About Me

Living the dream aboard the Icon of the Seas
Living the dream aboard the Icon of the Seas

Cruising isn’t just a vacation for me it’s a lifestyle. My love for the open seas began in 1981, and from that first voyage, I was hooked. Decades later, my passion for cruising has only grown stronger, leading me to become a Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) to help others experience the magic of cruising.

For me, the longer the cruise, the better! I love the complete experience world-class entertainment, diverse dining options, socializing with fellow travelers, exploring breathtaking ports, and immersing myself in different cultures all while only unpacking once. Whether sailing through the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the historic coasts of Europe, or the stunning landscapes of the Mediterranean, I’ve embraced the joy of discovery and relaxation at sea.

With extensive cruising experience ranging from 3-day getaways to 14-day voyages, I’ve traveled solo, with friends, with family, and as a couple. Each cruise offers a unique adventure, from the excitement of on board activities to the enriching shore excursions that bring new destinations to life. My firsthand experience and passion for cruising allow me to curate the perfect cruise vacations for my clients, ensuring unforgettable journeys on the high seas.

As a Certified Cruise Counselor, my goal is to match travelers with their ideal cruise experience, whether it’s a romantic getaway, a group adventure, a luxury escape, or a solo voyage of self-discovery. Let me help you navigate the world of cruising and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Great trip!
Reviewed By The Retaliater - Charlotte NC | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
Overall, the trip was great. I didn't like the $600 incidental fee at the resort in Maui. I should have got that money back since there was nothing wrong after we left the room. Also, please never book a car rental with Dollar. I had to have a $500 hold on my account. I didn't like doing that. ALWAYS book my car rentals with Enterprise. Also, even though I enjoyed island hopping, I prefer to stay in one location longer than two days rather than staying two days on one island and two days on the next. I did enjoy being in first class going from island to island though.
Karen Harrison responded
"Thank you for your honest feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the trip and first-class island hops. Resort and car rental holds are standard refundable deposits, but I understand the frustration. I’ll note your preference for longer stays and booking with Enterprise only for future travel. I truly appreciate you and look forward to planning your next getaway! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
