About Me

Rome

I have been in the travel industry over 10 years, crafting dream vacations, honeymoons, destination weddings, family vacations, and babymoons for clients just like you.   Today we are a well known  travel company in Westchester County with two distinctive brands under JB Luxury Escapes, our full service agency, customizing exceptional journeys to destinations all over the world. We believe each trip should be as special and unique as you are. It should be magical, rewarding, rejuvenating and exciting, which is why we design each itinerary entirely around you. Stay in the best accommodations, explore with top-notch guides, and enjoy genuine, personal experiences that you'll cherish forever.When it comes to our guests, nothing is too much trouble. It's this attitude that drives our experts to create vacations that are extra special, and completely customized to you, because no two guests are the same. 

Most clients come back to ask me to organize vacations to destinations, including Africa, Maldives, Seychelles and South America.  I love to travel and have travel extensively to to different countries including Europe, Hawaii Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean.  I was born and raised in Jamaica and have great insight on the Island.

One benefit of my many years of experience is the connections I've made along the way. This network of in-country partners helps facilitate experiences that you would never find in the pages of a mass-produced guidebook. If you're looking for one-of-a-kind experiences, be it on a cruise, land tour, or European getaway, my resources are the perfect place to start. 

 Experience and commitment is why my customer return to JB Cruise & Tours to help them plan their vacations year after year. I am committed to providing  clients with peace of mind, quality service and lasting memories.  

Destination Wedding Expert

Your Wedding. Your Honeymoon. Your Style!

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration for two or an elegant ceremony and reception for many of your family and friends, your wedding day will be a cherished time of memories never forgotten. Whether it’s a beachfront wedding with an intimate gazebo overlooking the blue green waters of the Caribbean, a white sandy beach under the stars, or on the deck of a romantic cruise ship.   I will craft your Destination Wedding or Honeymoon as special as you always dreamt about, while creating memories that will last for a lifetime. 

I love working with couples who are knee deep in wedding planning by taking away the stress of planning a honeymoon.

More than we could imagine!
Reviewed By Honeymoon - Bronx, NY | Traveled to Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!!
You are truly amazing at what you do.

Our honeymoon was more than what we could have imagined! The locations were perfect. The tours were fun, gorgeous and story filled. And the order in which we did it... just perfect. I had never thought much of travel agencies but now I can't even imagine how much better our previous trips could have been with your help. You were truly meant to be in this profession. I have told Xavier and Laura how great you are and thanked them for introducing us to you. I know I may have made things a little tough with our limitations but you took what we thought we could do and made it sooooo much more.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

Villa Life - Montego Bay, Jamaica

The view from my recent villa stay on the beautiful Island of Jamaica. Thanks to Charles, our chef our meals were some of the best food I have had on a vacation. This is not for everyone, but if you are looking for something different, a well positioned villa with staff is worth it....

Thailand Adventure

Thailand a friendly and food-obsessed, hedonistic and historic, cultured and curious, which tickles the senses. Upon arrival in Thailand, I was immediately taken with the hustle and bustle of the city and the many street food vendors; it tempts its visitors with a smile as golden as the country's glittering temples and tropical beaches.  ...
