Caribbean group travel

Twenty-two people.
One set of dates.
Nobody mad at you.

I plan Caribbean and cruise travel for families and groups going somewhere together on purpose. You choose the reason and the people. Everything after that is mine.

Trish, Caribbean travel advisor
You are invited to enjoy the trip you planned.

The job nobody volunteered for

Someone in the family always ends up organizing it.

It is usually whoever is best at it, which is a poor reward for being good at things.

You are collecting passport numbers out of a group chat. Your aunt wants a balcony. Your brother wants the cheapest cabin. Four people have not paid. Then you finally arrive and spend the vacation answering questions about the vacation.

That whole job is the thing I take off you.

What I handle

The unglamorous half.
All of it.

One advisor, one source of truth, and zero reasons for you to chase your cousin for a deposit.

Room blocks and cabin holdsSpace secured early, before the dates everyone agreed on disappear.
Deposits and payment schedulesReminders go to each household from me—not from you.
Rooming lists and manifestsNames, passports, birthdates, bedding. Collected once and kept straight.
Different budgets, same tripSeparate billing without anyone comparing receipts.
Flights from multiple citiesArrivals grouped tightly enough to share transfers.
Access and dietary needsCarried to every hotel, ship, restaurant, and tour operator.
Dining, excursions, transfersHeld at the size you actually are, on the days that suit the group.
Someone on call during the tripWhen a flight moves at eleven at night, they call me.

Reasons to go

Get everybody there.
I’ll handle the rest.

Milestone birthdays, reunions, weddings, anniversaries, and the long-overdue trip that finally made it out of the family chat.

Sample multigenerational itinerary

Virgin Voyages:
all the kids are grown.

See how grown children, parents, and grandparents can share one adults-only Caribbean cruise without spending every minute attached at the hip.

5 nightsEveryone is 18+One dinner together nightly

Together on purpose. Separate without guilt.

The sample shows when to gather, when to split by energy level, and how a spa day for the elders can coexist with snorkeling, nightlife, and a private family excursion.

  • Activities for three adult generations
  • Accessible and lower-energy alternatives
  • One private group day ashore
  • A First Mate self-booking option

Who is planning this

Thirty years of things that could not slip.

Army Signal Corps, then three decades running large technology programs with hard dates and more stakeholders than anyone wanted. Budgets, dependencies, contingency plans, and the person everybody calls when something moves.

Twenty-four travelers across seven households is that same work. Better weather.

On the Caribbean specifically, I will tell you when an island is wrong for what you want, which one to pick instead, and which resort is living on its stock photography. You get the real read before you commit the family to it.

Cruise expertise where it matters most

I specialize in matching groups to the right cruise line, with particular depth in Virgin Voyages and Royal Caribbean.

I hold Gold Status as a Certified First Mate with Virgin Voyages and am a Royal Caribbean Certified Travel Advisor. I also hold Commodore status, the highest level of Princess Academy.

Additional destination training includes Disney Destinations and Universal Orlando Resort.
