About The Cruising Firefighter
I’m not here to sell you the “perfect” cruise. I’m here to help you choose the right cruise for you.
I’m a career wildland firefighter with decades of real-world experience making high-pressure decisions where details matter. When I’m not working fires, I love to cruise.
Over the years, I’ve sailed multiple cruise lines, ships, itineraries, and cabin types. I’ve booked my own trips, helped friends and family plan theirs, and learned first-hand what actually matters once you’re onboard, and what doesn’t.
As a travel advisor, I combine that real cruise experience with industry access, tools, and support you won’t get booking on your own. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just honest guidance, practical advice, and help navigating the options so you can cruise with confidence.
Whether you’re brand new to cruising or looking to fine-tune your next trip, my goal is simple: make the process easier, clearer, and a whole lot less stressful.
How I Help You Cruise Smarter
Cruise planning today is overwhelming. Too many options, too much conflicting advice, and not enough real-world perspective.
I help cut through the noise. I take the time to understand what you’re actually looking for - the vibe, the ship size, the itinerary, the budget, and the things that matter most to you.
I’ll help you compare real options, explain the trade-offs, and make informed decisions without pressure or upselling. If something isn’t a good fit, I’ll tell you. If there’s a better option you haven’t considered, I’ll show you why.
My role is simple: give you clear guidance, handle the details, and make sure you feel confident about your cruise before you ever step onboard.
I don’t charge a planning fee for cruise bookings. My services are paid by the cruise line, not added to your vacation cost.
Who I’m A Good Fit For
I work best with travelers who want honest guidance and a straightforward planning process.
If you’re looking for clear advice, realistic expectations, and help narrowing down options that actually fit your style, we’ll work well together.
I’m especially helpful if you:
Want help choosing between cruise lines, ships, or itineraries
Prefer real-world insight over marketing hype
Appreciate clear communication and practical advice
Want support before, during, and after booking
If you’re just price shopping, want the cheapest option no matter what, or prefer to book everything yourself without input, I may not be the right fit, and that’s okay.
My goal is to help travelers who value experience, clarity, and confidence in their choices.
