I created Cruise Junkies as a place for real cruise lovers (and curious first-timers) to get honest advice, trip inspiration, and all the tips I wish someone had told me before I stepped foot on my first ship. My happy place is standing on a deck somewhere between the horizon and a cold drink. I'm a cruise-only travel specialist, which means this isn't just a hobby — I help real families plan real vacations, and I've poured everything I've learned into this blog.

I'll be your cruise-obsessed best friend who's already done the research so you don't have to. Welcome aboard. Let's plan something amazing.
