About Us Countdown to Your Cruise

Captain Bert and the Cruise Goddess! We have had a love for the water our whole lives! We are avid Travel Professionals and absolute cruise lovers. We are both sailors and together own a 30 foot Catalina sailboat. It’s no wonder we found each other! What better way to keep our love alive than on the high seas? Sunsets and beaches, traveling the world on the most luxurious ships at sea and experiencing new cultures and people are what keeps us captivated with the amazing world of cruising.

How captivated you ask? Shauna, the Cruise Goddess, has taken 207 cruises in her young life! Bert is nearing the 70 cruises mark. So, if anyone knows how to do a 30 day cruise countdown it is Captain Bert and the Cruise Goddess.

Bert Grimm and Shauna HoffmanSHAUNA HOFFMAN- As the owner of Whodunit Productions, Shauna was one of the first theme cruise producers for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. For over 20 years she brought full casts to perform Mystery cruises on the high seas. Now Shauna is an at sea event producer for corporations, authors, musicians and more. Shauna is a widely known Travel Speaker who has presented to such clients as Cruise Planners American Express,  Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and OSSN. She has packed many a suitcase for travels all over the world!

BERT GRIMM- is a Travel Photographer and Videographer, Website Guru and spirited world traveler. He has worked for the past 10 years creating video content for websites, authors and speakers nationwide. Travel became his focus when he lived in Togo, West Africa, as a Peace Corps volunteer. Soon his love of art took him to the Caribbean where he started Tamatete Art Gallery and imported art from all over the world. He brings his passion for people, travel, and visual beauty to everything he touches, whether it be a website he designs or a video he produces. He too has packed many a suitcase…and camera bag…!

When not on a cruise adventure, we live in Southern California, sail our sailboat “The Illusion”, hang out with our two cats and two collies and love life.
