“Let me wave my magic travel wand and whisk you away to your dream destination!”

We have done many cruise destination weddings on cruise ships from 2 to 100 and sent over 1,000 couples on cruises for their honeymoons.  

Accessible Travel

I have worked with people who are blind, hard of hearing, use walkers and wheelchairs. I have made it possible for people to cruise and travel with impairments who thought they could never do so again.​

Cruising — Simply Great Value!

There are lots of options for a vacation, but cruising offers some special advantages not found elsewhere. Visit several destinations, but unpack once. Your transportation, dining and entertainment all come along with you for the ride! But best of all, in every port some new adventure awaits.

Whether you love to dine, shop, or sightsee, each port of call is an opportunity for you to explore. Like an active vacation? Bike, hike or scuba your way through your vacation.

All my life, I had been the “go to girl” when it came to planning vacations for my friends, coworkers and family members.

My late husband had been looking through a travel magazine and he said, “I have found the perfect job for you, being an independent travel agent working with a host agency."

I keep myself updated since every year, there are changes going on in the cruise world, new ships, old ships getting changed around, ships going from concentration in Europe to concentration in Asia and in cava.

The cruises are getting longer so people who wanted to do southern Caribbean islands can now do so from Florida instead of having to fly to San Juan to do these exotic itineraries. Cruise ships are now bringing artists in ports and staying longer in more popular ports to allow people to experience the night life there or staying overnight letting the people use the cruise ship as a floating hotel.

In these uncertain times of covid 19, I am up to date on the ever changing restrictions and requirements with going in and out of destinations and states.

Since cruising has stopped for now, I am concentrating on helping bridal couples with planning their their special day in the u.s., in Mexico, Puerto rico and certain Caribbean Islands open to united states citizens. I am a one stop wedding advisor, helping the couple from the day they get engaged, with planning engagement parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties or weekends, rehearsal dinners, the special day and the honeymoon afterwards .
