I have spent years working in cruising, holding roles from customer service to corporate communications at World Travel Holdings, and Personal Vacation Planner at Carnival.

I know this industry, and I'm passionate about it. I operate on my own terms as an independent travel advisor affiliated with Cruise Brothers. I keep weird hours, so I'll answer a middle-of-the-night email, and I will not under any circumstances call you at 8am.

I know my clients respond well to the way I operate. Some of you don't like talking on the phone, some of you need to text me at 3am, and for some of you the idea of planning an entire cruise yourself destroys every ounce of joy you hold.

CruiseDecoder as an information site is a work in progress.

My goal is to arm you with knowledge so you feel good about every decision you make in the booking process - and about every dollar spent. Whether this is your first or twentieth cruise, I got you every step of the way, no matter what comes up.
