Cruise Vacation Consultant

Sunset at sea: the best way to end the day.

A true cruise enthusiast, I am an expert in matching cruise guests with the perfect cruise experience according to their preferences. As the cruise industry has grown and evolved, the number of cruise options has expanded at an overwhelming pace. There are so many new ships, destinations, and amenities on board and it can be hard to choose. With a foundation of expertise based on years of professional and personal cruise experience, as well as a commitment to education and partnerships with the cruise lines, I assist my clients in finding the perfect option. Whether booking their 1st cruise or their 100th, I provide advice, guidance, and access to the best pricing and promotions across all cruise lines to help them navigate the perfect cruise vacation supported by dedicated, personalized service at every step — before, during and after their cruise.

My first introduction to cruising was a famliy vacation in 2004 and I was immediately hooked! Waking up in a new destination each morning was exciting, and life on board was so satisfying. I so appreciated the attentive service of the crew and enjoyed talking to them and learning about their home countries. Cruise ship crew are some of the finest people you will ever meet. I loved everything about the experience -- the entertainment, the food, the spa, the pool the ports -- with one exception: having to get off and go home at the end of the cruise! I quickly learned that the quickest fix for post-cruise depression was to book another cruise. 

Since then I have crossed oceans around the world and sailed on many seas. I've completed my quest to visit all 7 continents. Cruise ships have taken me to sophisticated cities and remote wildnernesses, allowing me to explore both the height of civilized culture and the peaks of natural wonder. But I also love the balance of exploration and relaxation found in cruising. A busy day of adventure in port can be followed by a day at sea with no land in sight, and no agenda other than watching the sun rise and set on the water. 

I love to share that joy with clients who are booking cruise vacations. It is the perfect vacation for anyone -- as long as they are matched with an appropriate experience. Not every cruise line, ship or destination is right for everybody, and I specialize in matching my clients to an experience that meets their expectations and preferences. From multi-generational families looking for common ground, to solo travelers looking for a combination of privacy and connection, I help them navigate the options and make educated choices. Some seek excitement and adventure on ships with onboard roller coasters, sky diving and bumper cars. Others seek sophisticated culinary experiences in a more formal setting. 

Professionally, I have partnered with all major cruise lines to complete their training and to develop relationships that benefit my clients. I offer access to exclusive pricing and promotions and often save clients money by directing them to the best value rather than just the cheapest option. I offer personal service throughout the process of booking a cruise -- before, during and after -- to ensure that every detail of my client's experience is examined. I assist with the logistics of getting to and from the embarkation port, booking flights, pre- and post-cruise accommodations, rental cars, and any other travel needs. I explain the benefits of travel insurance and help clients choose the appropriate coverage. I ofer advice and guidance on shore excursions, onboard dining and services, and insider tips that enhance their experience.  Clear communication is a hallmark of my service, ensuring that clients are prepared to board the ship and enjoy every moment of their cruise without worry or anxiety. 

Trust an expert travel advisor with the passion for cruisin and a commitment to her clients.

Worth her weight in gold!
Pamela was recommended to me from a close friend. She helped me decide between three vacation ideas. Once we were set she probably answered 4-5 more phone calls where questions needed answers and she always answered her phone (even on a Sunday). The information she provided via email prepared us well and she was always a phone call away.

The Most Pleasant Travel Experience
Pam was such a pleasure to work with. She came highly recommended and I can absolutely see why! Every single part of our trip that Pam planned went off without a single problem and the itinerary she provided us with was so detailed, we never had any questions. It was such an easy and efficient way of traveling and made the trip so much more enjoyable. We truly felt that we got the full Iceland experience within the time/budget constraints that we provided. And we still felt luxurious at every step! <br/><br/>I will be recommending Coastwise Travel to friends and family near and far from here on out! We can’t wait to work with you again, Pam! Thank you for helping us have the best honeymoon possible!!
