About
Hi, I'm Katie Franklin!
After spending 20 years as a Registered Nurse caring for people, I decided to turn another lifelong passion — travel — into a career.
Today, I help families, couples, and cruise lovers plan unforgettable vacations with confidence and ease.
What nursing taught me
My nursing career taught me the importance of careful planning, attention to detail, and truly listening to each person's needs — qualities that now guide the way I plan every vacation. Whether you're traveling with children, seniors, or someone with special accommodations, I'm committed to making the planning process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
What I book
While Caribbean cruises — especially Royal Caribbean — are my specialty, I also book all major cruise lines, river cruises, luxury cruises, all-inclusive resorts, hotels, and customized land vacations.
Training and firsthand experience
I hold the Royal Caribbean Masters certification from Royal Caribbean University and a Master's Degree from Norwegian Cruise Line University, I'm an Aruba Certified Expert, and I've personally sailed on nine Royal Caribbean cruises as well as Disney Cruise Line. My firsthand experience allows me to provide practical recommendations, insider tips, and honest guidance to help you choose the vacation that's the perfect fit.
Let's plan something
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, planning a family vacation, or simply ready for a well-deserved getaway, I'm here to take care of the details so you can focus on making memories.
I look forward to helping you plan your next adventure!
And it costs you nothing extra
The cruise lines pay me a commission out of the fare you were going to pay anyway. Booking through me is the same price as booking direct — occasionally better, when I have access to a group rate or a promotion that isn't public.
Qualifications
Royal Caribbean Masters
Royal Caribbean University's top advisor qualification - the fleet, the itineraries and the booking systems, in depth.
Norwegian Master's Degree
NCL University's Master's Degree, awarded July 2026 - the same depth of training on Norwegian's fleet and its Freestyle Cruising approach.
Aruba Certified Expert
Aruba's official destination training. Recognised expertise on the island, its beaches and its shore excursions.
20 years as a Registered Nurse
Two decades of careful planning, attention to detail, and listening properly - which turns out to be most of this job.
What working with me is like
- Tell me who's traveling and what you're hoping for — I'll come back with real options and real prices.
- Ask as many questions as you want. There is no such thing as a dumb cruise question, and I've heard all the ones you think are dumb.
- Once you book, I keep watching. Price drops, upgrade offers, itinerary changes — I'm tracking them so you don't have to.
- Special accommodations, dietary needs, mobility considerations, connecting cabins — tell me early and I'll build the trip around them.
- If something goes sideways while you're traveling, you have my number.
Ready when you are.
No pressure, no obligation, and no cost. Just tell me roughly when you want to go.
