Photos make every ship look perfect. Walking it tells you the truth.

I was onboard the Star Princess for Cruise Planners World 2026, and yes, there was dancing and plenty of gelato.

But I spent most of it doing what I always do: noticing where it gets busy, which spots stay quiet, and what's actually worth the upgrade.

That's the part you can't get from a booking site.

Thinking about Princess? Comment STAR and I'll send you my honest take on which cabin fits the way you travel.

Just a quick reminder that I am on the cruise portion of CPWorld 26. While I do have wifi, it's been intermittent and I am working through processing your payments and travel requests. Please understand that I will do my best to get these taken care of in a timely manner but there will be a delay due to my traveling and wifi connection.

Thank you!

How amazing are these two ladies? Let me tell you…

Not only did they join me at CPWorld26, but they jumped right in and made the most of every opportunity! From exploring Fort Lauderdale on their own to attending supplier sessions, networking with fellow Cruise Planners, and experiencing firsthand just how much our Cruise Planners family invests in our success.

But what means the most to me is that they chose to be here, to learn, to grow, and to be part of what we’re building together at Cruise Planners of Southwest Louisiana.

Ladies, I hope you know just how much I appreciate you both. Thank you for believing in this journey, for investing in yourselves, and for being part of this team. I’m so proud of you both, and even more grateful that I get to share this experience with you.

We’re building something special, and I couldn’t be happier to have you alongside me. 💚

Alaska 2027 is calling, and I’m getting a sneak peek at what’s waiting for YOU!

Good morning from CPWorld26! Today wraps up the land portion of our convention, but the learning and fun aren’t over yet!

I’m hopping aboard the beautiful Star Princess for four more nights of networking, learning, and connecting with our Cruise Planners family!

And this sailing is extra special because we have an Alaska group sailing aboard the Star Princess in July 2027!

As a travel advisor specializing in Alaska cruises here in Southwest Louisiana, I love having the opportunity to experience the ships and destinations I recommend firsthand. I’ll be checking out all the little details so our clients know exactly what to look forward to!

Want to sail to Alaska with us in July 2027? We’re still welcoming travelers to our group! Send me a message, and let’s get you aboard!

Level’d up 💚 it’s been a day of learning about new tech that enhances how we service our clients, sitting in on VIP chats with supplier execs and catching up on all the latest happening in travel today and what that means for you.

Let’s just say the challenge was Game On, and it’s not only on but we’ve leveled up.

I didn’t fly to Fort Lauderdale for me. Three days of training, sessions, and supplier updates so when I build your multi-gen cruise, I already know what works for grandparents AND grandkids. This is the unglamorous part of the job nobody posts... until now. Your trip deserves someone who actually does the homework. Start a conversation and let’s plan the one your whole family will still talk about at Thanksgiving.

GAME ON, CPWorld 2026!

We’re officially tucked in, recharging our batteries, and getting ready to bring our A-game tomorrow!

The next few days are all about leveling up, making connections, learning from the best in the industry, and embracing whatever challenges and opportunities come our way.

This Cruise Planners crew came to play, and I have a feeling this is going to be one for the record books!

Let the games begin! 💚
