Royal Caribbean Is What I Do Best
Most travel advisors book a little of everything and know a little about everything. I made a deliberate choice to go deep on one line instead — and Royal Caribbean is the one I know inside out.
Why specialize at all?
Because "we book all the cruise lines" tells you nothing useful. Royal Caribbean alone has seven ship classes, more than two dozen ships, and dozens of cabin categories on each one. The difference between a good week and a frustrating one is almost always in those details — which deck, which side, which ship, which week.
You can't hold that much detail for eight cruise lines at once. So I don't try.
What that means for you
When you tell me who's traveling and what you want out of the week, I'm not looking it up. I already know which ship fits, which cabins to avoid, and whether the sailing you're looking at is priced well for the season.
What I bring to a Royal Caribbean booking
- Nine Royal Caribbean sailings of my own. I've walked these ships. The advice is firsthand, not from a brochure.
- Royal Caribbean Masters certified. The top qualification from Royal Caribbean University, their training program for travel advisors — covering the fleet, the itineraries and the booking systems in depth.
- Ship-by-ship cabin knowledge. Which balconies are worth the upgrade, which cabins sit under the pool deck, which connecting rooms actually connect.
- Crown & Anchor Society. If you have status, I'll make sure it's attached and that you're getting what it entitles you to.
- Price monitoring after you book. Royal Caribbean fares move constantly. I watch yours and reprice when they drop before final payment.
The fleet, by class
Ship class matters more than ship name — it determines the size, the layout and most of what there is to do onboard. Each one below has its own page.

Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas, and for a lot of families it ends up being the best day of the week. There's a free side and a paid side, and knowing which extras are worth booking — and which sell out months ahead — is exactly the kind of thing I'll walk you through before you sail.
When Royal Caribbean isn't the right answer
Sometimes it isn't, and I'll say so. If you want an adults-only week, a small ship that docks in tiny European ports, or an all-inclusive fare with no add-ons, another line will serve you better — and I book those too.
Specializing means knowing one line properly. It doesn't mean pretending it's right for everyone.
