Another busy week helping clients plan their cruises! The Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas will be sailing from the Port of New Orleans starting on Nov 1, 2026. Clients already booked on the first week!
The ship will also make a Transatlantic cruise from New Orleans to Southampton departing on April 24, 2027. My clients are already booked & counting down the days. With port stops in Bahamas, Azores, Spain, and France this is a great opportunity to travel to Europe.
We also have 4 Ocean Balcony cabins booked for a large family going on the Harmony of the Seas out of Port Canaveral next June!
It's never too early to plan your cruise!!

Celebrity Xcel...their newest Edge Class ship is currently sailing in the Mediterranean. This ship had its inaugural sailing last November and I had the pleasure of sailing on her in The Retreat.
I highly recommend this ship! Let's get you booked.

The port of Nassau is boring...how many times have you heard that?
Oh you didn't know that Royal Caribbean has a new Beach Club just across from the Port? They have water taxis to bring you too!
What's your excuse now?
Nassau is no longer "boring"...
