About Me

Ocean & River Cruise and Escorted Tours Specialist

I began my career as a travel advisor in 2011 working for Royal Caribbean. When the pandemic disrupted the cruise industry, I seized the opportunity to start my own agency, knowing that travelers would continue to seek new experiences. What I find most rewarding about being a travel advisor is transforming my clients' vacation aspirations into lasting memories. My clientele consists of well-traveled individuals with a natural curiosity, an outgoing nature, and a passion for embracing new adventures. I've also had the privilege of serving retired military clients who deeply appreciate diverse cultures, history, and the joys of travel. I specialize in booking ocean cruises to the Caribbean, Alaska, and Europe, and take pride in finding unique destinations for seasoned cruisers. What sets me apart is genuine dedication to my clients, many of whom have been with me for over a decade. They're more than clients; they're friends, and I'm truly grateful for their loyalty and referrals.

Best Ever Travel Agent
Reviewed By Marydill - Stillwater OK | Traveled to Canada
Cheerie has always responded and come through for us. During the pandemic, she stayed right on top of all our cruise cancellations, spending hours helping me figure out what Royal owed me, and working her way through their bureauracy trying to get me back what was owed. She has a smart head on her shoulders and uses it always to my advantage. She does what you ask of her promptly and gets you the best deals she can. We trust her and rely on her when we travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
