About Me

Travel Time | Your Cruise Booking Expert

I didn’t start in travel—I started in service.

My professional foundation was built in the military and later in federal government work. In those environments, there’s no room for missed details, poor communication, or cutting corners. You learn quickly that people rely on you to get things right the first time. You’re trained to be prepared, think ahead, and take ownership of every outcome. That level of discipline and accountability became part of who I am—and it’s exactly what I bring into every cruise I plan today.

Over time, I discovered something that became more than just a getaway—cruising.

For me, stepping onto a cruise ship isn’t just about taking a vacation. It’s about resetting, recharging, and reconnecting. It’s one of the few travel experiences where everything is designed to make life easier. Your meals, entertainment, transportation, and accommodations are all handled in one place.

As a father of five, I understand how valuable that really is. Time with family is limited, and when you finally get the chance to take a vacation, it needs to be worth it. It should feel smooth, enjoyable, and memorable—not stressful or overwhelming.

Traveling with kids has also given me a different perspective. I know not every cruise is created equal, and not every ship or itinerary works for every family. What looks great online doesn’t always translate into the best real-life experience. Cabin size, ship layout, kids programs, dining, and itinerary pacing can all make or break a trip.

That’s exactly why I do what I do.

I don’t just book cruises, I guide you through the entire process from start to finish. I take the time to understand what you’re looking for and match you with the right cruise, not just what’s popular, but what actually fits your needs.

Whether you’re planning your first cruise, a family vacation, a couples getaway, or something more elevated, I make sure every detail is aligned with your expectations.

Because the difference between an average cruise and an unforgettable one often comes down to the decisions made before you even step on the ship.

I help you choose the right cruise line, ship, itinerary, and cabin category. I explain the differences clearly so you can make confident decisions without second guessing yourself later.

And here’s something many people don’t realize:

Booking directly with a cruise line doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting the best deal or the best experience.

Cruise lines are focused on selling their product, not necessarily on what’s best for you. That means they won’t always explain the pros and cons of different options or help you avoid a poor fit.

That’s where working with me makes a real difference.

When you book with me, you’re not just getting a reservation—you’re getting someone in your corner looking out for your best interest.

I help you:

• Find the right cruise based on your needs

• Maximize your budget with the best pricing, promotions, and perks• Understand what you’re actually paying for

• Avoid common mistakes that impact your trip

• Plan smarter for a smooth experience

• Have a real person to reach out to before, during, and after your cruise

And just as important, you’re not doing this alone.

Instead of calling a general customer service line, you have someone who knows your trip and can help quickly if anything comes up.

Another thing many people don’t realize is that my services don’t cost you anything extra.

Cruise lines already include commission in their pricing whether you use an agent or not. The difference is, when you work with me, you actually benefit from it—with guidance, support, and often added value.

I also keep things simple and real. No pressure. No sales tactics. Just honest advice and clear communication so you can make the best decision for yourself and your family.

At the end of the day, my mission is simple:

To make your vacation easier, better, and more enjoyable than if you tried to plan it on your own.

Because a cruise should be something you look forward to, not something you stress over.

If you’re thinking about taking a cruise, let’s connect. I’ll make sure everything is set up the right way from the start so you can focus on enjoying the experience.

Where ice meets adventure, Alaska never disappoint
Where ice meets adventure, Alaska never disappoint

Cruising isn’t just something I book — it’s something I truly love. There’s nothing like stepping onto a ship, feeling that ocean breeze, and knowing adventure is ahead. From sunrise views at sea to exploring new ports, cruising offers a kind of freedom and excitement that’s hard to match.My goal is simple: I want as many people as possible to experience that feeling.I believe everyone deserves a chance to unplug, explore, and create memories that last long after the trip ends. Whether it’s your first cruise or your tenth, I’m passionate about making the process smooth, stress-free, and exciting from the first conversation to the moment you step onboard. Helping others cruise isn’t just business for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy.

Best Decision for booking my Cruise
Reviewed By B. Jee - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
I was going to book directly through the cruise line, but I’m so glad I didn’t. Ruben found me a better price and added perks I didn’t know existed. Everything was smooth from start to finish. I plan to book with him for all future cruises. Thanks again Ruben!
