About Me

About Me

Matt Spence

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. Whether you're trying to figure out which ship is right for your family, wondering what to actually pack, or just dreaming about your next sailing — you're in the right place. 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.
