Get to Know Your Travel Advisor: Q&A with Betsy – Cruising, All Inclusives and More!

Q: How did you get started as a travel advisor?
A: I’ve always loved to travel — my first vacation was at just 6 weeks old! After planning countless trips for friends and family, I realized I could turn my passion into a career. Now, I help others experience the joy of travel, whether it’s their first big trip or their tenth cruise.

Q: What kinds of vacations do you specialize in?
A: I focus on ocean and river cruises, all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico, and guided tours across the globe. I’m especially passionate about cruises — I sail regularly so I can give my clients real, firsthand recommendations.

Q: What makes your services different from booking online?
A: I’m here to simplify the process and elevate your experience. From matching you with the perfect resort or cruise to monitoring for price drops or perks, I take care of the details — and you get personalized service with no added stress.

Q: Do you charge planning fees?
A: Only for complex custom European itineraries — for most cruises and resort stays, my services are complimentary to you. My goal is to provide expert guidance that adds value and peace of mind to your vacation planning.

Q: Who are your ideal clients?
A: I work with couples, empty nesters, families, and groups — anyone looking for a great experience at a fair price. Whether you’re dreaming of the beach, the Danube, or a bucket list adventure, I’m here to help you book FORWARD to travel.

Q: What’s your favorite trip you’ve ever taken?
A: That’s tough! But a river cruise through Europe is hard to beat. The scenery, the food, the castles — magical! I also love the energy of an ocean cruise sea day. There’s always something fun to do, or a quiet spot to relax if that’s more your vibe. My trip to Ireland with Globus last year is also pretty high up on that list too.

Q: What’s something your clients might be surprised to learn?
A: I visit many of the resorts and cruise ships I recommend — either through FAM trips, conferences, or my own vacations. I’m constantly learning, exploring, and keeping up with the latest so my clients get the most up-to-date advice.

Q: What’s the best way to work with you?
A: Just email me! I’ll ask a few key questions about your travel style and preferences, then we’ll start planning something amazing. From there, I’ll take care of the research, booking, and prep so you can focus on getting excited.

Your next adventure starts with a conversation.

If you’re ready to cruise, explore, or simply relax on a beach, I’d love to help you plan something unforgettable.
