I began my love of travel at the age of 21 when I joined TWA as an agent working at the ticket counter and eventually working my way up to Agent-in-Charge of the weight and balance dept. The flight benefits were incredible and I took full advantage of them, traveling to places all over the world!
After 9/11, TWA unfortunately went out of business and after a short stint with American Airlines, I eventually retired from the airline business, but never lost my love of travel. Years later, I received a call from an old friend from TWA who had opened her own travel agency franchise and was looking to expand. I jumped at the opportunity to once again travel the world and this time to share my experience and expertise with friends, family, and acquaintances.
Since signing on with American Express’ Cruise Planners, I have earned a number of certifications including:
• NACTA – National Association of Career Travel Agents
• CLIA – Cruise Lines International Association
• Certified Sandals Specialist
• Certified Melia Specialist
• Aruba Certified Expert
• Certified Florida Specialist
• Marriot Specialist
In spite of the name of the agency (Cruise Planners), we handle ALL aspects of ANY type of travel from cruises to air travel to hotels and resorts to rental cars (basically anything on land, air, or sea). While starting off booking trips for just family and friends, business has expanded by word of mouth and referrals so that most of my clients now were unknown to me when I began.

Debbie did a great job planning our trip! She was so helpful when we were considering different itineraries and costs. Debbie also proactively informed us about additional fees we would incur while on the trip (daily hotel fees, parking, gas, etc) and had tips for going to the ABC store. She was always very quick and responsive whenever we had a question or request- for example we wanted to add TSA to our flights once our trip started, and she was quick to make the update. Debbie also ensured our hotels recognized that we were on our honeymoon- they put champagne in our room, which was lovely! She also recommended an excellent photography company for us to take photos on the beach in Maui. My one piece of feedback would that it would have been super helpful to get more advice regarding honeymooning near/over a holiday (Thanksgiving). As honeymooners, there were lots of families in our resorts for the first part of our trip and the more luxury resort prices in Maui were extremely high. Have we had known this in more detail, we would have considered traveling at another time or evaluated expanding our budget to have a bit more of a romantic vibe during certain parts of our trip. Overall our honeymoon was INCREDIBLE and the perfect balance of activity, exploring and relaxing. Debbie made the process so simple and easy over the months we were planning- thanks again!!!
Debbie is always spot on. She always has answers and recommendations for all your travel needs. If she doesn’t immediately know the answer to your questions, she will happily find it!
Debbie at Cruise Planners couldn't have made our family vacation to Los Cabos, Mexico run any smoother from start to end, Not only did she give us the best price, but any problem that came up, she was on top of it. She was even available during the vacation to add an extra excursion!!! The Hyatt Ziva was also top notch, from the food, the service and cleanliness. We would definitely return and be reusing Debbie again for our next adventure.- Janine O.
