About Me

Helping First Time Cruisers and Travelers


While this may sound funny, but I specialize in "virgin" travelers -- clients who have never traveled outside of their own state. This group makes up about 75 percent of my clients who do business with me the first time. I really enjoy working with first-time travelers and showing them the joys of seeing and experiencing new destinations and cultures.  My records show most of my clients are repeats.  I like to think it is because of the personalized service I offer.


Because many of my clients are "virgins," I also work with them on their trip budget. My favorite quote is Eugene Fodor's "You don't have to be rich to travel well."  And it is true.


Sometimes, it just takes some creative planning, careful budgeting, and an understanding Agent/Advisor. That is why I like to sit down with my clients and discuss various ways they can save on their journey. For example, I may suggest that they travel during the off-peak season to save money.  And I also offer a layaway plan for my clients.  I accept various payment options to make it convenient for my clients.


Another way I help new clients is by traveling once a year with a group that I organize. Some people just feel more comfortable on an escorted cruise or tour. It eases their mind to know that they have someone knowledgeable with them if they should have any questions or problems.


In addition to working with new clients, I also specialize in booking:

 

  • River Cruises
  • Group Cruises
  • All-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean

 


I am also the go-to Travel Agent/ Advisor for many busy families who just don't have the time to plan out a complex itinerary or compare the various cruise or all-inclusive options out there. These clients realize my value and wisdom that it makes more sense to leave their travel plans in my hands.   I have the knowledge, training, and I  spend time getting to know their likes and dislikes to book the right vacation for them.


Not only am I an Travel Agent/Advisor, I am the agency owner.  I have owned my own agency for the last sixteen years and have earned certificates from the following:

  • Carnival Cruise Lines
  • Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines
  • MSC Cruise Lines
  • Costa Cruise Lines
  • Princess Cruises Lines
  • Amawaterways Cruise Lines
  • Riu
  • Jamaica One Love Rewards
  • Master Agent with AM Resorts
  • Family Travel
  • Group Travel

 


So if you are in need of an experienced Travel Agent/Advisor who really cares and will be there for you from the beginning to the end of your trip, please contact me as soon as possible.

She made planning as fun as the trip itself!
Reviewed By DJ - Houston, TX | Traveled to
I want Toni to plan all of my trips!!! This was my first experience working with a travel agent and I loved working with Toni. She took away all of the stress of planning a trip and all I had to worry about was paying my money and going on vacation:-) When we arrived on our ship she had a beautiful gift waiting for us and our room was just as we requested! She had all the answers to all of my questions and she gave great tips about the ship and things to do. I never understood the reason for a travel agent until I worked with Toni! I am hate planning family trips and she made it fun:-)
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Toni is the best traveling agent ever!!!
Reviewed By Jeanetta - Katy, TX | Traveled to
Whenever I decides to travel, I call Toni and let her know the where I want to go and the date. She does the rest. I leave everything up to her, she knows what is best and what I like. I never worry about anything because I know Toni is going to make sure that everything is perfect. She is very knowledgeable and if I have any question (which I never does) Toni explains everything. Toni is the best......
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
