Travel has always been more than just a hobby for me—it's my true passion. There's nothing I enjoy more than helping others turn their dream vacations into unforgettable memories. Whether you're imagining the romantic streets of Paris, the turquoise waters of the Caribbean in St. Thomas, a culinary journey through Italy, or a breathtaking cruise through the Mediterranean, I’m here to make it happen.
Some of my favorite destinations include the timeless beauty of Europe, the sun-soaked beaches of the Caribbean, and the diverse cultures of Asia and South America. Whether you're in the mood for soft-adventure excursions, cultural explorations, or slow-paced luxury—all options can be customized to your preferences.
When it comes to cruising, I specialize in a wide range of experiences—from fun-filled family getaways to sophisticated voyages. I work with top cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Carnival, Princess, and even magical Disney Cruises. Looking for something on land? I also plan relaxing escapes to all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Aruba, and beyond.
As part of the Cruise Planners family, I have access to exclusive deals, personalized service, and insider knowledge that help elevate your travel experience—without adding any extra cost to you. Whether you're planning a quick weekend escape or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

We had a great experiencing booking our trip with Joanne Lawson. She did a wonderful job setting us up with sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica our stay in Jamaica was absolutely wonderful. We did a tour while we were in Jamaica and we had an excellent time. The property was beautiful and the people also, we cannot wait to return to Jamaica and see more of The island. We will use Joanne Lawson again.- Telma S.
Joann Lawson did an amazing job booking our cruise to include onboard activities for our large group. I have counted on her many times to book our passage and have referred her to many family and friends. It only takes one phone call and she puts it all together. Worry free vacations are what you get when you count on JoAnn. Looking forward to cruising again in a few weeks thanks to JoAnn.- Gregory P.
JoAnn is just the best!- Cami H.
Joanne was amazing. Extremely helpful and very caring.- John M.
The cruise ship staff were absolutely amazing! All of them! The food was not the best. The coffee was amazing! The food just ws not seasoned like it should have been, and it was disappointing
The destinations were great, but it rained so much that the only place with sunshine was Jamaica and Aruba. The food was tailored more to the European taste preferences and the variety was also dissapointing.- Kimberly L.
We had great service. Quick to reply to questions and make sure everything was booked properly.- Judy R.

My spouse and I used Joann and Cruise Planners for our amazing 14 day trip to the Mediterranean! Everything was handled perfectly by Joann from beginning to end.
Booking through Cruise Planners was east and we received extra perks at no extra cost. Excellent!
Joann did an outstanding job in helping to put together our family cruise. Knowledgable, attentive, and professional. We have used her before and will again. Just a darn nice person.- Gary V.
Joann was referred to us by a friend; and she's become a friend of the family. As this was a first cruise in over a decade for me, and my husband's first cruise period, JoAnn did a lot of hand holding with us throughout the whole process.
MSC Magnifica is a beautiful ship, and though I'm sure that Nassau is a beautiful island there was so much to do onboard, we decided to stay on board and enjoy the relative silence.
Ocean Cay was beautiful as well, and nearly desolate, with so much space to spread out and enjoy the sun and the beach.
The staff on board was amazing and one drink steward got to know our routine so well, he was able to anticipate our requests before we even sat down.
The shows in the main theatre were very entertaining, you really wanted to participate in each segment. The lighting, costume and acting were all top notch.- Robert Z.
Great vacation! We loved working with Joann. She made our trip fun with much less stress!- Penny H.
Joann was very helpful in getting our large reunion booked and through the check in process.
Hi JoAnn! Good to hear from you & thank you for checking up on us. We had a wonderful time on our cruise! The only bad & ugly things were a few of our fellow countrymen behaving rudely but there’s usually at least one in any group and certainly not the fault of the cruise line. We’d do it all over again and know who we’ll contact when that time comes. Thank you again for putting it all together for us. Your efforts made a dream come true for my mom and we all loved it. I thank you again a hundred times over!- Susan M.
