As owner of The Cruise Butler website, I’ve been in the travel business for almost 26 years, Plus, I worked in the hospitality and tourism business for 15 years before that.
In fact, I was even born into the cruise business. Both of my parents worked for the Cunard Line on the original Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary.
Being in the travel business for so many years has allowed me to make personal contacts with many of the key decision-makers and owners of tour companies and cruise lines. My connections in the industry come in very handy when I need to help a client handle an unexpected issue.
If you visit the testimonials section of my website, you’ll see positive comments from the many clients we've assisted in the past.
Even though I arrange all kinds of travel, including all-inclusive land packages, I specialize in the river cruise, deluxe, and luxury cruise market.
From the many years I spent in upscale restaurants, I love fine foods and great wines. The cruises that I recommend satisfy my palate completely.
I have spent almost 26 years experiencing all the different cruise lines and a variety of destinations. What this means to you is that I can now provide first-hand feedback to guide you towards the perfect vacation.
I have also been on over 80 cruises to many destinations all over the world. People often ask me what my favorite destinations are. I would have to mention Tahiti, Alaska, Italy, and Germany as some of my all-time favorites. Exploring these fantastic destinations is so enriching and rewarding.
I love it when I visit somewhere special then get to come home and share my experience, tips, and suggestions with my clients. Because of what I learn from my travels, my customers can have a more memorable experience when they get to take their next trip.
Through the years I've taken specialist certification courses on many river cruises and upscale cruise lines. I have also attained certification as an Elite Cruise Counselor and as a Luxury Cruise Specialist. I'm especially proud to be 1 of only 700 Elite Cruise Counselors nationwide.
You can find a full list of all my experience, qualifications, and training on the qualifications tab of my website.
I am confident that all of my training, my years in the business, and my personal experience with different products and destinations will make me the travel expert you'll want in your corner when planning your dream vacation. I wish you happy travels and wonderful memories in your future.
