Big-ship ocean cruises
Water slides, Broadway-style shows, and a dozen dining rooms. Ideal for families and multi-generational groups where everyone wants something different.
My specialty
Cruises are what I love booking most
Picking a cruise is easy. Picking the right cruise — ship, cabin, week, and ports — is where most people leave money and enjoyment on the table. That part is my favorite puzzle.
Styles of cruising
Not all ships are for all people
Tell me who's traveling and what a great day looks like to you, and I'll narrow thousands of sailings down to two or three real options.
River cruises
Danube, Rhine, Douro. Small ships, a new town every morning, and no need to pack and unpack. Wonderful for first-time Europe travelers.
Expedition cruises
Alaska, Norway, Galápagos, Antarctica. Smaller ships, naturalists on board, and itineraries built around wildlife instead of ports.
Adults-only & boutique
Grown-up ships with great food, late-night bars, and no kids' club. My personal favorite category to book.
What I handle
The details that make or break a sailing
You could book the same cruise yourself for the same price. Here's what you'd be doing without.
- Cabin and deck selection based on the actual ship layout, not a seating chart
- Onboard credit and amenities when the cruise line offers them
- Dining reservations and specialty restaurants booked before they fill
- Shore excursions vetted for value, pacing, and mobility needs
- Pre-cruise hotel nights and transfers so you never miss the ship
- A day-by-day itinerary you can hand to anyone traveling with you
- Travel advisor perks added when available — on top of whatever the cruise line or provider already includes
Common questions
Cruise questions I get weekly
Is a cruise really cheaper than a resort?
Often yes, once you count meals, entertainment, and getting to multiple places on one fare. I'll show you the real all-in number — including gratuities, drinks, and excursions — so nothing surprises you later.
Which cabin should I book?
It depends on the ship and the itinerary. On Alaska I'll push you toward a balcony; on a 4-night Caribbean sailing an inside cabin may be smarter. I know which decks are noisy and which cabins are worth the upgrade.
Do you charge me a fee?
No. You pay the cruise line's price, and I'm paid by them. You get my planning time, my perks, and someone in your corner if anything goes wrong — at no extra cost.
What if I've never cruised before?
Then you're my favorite kind of client. We'll talk through ship size, cabin, dining, and what to do in each port, and I'll send you a simple day-by-day so you know exactly what to expect.
