Cruising Collaboration
Hey there!
I'm Michelle, a cruise enthusiast since '93, I've sailed with many of the major cruise lines. With five years as a travel advisor, I have learned tips and tricks to help you navigate the cruise industry. I've explored the Caribbean, Alaska, the Med, and beyond. I love discovering new ships, soaking up local culture at ports, and trying both ship and independent excursions. Cruising, to me, is unbeatable value—unpack once, see multiple spots, enjoy great food and service. I would love to hear your cruise stories or help answer your questions about cruising. Join my Facebook Group to collaborate about all things cruise related! Let's set sail together!
