Cruising

In 2010 I became a Travel Adviser and started out doing cruises. I love to cruise, vacation, and feel pampered while I am relaxing enjoying life. About eight years ago, I was introduced to Sandals and Beaches Resorts. All Inclusive is the way to go! On one of my stays at a Sandals Resort, I witnessed a Destination Wedding. I was so intrigued how it was put together that I had so many questions. I was influenced by one of my peers to begin learning more about the process for the destination weddings. Once I learned more about what people were visioning for their special day, I got off the high seas (cruising) for a bit and started to focus on destination weddings. I love working with couples, seeing their visions, and help make their dreams come true on their special day. I like to work with resorts who go out of their way to make the couple happy. I do work with Sandals Resorts as I feel that they have the best to offer as far as a job well done. I enjoy working with other resorts as well. I not only enjoy booking destination weddings, but also family and group vacations. Whether you are looking for an all-inclusive or a simple weekend getaway cruise, I can help you book that vacation. My personal favorite Caribbean Island is Jamaica. I love the people, music, and the Food. Jamaican people always make you feel at home, at lease that is how they make me feel. Although, there are many wonderful Islands in the Caribbean.Being a Travel Adviser makes me happy knowing I can assist others who want to travel and make memories. Hearing back from my clients when they return is something I live for! I encourage my guests to share photos with me because I want to know what an amazing time they had. Whether it’s a wedding, honeymoon or just a family vacation, it's truly wonderful to make people happy!I have taken many trainings for both destination weddings and cruises. I am a Master Cruise Counselor, Sandals Destination Wedding Specialist. After all this time in the industry, I finally committed to taking the actual Certified Travel Associate program. I strive to continue to broaden my education as something is always new and changing.

It’s been an amazing Journey with karen. She came highly Recommended through family and family friends. She makes me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process in addition to helping me with even the things I forget about. She goes the extra mile to check up on me and my little one through the entire process which makes me feel safe and trusting especially as a single mother terrified to travel with my toddler. She responds in a timely manner and always makes me feel like a priority even though she also has a lot on her plate. Her commitment to helping is unmatched and I appreciate everything. I can see why my family and family friends refuse to book with anyone else. I’m so thankful for ms. Karen and I’ll recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent.

Excellent experience working with Karen. Her knowledge and professionalism, along with her passion for travel sets her apart.

Frankie S. - Barbados ~ Caribbean

From start to finish Karen was excellent to work with! She made planning a girls trip super easy. We LOVED her resort recommendation. The entire booking process and trip was seamless. <br/><br/>We stayed at the Royalton in Cancun - the resort, food and staff were top notch! Diamond Club is the way to go!! These were all recommendations from Karen.

Stephanie - Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

I have now used her two times and been satisfied both times.

tia - Ocho Rios ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean

I had the pleasure to work with Karen Watson for all our cruise vacations.<br/>She answered all our questions and handled all the paperwork expeditiously. Balcony room for the win!! For the very last cruise, Unfortunately, my sister passed away unexpectedly the week of our cruise, I called Karen and she handled all the phone calls to cancel the trip and rescheduled the trip within 24 hours. Karens customer service is impeccable. All our cruises have been suggestions from her experiences and for my husband and myself every cruise has been a fun and great experience. Thank you Karen!
