In 1988, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to take my first cruise and was immediately hooked. Twenty-seven years later, I recently completed my 27th cruise and have had the pleasure of visiting six continents and over forty countries. I have sailed on a variety of itineraries and ships; everything from a 98-guest mega-yacht through the Galapagos Islands to a 3,500+ passenger cruise ship a
cross the Atlantic Ocean. Growing up, my family and I celebrated birthdays, Christmas, and New Year's Day on cruises. As a single adult, I enjoyed cruising with my sister and mother. Once married, my husband and I enjoyed exploring the world just the two of us, cruising with both sets of parents, and, more recently, traveling with our son. Each cruising experience has been unique, but all of these adventures have provided me with great insight to help you plan the vacation of your dreams. The one question I get asked the most is "Having travelled so much, what was your favorite trip?" My answer is always the same .... The Next Journey!
