A Royal Caribbean specialist
Seven ship classes, two dozen ships, hundreds of cabin categories — I know this fleet properly rather than knowing eight lines vaguely. I book the other lines too when they suit you better.

Here's the short version
What it costs you
Nothing extra. I'm paid a commission by the cruise line, so your price is the same as booking direct - you just get someone in your corner for free.
How to start
Send me a quote request with rough dates and who's traveling. I'll come back with real options and real prices, usually within one business day.
About Katie
Twenty years of taking care of people. Same job, better setting.
My nursing career taught me the importance of careful planning, attention to detail, and truly listening to each person's needs — qualities that now guide the way I plan every vacation.
Whether you're traveling with children, seniors, or someone with special accommodations, I'm committed to making the planning process as seamless and stress-free as possible. I hold the Royal Caribbean Masters certification, a Norwegian Cruise Line University Master's Degree and Aruba Certified Expert status — and I've personally sailed nine Royal Caribbean cruises as well as Disney, so the advice you get is firsthand, not from a brochure.
The Specialty
Anyone can book a cruise. Fewer can tell you which cabin.
Royal Caribbean has seven ship classes and more than two dozen ships, and the difference between a great week and a frustrating one usually comes down to which one you're on and where your cabin sits. That's the detail I've chosen to know properly — nine sailings of my own, and the Royal Caribbean Masters certification.
This is what you're actually booking
Where do you want to wake up?
Caribbean
Warm water year-round, and the easiest place to fall in love with cruising.
Alaska
Glaciers, whales, and a May-to-September window you don't want to miss.
Europe
Unpack once and wake up in a different country every morning.
Bahamas
Three or four nights, straight out of Florida. The perfect first cruise.
Why Use a Travel Advisor?
The booking site doesn't call you back.
Anyone can click "book now." The value shows up in the parts nobody warns you about.
- I know which cabins sit under the pool deck and which balconies are worth the money.
- I watch for price drops and promotions after you book, and reprice when one lands.
- When a flight cancels or an itinerary changes, you call me - not a hold queue.
- I'll walk you through travel insurance honestly, including when to skip it.
- You get hours of your life back, and you don't second-guess the decision.
