About Me

At Travel With Tracey B, I specialize in turning cruise vacations into unforgettable experiences. My passion for cruising, combined with years of professional expertise, has shaped the way I help clients plan, customize, and enjoy journeys at sea. From first-time cruisers to seasoned travelers seeking their next adventure, my goal is always the same: to make every detail seamless, stress-free, and perfectly tailored.

What sets Travel With Tracey B apart is the combination of first-hand knowledge and genuine care. I have personally sailed on and toured multiple cruise ships across a variety of lines, giving me insider insights that most travelers don’t have access to. I know the difference between a balcony stateroom on Carnival versus one on Royal Caribbean, how a Disney Cruise creates magic for families, and why a river cruise with Viking offers such a different kind of cultural immersion. Because I’ve experienced these differences myself, I can guide clients with clarity and confidence.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in the cruise industry is that every cruise line is unique and there truly is a cruise line for everyone. Some travelers want a lively atmosphere with endless entertainment, while others crave relaxation, gourmet dining, or cultural enrichment. By understanding the distinct personality, style, and strengths of each cruise line, I can confidently match every client to the one that best fits their vacation goals

.At Travel With Tracey B, my expertise covers every aspect of cruise planning:

Ship and itinerary matching – I help clients choose the cruise line, ship, and destination that best fits their personality and travel style, whether that means Caribbean sunshine, Alaska’s glaciers, Europe’s historic rivers, or even world voyages.

Stateroom selection – I walk clients through their cabin choices, explaining the benefits of each category and helping them maximize value without sacrificing comfort.

Onboard experiences – From dining packages to beverage plans, specialty dining, kids’ clubs, spa treatments, and entertainment, I help clients navigate all their options.

Excursion planning – Whether it’s ziplining in St. Lucia, wine tasting along the Danube, or exploring ancient ruins in Greece, I ensure every shore day is as memorable as the time spent onboard.

Group cruise coordination – Travel With Tracey B has arranged cruises for families, friend groups, destination weddings, reunions, and corporate events. I handle the logistics, so everyone can simply enjoy the journey.

Pre- and post-cruise travel – Airfare, hotels, transfers, and tours before and after the sailing are all coordinated, making the trip seamless from start to finish.

I partner with all the leading ocean and river cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Holland America Line, MSC Cruises, and Virgin Voyages. For river cruising, I work closely with Viking, AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, and Uniworld, among others. My ongoing training, certifications, and cruise line partnerships allow me to give clients the most up-to-date advice on new ships, itineraries, promotions, and onboard innovations. 

The cruise industry is always evolving, and Travel With Tracey B keeps clients ahead of the curve. Whether it’s the latest ship launches, expanded private island destinations, or updates to loyalty programs and onboard technology, I make sure my clients are informed and able to take advantage of the best opportunities available.

But beyond the technical expertise, the heart of Travel With Tracey B is personalized service. Every traveler has a unique vision for their vacation, and I make it my mission to listen, ask the right questions, and design an experience that exceeds expectations. For some, that may be a family-friendly adventure filled with activities for kids and teens. For others, it may be a luxury escape featuring fine dining, spa treatments, and private shore tours. Whatever the dream looks like, I take pride in bringing it to life.

My commitment to my clients doesn’t end once the booking is made. At Travel With Tracey B, I provide ongoing support before, during, and after the cruise. If plans shift, flights are delayed, or unexpected challenges arise, I step in as a dedicated advocate, working directly with cruise line partners to make sure my travelers are cared for every step of the way.

Over time, I’ve had the privilege of creating lasting relationships with clients who trust Travel With Tracey B with their vacations year after year. Many of my clients return for multiple sailings and recommend my services to family and friends, which is the greatest compliment I could receive. Their stories and feedback inspire me to keep learning, growing, and elevating the service I provide.
