We often get asked how we got started in the business as cruise specialists. We have been in the cruise business for over 8 years. Bob and I are ACC (Accredited Cruise Counselor) and MCC (Master Cruise Counselor) certified by the Cruise Lines International Association. We have also completed Carnival Cruise Lines University and Royal Caribbean's University of WOW programs. In order to stay on top of the latest trends and changes in the industry, we are continually attending webinars and seminars that are offered by the cruise lines. Along with our ongoing education, we have personally been on over 20 cruises on multiple cruise lines. Nothing compares to actually being there.
As cruise specialists, we are able to offer our unbiased opinion and suggestions to our clients in order to ensure they are cruising on the ship and itinerary that will make for a great vacation.
If you are considering a cruise vacation, please feel free to email us to discuss your plans.

A few Romantic Aspects of Cruising for Valentines Day
Ever since the Love Boat days, cruising has had romantic appeal. Some folks would lead you to believe that there cannot possibly be any romantic time when cruising on some of the larger ships. However, if you know your way around, there is always a "private" spot that can be found. Many times when cruising with my husband, we have been amazed at how often we are actually the only two people in the public area. Some other romantic aspects of cruising are:
1. Private islands - Many of the cruise lines today have their own private island that they call on. While you will still be visiting the island with the other cruisers, you will still be able to enjoy the less crowded and unspoiled beauty of the beaches.
2. Balcony accommodations - Nothing quite like breakfast for two on your own private balcony. So relaxing and romantic overlooking the water. And, depending upon the location of your balcony, you may also enjoy a private viewing of a sunset. Does it get more romantic than that?
3. Specialty Dining Venues - Many of the larger ships now have specialty restaurants on board. These offer a more upscale and romantic dining experience that are very popular for special occasions.
4. Weddings and Vow Renewals - Once again, most of the cruise lines have programs in place where you can get married on board or at one of the ports. Have a special anniversary? You can also book a romantic vow renewal ceremony.
These are just a few of the many romantic aspects of cruising. Consult your travel professional for more details.
See you on board!
