About Me

Celebrity Apex -my favorite class of ship!
Celebrity Apex -my favorite class of ship!

Ocean cruising has been a significant part of my travel career and personal exploration of the world. I have spent hundreds of days at sea sailing with numerous cruise lines to destinations including Antarctica, Europe, the Baltics, the Caribbean, Asia, and many other remarkable regions across the globe.These experiences have allowed me to understand firsthand the many styles of ocean cruising, from expedition voyages in remote destinations to classic cultural itineraries throughout Europe and beyond. Sailing to places like Antarctica is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, while voyages through the Baltic and Mediterranean offer incredible access to history, art, and architecture. Caribbean sailings provide a perfect blend of relaxation and tropical beauty, while Asian itineraries offer rich cultural immersion and diverse landscapes. Throughout my travels, I have sailed in a variety of accommodations ranging from comfortable staterooms to luxurious suites, both with and without butler service. Experiencing these different levels of comfort and service has given me valuable insight into what each cruise line offers and how travelers can best match their preferences, expectations, and travel style with the right cruise experience.Spending so much time at sea has allowed me to fully appreciate the unique rhythm of ocean cruising, the ability to unpack once, relax, and wake up in a new destination each day while enjoying exceptional service, dining, and on board experiences. It also allows me to speak from personal experience when helping my clients select the right ship, itinerary, and accommodations.My passion for ocean cruising and extensive time sailing around the world enables me to design thoughtful cruise experiences for my clients. I take pride in helping travelers explore the world in comfort, whether they are embarking on their first cruise or planning a once-in-a-lifetime voyage across the oceans.

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Erin O - Hillsborough, California | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
I had a daughter turning 30 years old, I asked her where she wanted to go to celebrate? She said the UK. The whole UK. I immediately called Rebecca at Droppintravel.com and said HELP! How do I see the whole UK without a car? She went to work on the trip. Came back with an itinerary that made it work and I have just completed the trip. We went to London by plane, Cardiff Whales by train as well as Edinburgh Scotland and Glasgow, plane to Dublin Ireland. Every hotel was fabulous, location was perfection. If you have a dream vacation and need an expert please don’t hesitate go to Rebecca!

Experienced Travel Agent
Reviewed By Antarctica First Timer - California City, Ca | Traveled to Antarctica
I contacted Rebecca because she indicated she has experience visiting Antarctica. She shared many details of her visit and her experience with me. She helped me understand how much it will cost and assisted with booking the explorer cruise I was looking to book. It’s not until 2028 but I am so excited. She also helps me keep on top of the cost by regularly making payments for me. If i have any questions, she is always right there to answer.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
