Juanita started her career in travel as a crewmember aboard Carnival Cruise Line in 1987. Juanita's specialty is group travel, and she escorts groups all over the world, taking them off the beaten track and creating quality, unique experiences. She is a very experienced traveler. Expect to delve into local culture, food, wine, and music.
As a Cruise Planners franchise owner, you can expect excellent service, dedicated attention to your travel needs and quality vacation options. We work with every major cruise line and also offer excellent land-based vacation packages. Juanita specializes in destination weddings and LGBTQ+ travel. If you are planning a wedding and would like to know more about weddings at sea, please call us. This is a great opportunity to show you how a wedding at sea will save you money over a land-based event, and it is also a great way for friends and family to come together to celebrate your special day.
Do you have a milestone celebration? Let me show you how a celebration at sea is the perfect way to gather your friends and family in a festive environment. Our agency will personalize your group with private shore excursions, and exclusive events on board. Our groups earn "Tour Conductor Credits" which can be shared by the group or be used for a host cabin.
We are a full-service travel agency and much more than just cruises!
Aside from groups, Juanita plans personal vacations, corporate travel and fund raising for local non-profit charities. Call our agency to inquire how we can help you raise money for your organization.

My husband and I have taken three vacations through Juanita Martindale and her company and already have our fourth booked for next year. If you are looking for a travel agent extraordinaire, look no further. Juanita is the real deal. She treats her clients like family and goes every extra mile to provide as much detail and personalization as possible, clear and consistent communication, total organization, and the kind of information and insight gained from years of being a travel enthusiast. She gives great advice about how to maximize the travel experience, what to do, what to avoid, and always finds the most interesting tours that are above and beyond the usual tourist mainstays. Juanita is always responsive, always available to answer questions and help, and puts her heart and soul into her work. Most importantly, she creates an atmosphere of total inclusion on her group tours in which everyone feels welcome and connected. The results are vacations in which you really experience the places you visit, make new friends, and create memories for a lifetime. We are already excited for our next trip and can't wait to see what tours and tips Juanita will provide to make the vacation extra special. We know it will be another amazing journey.- Michael D.
