Team Leader
Favourite ship: Queen Mary 2
Favourite 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, 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.

Favourite ship: Celebrity Solstice
Favourite 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!

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 am passionate about cruising and have enjoyed many voyages to and around destinations such as Alaska, Mexico, South Pacific and New Zealand.

Cruise Specialist
Favourite ship: Dawn Princess
Favourite 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.

Best cruise tip: Book a late dinner so that you don't have to rush back from a shore excursion to dine.

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 all 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, Dawn Princess, Sun Princess, Carnival Spirit, Celebrity Solstice & Sea 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. I take a interest in disabled cabins and you can read more about this through my blog. Coming from a retail travel agency back ground I made the move to only selling cruises in November 2010.

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.

Favourite ship: Queen Mary 2
Favourite 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. Try to check out and book some of your shore excursions before you leave.

Best cruise tip: Book on decks 6-8 as close as you can to the centre of the boat and pay the little bit extra for a balcony..worth it every time :)

I have been in the travel industry now for over 5 years after stints living abroad in England, Spain, Mexico and Argentina.
