AmaWaterways, Virgin Voyages, Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises®About Me
Cruising is one of the most effortless, immersive, and customizable ways to explore the world but with so many ships, itineraries, and cabin categories to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before you ever step on board. That’s where I come in.
As a Cruise Planning Expert certified with Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Princess Cruises, and AmaWaterways, I specialize in helping clients cut through the clutter and book the cruise that fits them best whether it’s a Caribbean escape with the family, a European honeymoon at sea, or a once-in-a-lifetime river cruise through Portugal or Vietnam.
Why Clients Trust Me With Their Cruise Vacations
I didn’t just take a few training courses I’ve sailed the ships, earned the certifications, and curated cruise experiences for travelers of every kind. After completing Royal Caribbean’s Bachelor of the Seas program in 2019, I spent years planning sailings for families, couples, and solo travelers. I’ve personally cruised with Royal Caribbean and experienced the difference between ships like Grandeur of the Seas and Allure of the Seas which helped shape the way I now recommend ships based on size, atmosphere, and amenities.
After realizing that Carnival wasn’t a good fit for our clients due to the ship atmosphere and crowding, we moved toward premium lines that deliver elevated experiences without sacrificing un. That decision led me to Virgin Voyages, where I became a Gold Tier First Mate a top-level advisor status that gives me insider access, early dining reservations, and priority perks for my cruise clients.My role is to be your cruise matchmaker guiding you to the line, ship, and itinerary that feels just right for you.
