Frequently Asked Questions
What types of travel do you specialize in?
I specialize in luxury and premium cruises, world cruises and grand voyages, and luxury guided tours. Whether you want a suite at sea or a small-group tour, I start with what matters to you and match you with the experience that fits.
Do you charge a planning fee?
For most trips, I don’t charge a planning fee. My time and expertise are valuable, though, so after our complimentary consultation I ask that you’re serious about booking through me before I build a personalized proposal. For complex trips or research-heavy requests, a planning fee may apply, and I’ll explain that up front before any work begins. Cancellation and change fees apply once a trip is confirmed.
What’s included when I work with you?
You get personalized recommendations based on how you like to travel, help comparing your cruise or tour options, and a second set of eyes on the details. I’m your one point of contact before, during, and after your trip.
Can you help me find the best deal?
I look for the best value, not just the lowest price. The lowest fare is often the most expensive vacation if the ship or tour doesn’t fit you. I’ll show you what’s included, what isn’t, and which option makes sense for you.
Do you book airfare, hotels, and insurance too?
Cruises and tours are my specialty, but I can help with flights, pre- and post-trip hotel stays, and private transfers. I also strongly recommend travel protection and can walk you through your options. Coverage depends on the policy, so I always encourage you to review the details.
What if I have a problem while traveling?
This is one of the best reasons to work with an advisor. If something goes sideways, you have me in your corner to troubleshoot and advocate for you. I can’t promise outcomes the cruise line or tour company controls, but you won’t be figuring it out alone.
Do you only work with people in your area?
Nope. I’m based in Central Florida and work with travelers across the country. We can meet by phone or Google Meet to get started.
Why should I hire an advisor instead of booking it myself?
Because your time and your vacation are both valuable. I bring knowledge, experience, and industry connections to help you avoid costly mistakes and find the right match. I’ll tell you when a request isn’t in your best interest, and I handle the details so you can simply enjoy the trip.
How do I get started?
Book a complimentary consultation by phone or Google Meet so we can talk about what you want. From there, I’ll do the research and walk you through your options. Let’s talk.
