Start Planning Your Royal Caribbean Cruise... At No Extra Cost to You!
Personalized Recommendations · No-Pressure Planning · No Additional Planning Fee
Planning a cruise should be exciting, not overwhelming.
As a cruise planning advisor, I provide personalized cruise planning services at no additional cost to you, helping you find and book the cruise vacation that fits your travel plans, preferences, and budget.
If you're considering a Royal Caribbean cruise or planning a cruise vacation for the first time, you'll have personal assistance from the planning stage through your cruise preparations.
There is no additional fee for my cruise planning services!
When booking your eligible cruise, I can assist with the planning and booking process without adding a separate planning fee to your vacation.
First Cruise? Questions Are Always Welcome.
There are no “silly” cruise questions. If you're wondering about it, please ask.
Part of cruise planning and being a cruise advisor is helping you understand the process before you sail.
Hello, I'm Nikki!
I'm an independent travel advisor with Best Day Ever Vacations.
I help travelers plan cruise vacations with personalized guidance from the initial search through cruise preparation.
I currently specialize in Royal Caribbean cruise vacations, with a particular interest in helping first-time cruisers feel comfortable and informed throughout the planning process.
Planning Based on You, Not a Sales Pitch
Your cruise recommendations start with your preferences.
I'll take the time to learn what you're looking for in a cruise vacation, including your travel dates, budget, destinations, stateroom preferences, who you're traveling with, and what's most important to you.
From there, I'll help you explore cruise options that fit those preferences and explain the differences so you can make an informed decision.
There's no pressure to choose a particular cruise, ship, stateroom, or upgrade.
My role is to provide personalized options, answer your questions, and help you find a cruise that feels right for you.
Not sure where to begin? That's okay.
You don't need to have your cruise figured out before contacting me.
Share what you already know:
- Your approximate dates
- Budget
- Who you are traveling with
- Destinations you are considering
- or even simply the kind of vacation you would like to have.
I'll use those preferences to suggest options for you to consider.
You'll decide what works for you, without pressure to book something that doesn't suit you.
Let's Work Together To Find the Right Royal Caribbean Cruise...
With so many ships, destinations, itineraries, stateroom categories, dining options, and onboard experiences, choosing a Royal Caribbean cruise can involve a lot of decisions.
I'll help you navigate those choices and plan a vacation based on your priorities, not simply what's available to book.
Cruise planning assistance can include:
- Finding and comparing Royal Caribbean cruises
- Choosing an itinerary and ship
- Reviewing stateroom options
- Understanding what's included in your cruise fare
- Navigating important booking dates and cruise preparations
- Answering questions before you sail
Need Flights Too? I Can Help With Cruise-Line Air.
Getting to your cruise is an important part of the vacation plan. If you're flying to your embarkation port, I can also assist with airfare booked through the cruise line as part of your cruise vacation.
When cruise-line air is available for your sailing, I can help you review the available flight options and incorporate your air arrangements into your overall cruise plans.
This can make it easier to coordinate important travel details in one place while planning your cruise vacation.
Cruise-line flight assistance may include:
- Reviewing available cruise-line air options
- Adding eligible flights to your cruise reservation
- Coordinating flight dates with your cruise
- Planning for arrival before embarkation
- Reviewing available transportation or transfer options when applicable
Flight availability, pricing, schedules, terms, and protections vary by cruise line, itinerary, departure city, and airline.
Make Your Cruise Vacation More Than Just the Cruise.
Your vacation doesn't necessarily have to begin on embarkation day or end when you step off the ship.
I can also help arrange pre- and post-cruise hotel accommodations, whether you want to arrive before your cruise, stay an extra night after disembarkation, or turn your cruise into a longer getaway.
Pre-cruise hotels can give you time to arrive at your embarkation city before sailing, settle in, and start your vacation without making embarkation morning your travel day.
Post-cruise hotels are an option when you'd like to spend more time exploring your destination or simply aren't ready for the vacation to end.
Hotel planning assistance can include:
- Pre-cruise hotel accommodations
- Post-cruise hotel accommodations
- Hotels convenient to your cruise departure area
- Options based on your preferences and budget
- Coordinating hotel dates with your cruise itinerary
Your First Cruise Starts With the Right Plan.
If you've never cruised before, the number of choices can seem overwhelming.
- Which ship?
- Which itinerary?
- Which stateroom?
- What's included?
- What needs to be reserved ahead of time?
That's exactly where a cruise advisor can help.
I'll walk you through the planning process, answer your questions, and help you understand what to expect so you can spend less time trying to figure everything out and more time looking forward to your vacation.
And don't worry if you don't know what questions to ask yet. I'll help you think through the details that matter for your first cruise—from choosing the right sailing and stateroom to understanding dining, gratuities, onboard expenses, check-in, travel documents, embarkation day, and what you'll want to take care of before you sail.
You'll have someone to turn to when those inevitable first-cruise questions come up along the way.
