Meet our cruise specialists

Sarah
Team Leader
Favorite ship: Queen Mary 2
Favorite destination: Los Angeles and Las Vegas
Best cruise tip: Although cruising is a cashless society it is always a good idea to take some small amounts of local currencies to make purchases when you are ashore.
I love cruising! It is a great way to see the world and make new friends. I have traveled to Western, Southern and Eastern Caribbean, the Mediterranean, South Pacific, Bermuda, New Zealand and Mexico. All of them have been fantastic trips. I enjoy being able to unpack once, being surrounded by friendly staff from all over the world and being able to see several destinations in one trip.

Kirsty
Manager
Favorite ship: Radiance of the Seas
Favorite destination: Croatia & Turkey
Best cruise tip: Check out which ports are famous for what souvenir so you don't purchase everything at the first port of call. Leave plenty of room in your suitcase for your shopping, or pack a carry bag to load with your purchases. The extra bag is also handy for any items you need to "declare" so you don't have to open your main suitcase!
I have worked in travel for since 2003 after living abroad in New York, Calgary and London. I took 5 months off in 2009 to travel around Africa, Spain, Turkey and Croatia. Cruising is an awesome way to travel and I love seeing the growth as more and more Australians & Kiwis get to experience the wonder of "unpacking once" and not lifting a finger for the whole holiday!

Ryan
General Manager
Favorite ship: Pacific Princess
Favorite destination: Mazatlan, Mexico
Best cruise tip: Your cabin steward is the most important crew member on the cruise. Look after them, and they will help make your cruise a very memorable experience.
I was employed as the District Sales Manager for Carnival Australia, based in NZ, before setting up Cruises Online, now Cruise Republic, (the owners of this website) in 2008. I am passionate about cruising and have enjoyed many voyages to and around destinations such as Alaska, Mexico, South Pacific and New Zealand. I have cruised on Pacific Dawn, Pacific Jewel, Pacific Sun, Pacific Star, Sun Princess, Golden Princess, Pacific Princess and Carnival Pride.

Lynnette
Cruise Specialist/Accountant
Favorite ship: Emerald Princess
Favorite destination: Canadian Rockies
Best cruise tip: Well it's not really a tip, but what I love about cruising is that you can visit many different countries... and you only need to upack once! And you can make lots of friends of different nationalities.
I have enjoyed many fantastic cruises - the Emerald Princess around Europe (Barcelona to Venice); P&O Sky Pacific around the Pacific; Star Cruises around Australia, Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia; Norwegian Line Pride of America around Hawaii; Holland America around Alaska's Inside Passage; and Captain Cook cruises in Queensland.

Penni
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Dawn Princess
Favorite destination: Egypt and Fiji
Best cruise tip: Remember to take time relax & do nothing! It's so easy to get caught up in all the extra things to do onboard each day that suddenly you are at the end of your cruise & left wondering where the time went.
I've worked in many aspects of the travel industry for over 16 years & have been selling cruises for more than 2 years. I have travelled extensively within NZ, Australia & the South Pacific, along with smaller trips to Europe & Egypt. I love travelling & helping people plan their dream holidays but really can't think of a better all-inclusive holiday option than cruising if you truely want to be able to rest.

Lee
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Pacific Pearl
Favorite destination: Isle Of Pines & Bali.
Best cruise tip: Pay your gratuities at time of booking so you don't need to worry about them whilst on board.
Coming from a retail travel agency back ground I made the move to only selling cruises in November 2010. In that time I have sold most of the big cruise lines throughout the world. The ships that I have been on are, Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth, Radiance of the Seas, Holland America- Amsterdam, Holland America- Rotterdam, P&O Pacific Pearl, P&O Pacific Sun, Dawn Princess & Sun Princess. I enjoy cruising and think that it is the most amazing way to travel. On board I like to do the trivia afternoons followed by a high tea and then a dance in the night clubs.

Jo
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Diamond Princess, MSC Cruises ships
Favorite destination: Croatia/New York
Best cruise tip: Cruises are a great way to meet new people, so make sure you sit at a large table, even if you have 'Anytime Dining' and join in on the fun.
I have been working in the Cruise Industry for 5 years now. I worked in the United Kingdom for 2 years, as well as Australia and New Zealand. I have been able to go on many International ships and sell some amazing Cruise holiday packages to destinations such as Alaska, Caribbean and the Mediterranean. Apart from my cruise experience I have also traveled around Europe, United States, New Zealand, Australia and more. I have enjoyed visiting many great cities and ports.

Owen
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Dawn Princess
Favorite destination: Alaska
Best cruise tip: It doesn't hurt to pay a little extra to travel in a Balcony Cabin specially on the longer voyages. The experience is worth every penny. AND NEVER FORGET YOUR PASSPORT!
Cruising is one of the most affordable and relaxing way to holiday, hence why the cruising business in Australia has never been busier! I've been in the Cruising Industry for almost 5 years, most of which I've spent working for P&O cruises, Princess Cruises and all the Carnival Products. After travelling on a few ships myself, its easy to understand why some people are hooked!

Chrissy
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Allure of the Seas
Favorite destination: Las Vegas / New York
Best cruise tip: Advise your bank you are going on a cruise before you depart. Cruiselines take daily authorisations on credit card's and there is nothing worse than trying to contact your bank whilst on Holiday.
I've been working in the travel industry for over 11 years now. The last 2 .5 years in cruising, during this time I have had the pleasure of working on board P&O Australia, including Pacific Sun, Dawn and Jewel and traveling to the many South Pacific, Australia and Indonesian ports. I have also experienced working holidays in Canada and the USA, among other destinations i have visited Hong Kong, China and London.

Natalie
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Oasis of the Seas
Favorite destination: Russia
Best cruise tip: Pack sunscreen!
I have been working in various fields within the Tourism Industry for almost 5 years. I have been in New Zealand now going on 3 years, before that I had the opportunity to work in London for 2 years, immigrating from South Africa. I have traveled to Dubai, Singapore, Thailand, Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion , Australia and other interesting destinations. I absolutely love the Cruising World, it has opened up my eyes to a whole new and fantastic way of traveling and seeing the world. I guarantee you will love it as much as I do.

Sam
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Queen Mary 2
Favorite destination: Tahiti and Vancouver
Best cruise tip: Try to check out and book some of your shore excursions before you leave. There's something to suit everyone from tasting the local cuisine to high adrenalin activities or if relaxing on a beach sounds more like your cup of tea then there's always that option for you too! Shore excursions are usually reserved by 'First in, First Served' so book early to avoid missing a spot.
I have been working in the travel industry for 5 years with the majority of this time selling cruises to every corner of the world! I have travelled up into the South Pacific Islands, Australia and NZ, Canada and Indonesia with future plans to travel around Asia and up to Europe.

Lucy
Cruise Specialist
Favorite ship: Oasis of the Seas
Favorite destination: Kyoto, Japan
Best cruise tip: Be sure to check out and book shore excursions before you board as they can fill up quickly. There are some fantastic options, and it is a great way to make to most of your ports.
I am relatively new to the tourism industry, after travelling throughout Asia in 2010/2011 I caught the travel bug and realized my passion for travel. I am very passionate about cruising, I think it is a fantastic way to see the world; it is great value for money, it is a fantastic way to meet people, and best of all, you get to see numerous different destinations and only have to unpack once!
