CRUISES

Cruise the world. Without spending weeks researching it.

From Caribbean weekends to Mediterranean grand voyages — every line, every region, every budget.

WHY ME (NOT THE CRUISE LINE)

If I’m the same price as booking direct, why use me?

Fair question. Most people assume travel advisors cost extra — they don’t. The cruise lines pay me a commission out of their own marketing budget, so the price you pay is exactly the same whether you book through me or through Royal Caribbean’s website. Here’s what changes.

01

You pay the same. Sometimes less.

Cruise lines pay me a commission out of their own marketing budget — not yours. The fare on Royal Caribbean’s site is the fare you pay with me. And when I have access to group rates or promotional pricing, you pay less.

02

You get perks you don’t get direct.

Onboard credit. Beverage packages. Specialty dining. Free gratuities on select sailings. Cabin upgrades when available. These come through advisor channels — book direct and you leave them on the table.

03

You skip the homework.

30+ ships sail the Caribbean alone. 10+ cruise lines. Hundreds of cabin categories. Most cruisers spend 20+ hours comparing options before they book — and still wonder if they picked right. I narrow it to two or three ships that actually fit you, in one conversation.

04

You have someone in your corner.

Itinerary changes. Price drops after booking. Pre-cruise medical issues. Weather rerouting. Cancellations. I’m the person who handles it — not a 90-minute call center hold. You travel. I handle the noise.

WHERE WE’LL SAIl

From the Caribbean to Antarctica.

Whether you're picking your first cruise or your tenth, here's where we can sail.

Where it all starts — and where I sail most. Quick getaways and bucket-list itineraries from PortMiami and Fort Lauderdale.

Mediterranean & Europe

Greek isles, the Italian coast, the French Riviera, and the iconic ports of Northern Europe.

Glaciers, fjords, and wildlife — the bucket-list cruise everyone says they’ll do someday.

Where most travel agents stop, I kept going.

Anyone can call themselves a travel agent. Real cruise specialists complete structured training programs run by the cruise lines themselves — covering everything from ship layouts and itinerary planning to dietary accommodations, accessibility, and on-the-water emergency protocols. I’ve completed three of the most rigorous in the industry.

Royal Caribbean University — Bachelor of Adventure

Royal Caribbean’s foundational advisor certification. Covers ship product knowledge, itinerary planning, cabin categories, and the booking systems behind the world’s largest cruise line.

Royal Caribbean University — Master of Adventure

The advanced certification — completed by a smaller subset of certified RCU advisors. Deeper training on the full fleet, private destinations like CocoCay, and complex group itineraries.

Celebrity Cruises Certified Travel Advisor

Premium cruise certification from Celebrity Cruises. Training on suite-class experiences, modern-luxury positioning, and Celebrity’s distinct dining, wellness, and shore excursion programs.

From Disney to Cunard. From Carnival to Silversea

I’m not tied to any single brand. That means I can pick the line that actually fits your group, budget, and travel style — not the one paying the highest commission this quarter.

And many more — including specialty river lines, expedition operators, and smaller luxury brands. Don’t see a line you’re considering? Just ask.

Booking is the easy part. Here’s what comes with it.

The cruise fare is one line item. Everything around it — picking the right ship, securing perks, coordinating pre-cruise hotels and flights, locking in onboard reservations, monitoring for price drops — is where most of the work happens. Here’s what I handle.

  1. Cruise line, ship, itinerary, and cabin selection — matched to your group, budget, and travel style
  2. Onboard credit, beverage packages, and gratuity perks — when available through advisor channels on your sailing
  3. Pre-cruise hotel, flights, and airport-to-port transfers — coordinated so nothing goes wrong before you board
  4. Onboard reservations made before sailing — specialty dining, shows, spa appointments, kids’ clubs, shore excursions
  5. Price drop monitoring through final payment — if the fare drops between booking and sailing, I request the lower rate. Most cruise lines honor it. The booking site won’t do this for you
  6. 24/7 support during your trip — flight delay, lost luggage, medical issue, weather rerouting. I’m the call you make. Not a 90-minute hold with a call center

Three steps from idea to embarkation.

Here’s what happens between hello and bon voyage.

01

Tell me about your cruise.

Free 30-minute call. We’ll talk through destination, dates, who’s coming, budget, and what kind of cruise experience you’re picturing — first-timer Caribbean weekend, multi-generational family trip, milestone anniversary, or bucket-list Mediterranean. No pressure to book.

02

Get 2 or 3 curated options.

I’ll send a written proposal with two or three specific recommendations — cruise line, ship, sailing date, cabin category, total price, and any perks available. You compare them side-by-side and we adjust until one feels right.

03

Book, prep, sail.

Once you pick, I handle the booking, deposit, payment plan, pre-cruise hotel, flights, transfers, and onboard reservations. You arrive at the port with everything sorted. I’m available the entire time you’re at sea — including weekends and after hours.

  • Angie removed all the stress from planning our mini-moon cruise vacation. She was patient in answering all of our questions, timely in her communication, and found a trip that aligned with our budget, our needs and even made it better with a surprise when we arrived to our destination! I couldn’t recommend her enough and would definitely utilize her services

  • Angie is so amazing in every way possible! She planned the best cruise for my friends and I. I love to travel but I have anxiety, so planning trips on my own is a nightmare. Angie was so organized and able to answer any questions I had about any details of the trip. She also is great at finding the best deals to make trips affordable! I will definitely book through Simply Adventurous Travel again 😀

Common questions, honestly answered.

If your question isn’t here, just ask — I’ll get back to you within a business day

No. The cruise lines pay me a commission out of their own marketing budget — you pay the same fare you’d pay booking directly on their website. When I have access to group rates or advisor-only promotions, the price is actually lower.

I monitor sailings through final payment. If the rate drops on the same cabin category after you book, I request the adjustment with the cruise line. Most lines honor it. That’s not something the cruise line’s website will do for you automatically.

No. I can handle just the cruise if you prefer, or coordinate the full package — flights, hotel, transfers, excursions. Most clients let me handle everything because that’s where the timing details matter most (you don’t want to arrive at PortMiami five hours before boarding closes).

Cancellation policies vary by cruise line, fare type, and how close to sailing you are. We go over the specific terms before you book, and I always recommend travel insurance — it’s the difference between a tough situation and a financial loss. If you do need to cancel, I handle the process with the cruise line on your behalf.

Depends on the cruise. Popular sailings — Alaska in summer, Caribbean during holidays, Mediterranean in shoulder season — often book 9-12 months out. Less in-demand sailings have availability closer to departure. The earlier you book, the more cabin selection and promotional pricing you’ll have.

That’s where I’m most useful. We’ll talk through the basics — destinations, ship sizes, cabin categories, what’s included in the fare and what isn’t — so by the time you book, you’re not guessing. Many of my clients are first-timers.
