I have to admit I don't really have a job. The only time it has been close to being a job was last September after the hurricane. That was not fun. I had 20 cruises scheduled that week... all on Carnival...who had a lot of ships in the ocean that week. This meant a lot of cancelled cruises, a lot of upset people and a lot of time on the phone. I can't even imagine what that company went through :(
Most of my hours I get to help people have fun. I have gotten to plan a marriage proposal, a wedding onboard, reunions, fundraisers, family celebrations, etc. I have always loved to have an event, a theme, a celebration reason, etc. and just run with it. That is why my "other hat" is the Social Director in a 55+ Community here in Pinellas Park, FL. I am fortunate to be married (for many years) to a guy who pays the bills. I can volunteer in my neighborhood putting on events and every once in a while, take some of them on a cruise too.
I am new at this for a job but I have been on 87 cruises. I have travelled to most of the US states, Canada, South America and Europe. Now, a lot of this is when I was younger and had parents paying for it, but needless to say, I love travel. I do not know as much as I should but I know how to assist you or find someone who can. (The guy who owns the agency I work through, Jay Getman of 66th Street/Cutting Edge Travel, has been doing it since he was born).

- I want the challenge, I want to help you plan, I want to assist you in making people around you happy.
- I want to help you pick the right cruise, the right ship and the right cabin.
- I want to surprise your family, surprise you and do what it takes.
- I will travel with your group and help if needed...if not I will just buy you a drink.
Last month I got to help a mother/grandmother plan a summer Carnival cruise for her entire family. She is giving them this gift for Christmas and wanted to have something to wrap for under the tree. They have never been on a cruise or a vacation all at the same time. Together we made luggage tags, lanyards and laminate placemats to everyone. It was a blast!
This is what I do and this is why I do it! I can't wait to see the photos of those grandkids!
Today I was honored by winning the Grand Prize in a Travel Agent contest from Carnival....just another perfect in doing what I love to do!
