination to the next.

Cruises offer something for everyone—from incredible dining and entertainment to comedy shows, relaxing on deck, visiting the casino, or enjoying a spa day. At each port, you can choose guided shore excursions or explore on your own.Through cruising,

I’ve visited many destinations including numerous Caribbean islands, the Panama Canal, and the Mexican Riviera. I’ve also sailed the Mediterranean with stops in Barcelona, France, Italy, Malta, Greece, and Croatia.While every destination offers something unique, I especially love the Caribbean for its warm weather, blue water, sandy beaches, and relaxed island vibe.Every cruise brings new ports, new experiences, and new memories—which is exactly what makes cruising such an incredible way to travel.

Wonderful Vacation!
Reviewed By PJM - Dundee, Oregon | Traveled to Maui Island | Hawaii | USA
Amanda did a great job of planning a trip to Maui for my husband and I and another couple. Amanda coordinated our flights so we all arrived within just a few minutes of each other, even though my husband and I flew out of PDX and our friends flew out of LAX. We were very pleased with the condo accommodations that Amanda found for us. I was especially impressed with Amanda's communication with all of us throughout the process. She provided all of the information we needed during the vacation planning process and was very easy to reach if we had any questions along the way. It was a very fun and relaxing vacation, largely thanks to Amanda's careful planning!

"Peggy- I am so glad you had a great time in Maui with your friends and with it being their first time there, I am so glad everything went smoothly and you enjoyed everything. My goal was to make sure it was a stress free vacation so you could enjoy the time with your friends!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The best trip of our lives!
Reviewed By Amanda Peaslee - Corvallis, Or | Traveled to Placencia | Belize | Central America
We arrived in Placencia with a warm greeting and huge welcome home sign and a refreshing drink. Our room was perfectly made up with towels on our bed that looked like elephants. The resort was not huge which we fell in love with. The staff became our extended family. The Belizean people are the nicest and friendliness people you will ever meet. The food was all freshly made; the resort had their own garden where all the vegetables and seasonings are grown. We ate very well and tried many Belizion meals which were excellent. We were also right on the beach and there was a nice pool with a swim-up bar. You can get food all day. We also enjoyed a couples massage which I will have to say was the best one we've ever had. It included deep tissue, foot scrub, hot stones, and a refreshing beverage in the garden. There's so much more to say but then I would give away all of the great surprises that you can experience yourself! If it helps...WE ARE GOING BACK NEXT YEAR :) I want to give a huge shout out to our travel agent Amanda Peaslee! When we first started planning this trip to Belize, we were overwhelmed. We got on a Facebook site and received great advice, but it was a lot. We found Amanda and what a God send she is. We told her what we were looking for and what we would like to do. She had every detail from our flight, excursions, and coming home. We didn't have to do anything which made our trip so much more relaxing and fun! Everything was perfect because of you Amanda. There is only 1 thing I wouldn't recommend and that is the 1/2-day snorkeling at Laughing Bird Island. We really didn't see much. I recommend the full day where you'll see sharks, rays, turtles and all sorts of beautiful fish. Also, the reef is not very pretty at Laughing Bird, but bright and colorful at the other Cayes. Thanks to Amanda planning our trip and making it perfect we will be returning next year but in February (lobster season) lol. If you want a stress-free vacation... Call Amanda :)

"Thank you for such a great review. This truly makes my heart happy knowing this was the best trip ever for you. That's what I want to hear from my clients. I want to hear that it was stress free and relaxing! Thanks for the feedback on the snorkeling info. I can't wait to help plan your trip next year!"

Great Agent
Reviewed By Nursery - Albany, Oregon | Traveled to Kauai Island | Hawaii | USA
Amanda was so helpful getting us a beautiful condo to accommodate seven women and granddaughters! It was amazing! She got us deals on plane tickets and shuttles. She was always available for me when I had questions! When she suggested Tubing; I said no. I changed my mind and all seven of us went. It was so much fun even for an older person like me! What a great time sightseeing and eating our way through the beautiful Garden Island?
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

We had such an incredible honeymoon to Hawaii!!
Reviewed By IsabellaWalker - Waikiki | Traveled to Oahu Island | Hawaii | USA
We had a very smooth and thoughtful 10 day honeymoon! We wanted to be surprised and let her really plan our trip. Our only request was that we had time to explore every other day. She definitely delivered, made it super organized and we had the best time. The excursions that were booked were perfect, food reservations at the best restaurants and wonderful hotels. Highly recommend
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Seamless
Reviewed By Jen H - The Dalles, Oregon | Traveled to Mediterranean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
This trip was seamless from beginning to end. It was mine and my husbands first time taking a cruise together and Amanda was able to give us a lot of tips and tricks to make the experience smooth and memorable. Amanda was available for all of my questions leading up to the trip, always willing to share her experiences from the many cruises that she herself has been on. Amanda offered recommendations on excursions which was very helpful and always kept us apprised of any changes to our itinerary. Amanda planned our trip from beginning to end and it went smooth the whole way through. I would recommend Amanda's service anytime.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
