My Story
A cruiser with a historical itinerary in mind.
Travel Style
I think my favorite part of cruising is the “language of land” disappears. Both the crew and experienced cruisers deployed nautical units, while throwing out left and right. Folks stop saying “we are going” and instead say “we are making for,” inserting obscure geographical landmarks only a Boucanier would recognize. Yes, you’ll get the amenities and luxury, but cruising taps into an older genetic memory, an experience of humanity’s life on the seas. Despite the modern sense of security, you’re still at the mercy of the elements, but you’ll be rewarded richly. For every rain shower, there’s a sunset of unbelievable beauty or a starry night that stirs that ancestral imagination of adventure. My motivations to travel are driven by the knowledge of the past, so I yearn to sail in the wake of history.

William made planning our recent cruise completely stress-free from start to finish. From helping us pick the ideal itinerary and ship, to handling all the cabin details and onboard credits, everything was handled seamlessly. When our post-cruise flight was cancelled due to extreme weather, William helped us navigate rebooking our travel plans. It was one of the smoothest, most enjoyable trips we’ve ever taken. We already booked our next cruise with William for February!

William was a pleasure to work with. He took into consideration our family’s travel needs and was very communicative. He also planned out day passes and cabana rentals at the islands so we didn’t have to worry about finding a seat or stress about getting off the boat. He made planning easy and we will definitely use him again for all of our travel needs.

Our travel advisor was great. We told him what type of vacation we wanted, and he made it happen. He helped us to make reservations for dinners and a fishing excursion. Our flights were all set and even a stay at the TWA Hotel at the airport to make it more convenient for early travel. We could not have asked for an easier itinerary.
