Planning a cruise should feel straightforward, not overwhelming.
If you already know Norwegian Cruise Line® is a good fit for how you like to travel, this is where the process becomes clearer and more personal. I help you navigate ships, cabins, itineraries, and timing so your cruise delivers the experience you're after, not just what happens to be available.
My value is in the decisions you don't have to make. I do the research, form a view, and bring you a recommendation, not a list to sort through.
This service is designed for travelers who:
If you enjoy researching every detail yourself or are only looking for the lowest possible price, booking directly through the cruise line may be a better option. My role is to help travelers who want clarity, confidence, and support throughout the planning process.

Cruise planning is more than picking dates and clicking "book."
When you work with me, I help you:
You receive guidance based on experience and context, not scripts or sales quotas.
"Everything on the trip went smooth. I highly recommend having Scott help you on your next vacation or cruise!"
— Josh N.
"Scott responds very quickly and has great follow through! He is very organized and that made me feel comfortable."
— Stacey W.
You share your dates, destinations, priorities, and travel style through a short form or a brief call.
I review ships, cabins, itineraries, and pricing, then bring you the recommendation that best fits your trip, with the reasons behind it.
Once booked, the same person who planned your trip stays your point of contact for questions, changes, and pre-departure planning, through embarkation and into the next trip.
Thoughtful cruise planning takes time and professional expertise. To ensure I can provide personalized, well-researched recommendations, I charge a planning fee.
$200
Ideal for individuals, couples, and families booking a single sailing.
$300–$500
For multi-cabin bookings, group travel, or trips involving flights, hotels, or additional coordination.
This structure allows me to focus on travelers who want the right cruise, not just a quick transaction.
Norwegian Cruise Line® offers flexibility that appeals to many travelers, but that flexibility also means more decisions that actually matter.
My role is to help you understand those choices, avoid common missteps, and book with confidence. I don't push specific sailings or upsells. I help you select what makes sense for your trip.
You can expect clear recommendations, straightforward communication, and support throughout the process.
No, though Norwegian Cruise Line® is my specialty and usually where I can add the most value. I am not locked to it. When Norwegian is not the right fit for your trip, I will tell you and book the line that is, including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America, or Princess. You still get one clear recommendation and the reasons behind it, not a menu.
No. Your cruise fare is never higher than booking directly with Norwegian Cruise Line®. Planning fees cover advisory time and research, not markup.
The planning fee covers personalized research, itinerary and ship comparison, cabin guidance, booking support, and ongoing assistance before and after you sail. It ensures my time is focused on travelers who want thoughtful planning.
That's fine. Many travelers start with a conversation or form submission to explore options. If it turns out you're not ready, we'll say so openly.
Yes. I regularly assist with air, pre- or post-cruise hotels, transfers, and group bookings when those elements are part of the trip.
You work with me start to finish. The person who plans your trip is the person who answers when a flight moves or a question comes up, on this trip and the next. Most of my business comes from referrals, which only works when the relationship is real and it lasts.
No. I give you a recommendation. Sorting options is the work you hired me to take off your plate. If the honest answer is a different ship, or even a different line, I will say so. You still get one clear pick and the reasons for it, not a menu.
