Ocean-Yacht-River Cruise Expert For Over 35 Years

Welcome to MY CRUISE DOCTOR - LUXURY WITHOUT LIMITS!

My smile is my logo, my personality my business card, & the way we make people feel about the experience we have planned for them is our trademark!

As a classically trained sales, marketing, & management consulting professional, I have been specializing in designing memorable events & great escapes at sea for over 35 years. They say if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life.

After a 20 year career in the high powered medical device industry, I took my 1st cruise 39 years ago & was HOOKED!  A cruise holiday is the perfect prescription to leave the every day stresses of life behind.

I took my Bachelors Degree in Business/Marketing & talked my way into the sales department of SITMAR CRUISES as a District Sales Manager in CA.

I turned my passion into a profession by starting my own licensed, bonded, certified, & insured, CRUISE ONLY travel agency, in Sarasota FL over 23 years ago.

I have advanced education from the University of Miami as one of the Nation's FIRST Master Cruise Counselors (MCC), & am often quoted in many trade industry articles.

"The world is a book & those who do not travel read only one page" St. Augustine.  I have sailed on over 185 voyages, to 78 countries, on 5 continents including my 106 day CRYSTAL SERENITY WORLD CRUISE in 2006.

"An investment in travel is an investment in yourself" Matthew Karsten.

 "Oh the places you'll go" Dr. Seuss.  

I have fulfilled much of my bucket list destinations:  AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, ISRAEL, EGYPT, EASTER ISLAND, THE GALAPAGOS, PITCAIRN ISLANDS, AFRICA, SOUTH PACIFIC, ASIA, EASTERN & WESTERN EUROPE. The list is endless.

I don't wait for the perfect moment but take that moment & make it GREAT!

So whether it's a milestone occasion, a meeting or incentive, a theme event that informs & inspires, or a fundraising opportunity for me to give back; I can create that celebration that will be remembered for many years to come more effectively, efficiently, with sensational creativity 24 hours a day 7 days a week when YOU are available; a PRICELESS VALUE for sure!

No one is a stranger to me except the person I have yet to meet!

I undwind the MASSIVE amount of internet information to tailor YOU, the guest, to just the perfect holiday on either cruise ship, yacht, or river boat.  An average time is NOT in our vocabulary.

I know enough Spanish to get me & my guests through any Latin based country!

I personally escort 3 - 4 group departures a year just to keep my sea legs flexible!

The many reviews & referrals I receive are a testament to the customer focused attention I deliver 24/7.  

I turn EVERY problem/issue into the ultimate opportunity.  I am ALWAYS there for my guests who end up becoming like our family.

Best planner ever!
Reviewed By Josh from the Mitten - Burtchville, MI | Traveled to Caribbean
I have been using Lisa to book my cruises for over a decade. She is professional, timely and friendly to a fault. What separates her from the industry is she actually cares about her clients and wants them to have a great time first and foremost. She is a truly beautiful human being.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

On Top of All Details
Reviewed By B. Hamilton - Hallandale Beach, FL | Traveled to
Lisa makes taking a cruise super easy and stress free. She planned a great River Cruise for us in Paris for both of our 50th Birthdays. The cruise was great and all details were handled easily and stress free by Lisa which made it fun for us. She even worked with us on using some of our points and frequent flyer miles for the flights. It was a great experience and we will use Lisa again on our next cruise.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
