Cruising is one, if not my favorite, way of seeing the world.  I love the mix of onboard activities and entertainment with waking up in a new place! 


In December 2021 we sailed a Very Merry Time Christmas cruise on Disney Cruise Line from Galveston Texas. It was incredibly festive and we loved being onboard to celebrate the holiday. I would highly recommend this as an alternative to families who may want to celebrate the holidays in a way where everyone can have fun, and no one needs to clean up afterwards!


In June 2022 we made our way to Princess Cruise Line to sail Alaska from San Francisco.  Sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge was magical. Onboard, the service was very good.  Alaska was incredible, and we will be back again soon, this time sailing with Holland America. We are thrilled to get to spend a few days in Anchorage beforehand and end our trip in Vancouver where we are looking forward to visiting Capilano Suspension Bridge, Granville Island and much more. 


In 2019 we sailed on a Disney cruise to the British Isles. We started our journey in Dover, England and explored the beauty of Scotland, Ireland and Wales along the way. We continue talking about the service, shows and destinations we visited well after our cruise is over.   When someone asks me the best type of trip to take, I would always recommend a cruise!


Disney Cruise is our go to cruise line, it really is a great cruise line for multi-generational travel. There really is something for everyone to enjoy! We have also sailed on Princess Cruises. We decided to do Tahitian Princess for our honeymoon. It was intimate and truly a once in a lifetime experience. I would certainly recommend Princess Cruises.


In 2018 we really wanted to debark from a port we hadn't been to yet, so we chose to leave from New Orleans. First we spent a few days in town, which I highly recommend if you have the time. Our cruise provider this time was Carnival.  We really enjoyed the Guy Fieri fast dining experiences out on the deck. Best part of that cruise was the stop at Nassau where we went to Blue Lagoon Island for our day. It was beautiful!


The key to cruising is finding the right destination for you. There are so many choices, my job is to help you decide what destinations will offer what you are looking for. Different ports offer different experiences. So, if you want to explore beautiful beaches, I would recommend a completely different itinerary than someone who wants museums and history. For the most part, we can accommodate the needs of everyone in your travel party. 


Our British Isles cruise provided us all with something we enjoyed. My son really enjoyed the archaeologist and history of weapons at Trim Castle. He is still talking about what an amazing experience it was. My favorite part was while we were having lunch at the Trim Castle hotel the manager came around to check on everyone's meals. I told him the potatoes were the best I had ever had! He brought our another plate of potatoes, proceeded to kneel down and share the recipe with me. I have made them several times since being home, and it always takes us back to Ireland. 


In Scotland we were mesmerized by the Falkirk Wheel and learning about all the canals. There were so many incredible sites to see, and the sheep! Did you know they outnumber people four to one in Wales?


It would be my absolute pleasure to help you find your "can't stop talking about it" memories either by sea or river. There are truly so many options. Let me help you find the perfect one for you.

Even COVID couldn’t diminish the magic of Disney!
Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible! She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! while on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue fir Star Wars Rise of the Resistance! Andrea is amazing at what she does and a great person! I can’t wait to book with her again!!
