We can’t be more excited for you. Really. We know what it’s like. If you are here than this means you have an amazing cruise adventure right around the corner. Our goal is to have you not only ready, but stress free before you sail. How often are you so stressed before you travel that you need not just one cruise, but two to feel better? Ok, the two cruise part is not so bad. But the stress is.
We are going to walk you through the 30 days before your cruise, give you tips on everything from packing to getting your documents ready to board your fabulous ship. We will give you last minute questions to ask your Travel Agent and things to research before you go. Over the 30 days leading up to your cruise we want you to get things done methodically and easily. Doesn’t that sound sane?
Shauna is the Cruise Goddess. She has earned that title with over 200 cruises taken! Captain Bert has almost 70 sailings to his Captain’s log.
