Gloria- Owner/Agent...Group Events at Sea Specialist
Groups are my forte’! I always get excited helping people plan awesome group cruise events because I so enjoy this way of travel. I have a passion for tropical destinations, and I take every specialist training available to keep me informed about my favorite places like Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaiian Islands, and South Pacific. I dreamed of travel all my life, and after living in France as a Cultural Exchange student at age 16, I was hooked. Being an International Flight Attendant allowed me to continue my travels around the world. During my lifetime, my travels spanned 6 Continents and 57 countries. In previous careers with Recreation Management and Professional Counseling and Social Work, I enjoyed working with groups in every capacity. An extensive travel history, coupled with my group experience, instilled in me the skills needed to assist you with an awesome group event at sea. If you have a group of any size, and you’re looking for an exciting place to hold your next conference, seminar, reunion, wedding, anniversary, or theme party, I can show you how to spend your next event on a fun filled cruise ship while sailing to exotic ports-of-call.

Why am I qualified?
First and foremost, I love cruising, the sea, and sand between my toes! I graduated from Sharon Emerson’s Certified Travel School in 2012, received my Accredited Cruise Counselor designation in 2014, and I’ve planned group events to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Mexico on Carnival, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. I am completing specialist trainings for many other major cruise lines. With my Hotel Sales Specialist Certification for Marriott, it’s a breeze planning pre and post hotel arrangements for my groups. I belong to cruise line and travel agent organizations, and I’ve established working relationships with many sales representatives for cruises, resorts, hotels, land travel, touring, shore excursions, and travel insurance. The most rewarding part of travel planning is when my clients keep coming back, and refer their friends and family too. Sea n Sand Vacations is a full service travel agency, and I will happily assist you with the vacation of your dreams whether it is by land or by sea.
