Cruising & Destination Travel Specialist

In 2010 I became a Travel Adviser and started out doing cruises. I love to cruise, vacation, and feel pampered while I am relaxing enjoying life. About eight years ago, I was introduced to Sandals and Beaches Resorts. All Inclusive is the way to go! On one of my stays at a Sandals Resort, I witnessed a Destination Wedding. I was so intrigued how it was put together that I had so many questions. I was influenced by one of my peers to begin learning more about the process for the destination weddings. Once I learned more about what people were visioning for their special day, I got off the high seas (cruising) for a bit and started to focus on destination weddings. I love working with couples, seeing their visions, and help make their dreams come true on their special day. I like to work with resorts who go out of their way to make the couple happy. I do work with Sandals Resorts as I feel that they have the best to offer as far as a job well done. I enjoy working with other resorts as well. I not only enjoy booking destination weddings, but also family and group vacations. Whether you are looking for an all-inclusive or a simple weekend getaway cruise, I can help you book that vacation. My personal favorite Caribbean Island is Jamaica. I love the people, music, and the Food. Jamaican people always make you feel at home, at lease that is how they make me feel. Although, there are many wonderful Islands in the Caribbean.Being a Travel Adviser makes me happy knowing I can assist others who want to travel and make memories. Hearing back from my clients when they return is something I live for! I encourage my guests to share photos with me because I want to know what an amazing time they had. Whether it’s a wedding, honeymoon or just a family vacation, it's truly wonderful to make people happy!I have taken many trainings for both destination weddings and cruises. I am a Master Cruise Counselor, Sandals Destination Wedding Specialist. After all this time in the industry, I finally committed to taking the actual Certified Travel Associate program. I strive to continue to broaden my education as something is always new and changing.

Cruise Specialist

Day At Sea

There is so much I love about cruising! I started my travel career with my focus on cruising, from being on over thirteen cruises by then, I knew this was definitely a career path for me! I realized there is so much to love, including fun! I enjoyed visiting all the ports of call especially during one single cruise. Depending on the length of the cruise you chose, you could see two or more different islands or countries. Whether you chose a weekend getaway just to the Bahamas or a world cruise where you have an opportunity to visit as many as nine different places. The sites, cultures, atmospheres, excursions, and food. Either way the experience is always amazing!If you're an adventurer like me, I enjoy being involved in all the activities the ships have to offer. If you like bingo, games, and fun activities, the ships always have something for you to do. If you prefer to relax by the pool, while reading a book, and sipping on a frozen beverage that's always relaxing too and boy have I enjoyed those days. If you love to exercise daily and don't want to get off track, there is always a gym and a walking track around the ships. At night it's always refreshing to be under the stars with the salty breeze in the air. Let me tell you about the unbelievable food. The options you have at your fingertips. Most all ships have a buffet that you can always enjoy. If you choose to go to the main dinning, which is a beautiful atmosphere where you are served by an incredible wait staff, you will have the option to sit with others or request to sit with your own party. Although the main dining room is fancier than your typical buffet, it still has more of a casual feel. You have the option to look over the menu before you go. You can reserve a time to dine or go when you want, you may have to wait without a time, but usually it's not for long. While you are there you have options on the menu to try things that you may haven't before. I love to order things I haven't tried before because I can order whatever I like too. If you want to order something you do not know and something you do like just ask your wait staff and they will bring it because it's all included! If you prefer to reserve a specialty dining room, like a steakhouse or a specialty cuisine, those are available for an extra cost with a reservation. I enjoy those also, especially for a date night!I have completed several cruise line educational programs. I love working with Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Virgin Voyage. Also, I specialize in Luxury cruises to the South Pacific and I am currently working on Regents Seven Seas now. If you have any questions on cruising or All Inclusive vacations, feel free to reach out to me!

My Reviews

Don’t stress, let her help you!

It’s been an amazing Journey with karen. She came highly Recommended through family and family friends. She makes me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process in addition to helping me with even the things I forget about. She goes the extra mile to check up on me and my little one through the entire process which makes me feel safe and trusting especially as a single mother terrified to travel with my toddler. She responds in a timely manner and always makes me feel like a priority even though she also has a lot on her plate. Her commitment to helping is unmatched and I appreciate everything. I can see why my family and family friends refuse to book with anyone else. I’m so thankful for ms. Karen and I’ll recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent.
