Getaway to Mexico and stay forever. That is how it goes right? The Yucatan Peninsula and Riverira Maya is an incomparable stretch of paradise. The Margaritas and authentic tacos are the finishing touch. I have spent time in this area, with Tulum a...

Cruise Travel Agent Specialist

Cruises offer a unique vacation experience, presenting the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and luxury while you sail across the high seas. Immense floating resorts, cruises take you to multiple destinations while offering the convenience of unpacking just once. Here’s why opting for a cruise might be one of the best travel decisions you'll ever make:Multiple Destinations, One Journey A cruise vacation allows you to wake up in a new port or country almost every day. From the sun-kissed Caribbean islands to the scenic fjords of Norway or the historic Mediterranean ports, cruises cover a multitude of routes where the journey itself is part of the adventure.All-Inclusive Comfort Most cruises come with all-inclusive pricing, which often covers accommodation, round-the-clock dining, entertainment, and transportation between destinations. This means not having to worry about the logistics of meal planning or moving your luggage from one place to another.Amenities and Entertainment Onboard Cruise ships are well-known for their onboard offerings, including Broadway-style shows, casinos, movie theaters, and live music performances. Sprawling decks with pools, slides, and hot tubs ensure relaxation and fun in the sun, while luxurious spas offer pampering treatments and fitness centers help you stay active.Dining and Cuisine Dining on a cruise is a delight, with a variety of restaurants offering everything from buffet-style meals to fine dining experiences. Specialized eateries serve various cuisines including Italian, East Asian, and seafood. Some cruise lines even feature menus designed by celebrity chefs.Excursions and Explorations Shore excursions are a huge part of the cruise experience, allowing you to dive into the local culture, history, and activities at each port. Whether it's climbing a glacier in Alaska, snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, or touring ancient ruins in Greece, there's an excursion for every interest.Family-Friendly Adventures A cruise is a perfect family getaway since most ships provide programs catered to children and teenagers. Kids' clubs, dedicated youth coordinators, and specially designed activities ensure that younger passengers are engaged and parents can relax.Cultural Immersion Luxury cruises often invite experts to give lectures on destinations, offering insights into the history and natural science of the areas visited. Evenings may highlight the region’s cultural music and dance, giving a taste of the local flavor without even leaving the ship.Voyaging in Tranquility For many, a cruise is a chance to disconnect (although WiFi is available), gaze out at the endless ocean, and indulge in the simplicity of maritime life. The tranquility of being at sea, combined with the ease of having every need met, creates a deeply relaxing holiday.Cruising is more than just a trip — it’s a mode of travel that turns the sea into your highway and the ship into your home away from home. Whether you are basking in the sun on deck, feasting on gourmet meals, discovering new lands, or dancing the night away, cruising offers a spectacular way to see the world.

Great Trip planned by an even Greater Travel Agent
Monique did a wonderful job planning a family trip for myself and my siblings to Williamsburg, VA. While I was already somewhat familiar with the area, she was able to provide us information on 'hidden gems' within the area that we were not aware of!
She was very thorough from the beginning to end of the trip by all the right questions to ensure she had all information needed to plan a wonderful family vacation. She was very responsive to all questions and did a great job of ensuring we were as prepared as possible for our long weekend. She made sure we were able to include fun activities for everyone (children and adults) as we visited Busch Gardens, Lounged out on the beach for a day, and we were even able to do a little retail therapy at the Tanger Outlets after a little wine tasting at the Williamsburg Winery (only the adults ;-) ). I cannot wait until my family is ready for another weekend retreat, as we will be reaching out to Monique for her wonderful services once again.

It doesn’t get any better than this!
Monique Bonds deserves the highest praise for her outstanding assistance. She expertly coordinated our trip, ensuring a smooth experience from beginning to end. Her frequent check-ins and confirmation of excursion arrangements were greatly appreciated. As a first-time traveler abroad with my family, I had some initial concerns, but Monique's thorough guidance alleviated these worries. Her prompt responses to my inquiries demonstrated her impressive expertise.

First trip out the US!
Monique was absolutely incredible! She was so thorough and consistent, but especially PATIENT!!! We made so many changes to the trip itself and had so many bumps on our end but Monique was always kind and had great tips. She helped me with the process with getting our passports and answered the millions of questions I tossed her way! She gave me a variety of options and the more we spoke, the more I saw she would pick up on our wants/needs and she would cater her suggestions to those things. The consistency didn’t stop once we went on the trip either! First of all before we even get to the airport she made sure to give us any last minute reminders and tips as this was our first time traveling internationally, but while on the trip she was checking in as well. When I was dissatisfied with something at our resort, she called right away and made sure the resort treated us like royalty for the remainder of the trip! My husband and I find booking and planning trips so overwhelming and we wo

Second Time Around!
Monique was incredibly attentive, with a keen eye for detail and excellent follow-through on every piece of our trip. She was always available to problem-solve and intervene for any in destination unplanned inconveniences. Most importantly, she was a great listener as before. Would recommend.
