About Travel Planning 4 U

With a lifelong passion for travel and a fondness for cruise vacations, I established Travel Planning 4 U in 2016 to share my expertise with fellow adventurers. I began helping family and friends plan dream getaways, which has blossomed into a dedicated pursuit of curating extraordinary cruise experiences.

With over 30 years of sailing experience on most major cruise lines and more than 500 nights at sea, I bring extensive knowledge of itineraries, ship amenities, and cruise experiences to each client’s vacation planning. Whether it's a family getaway, a luxurious escape, or a solo adventure, I tailor each trip to meet the unique needs of my clients. My passion for cruising is matched by a commitment to delivering personalized, stress-free travel planning, ensuring every detail is managed from embarkation to disembarkation.

As an active member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), I proudly hold the Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) Certification. I am also an active member of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), holding the prestigious Accredited Cruise Counselor (ACC), Master Cruise Counselor (MCC), and Elite Cruise Counselor (ECC) certifications.

Additionally, I have specialized training certifications with top travel providers including AmaWaterways, American Cruise Lines, Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Disney, Holland America, Norwegian, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Regent Seven Seas, Viking, Virgin Voyages, as well as Signature Travel Network, ALG Vacations, and Marriott.

My commitment to continuous learning extends to attending annual trade conferences, such as Cruise World and Cruise360, and participating in cruise line trainings and ship inspections. These experiences fuel my passion and ensure I stay ahead of the curve, offering insider insights that elevate every journey.

With over three decades of experience in accounting, including a bachelor's and master's degree and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential, I bring a meticulous eye for detail and organization to every booking. This background enables me to seamlessly manage individual and group reservations, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

At Travel Planning 4 U, my role extends beyond mere trip planning; I serve as your personal concierge. From the initial booking to addressing any queries along the way, I'm readily available to refine itineraries, provide invaluable advice, and ensure a stress-free vacation of a lifetime. With access to exclusive promotions and pricing, I strive to deliver unparalleled value and unforgettable adventures tailored to your unique preferences.

Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, allow me to be your trusted guide as we embark on an extraordinary cruise journey crafted just for you. With a deep passion for travel, extensive industry knowledge, and a commitment to personalized service, I'm excited to bring your dream vacation to life by doing the Travel Planning 4 U.
