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!
BON VOYAGE!
