New: I plan cruises now.
HOW CRUISE PLANNING WORKS →My flat $199 cruise fee covers the research, cabin strategy, dining reservations and honest shore-day advice - any line, any ship, any sailing. Cruise lines also pay advisors a standard commission, and your fare stays the same as booking direct. Two sailings we know cold to start with:
Caribbean cruise
7 NIGHTS · SAN JUAN R/TSt. Thomas, St. Maarten, Antigua and more - we've cruised these waters ourselves and lived on them for years in Puerto Rico, so we know which shore days are worth it and which to skip.
Western Mediterranean cruise
7–10 NIGHTS · BARCELONA R/TSpain, Gibraltar and Morocco - the same coastline we traveled port by port on land. We can tell you what's actually at the end of each gangway.
