Cruising is our focus. Here's a quick look at the three cruise lines we plan most, and we're happy to help you compare them.

  • Rotational dining
  • Shows & deck parties

Royal Caribbean is known for large, activity-packed ships. Depending on the ship, you might find water slides, surf simulators, rock-climbing walls, mini golf, Broadway-style productions and a wide range of dining, from casual bites to specialty restaurants.

  • Onboard thrills
  • Entertainment
  • Dining variety
  • Private island stop

Theme parks

Disney magic on land

Plan a Disneyland getaway on its own, or add a few park days before or after a West Coast cruise.

The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, is home to two theme parks, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, along with the Downtown Disney District and three Disney-owned hotels.

  • Two parks, side by side
  • Disney hotels

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost extra to plan with you?

Ask us about any fees up front. We'll always be clear about what you're paying for before you book.

Is there a membership fee to join the club?

No. "Club" is just part of our name, a playful nod to a favorite song. There's no membership fee to work with us, and anyone can request a quote. [PLACEHOLDER: Julio to confirm]

I've never been on a cruise. Can you help?

Absolutely. First-time cruisers are some of our favorite people to plan for. We'll explain how cruising works, help you choose a cruise line, ship and stateroom that fit your group, and walk you through what to expect from booking to boarding day.

What information do you need for a quote?

The basics: roughly when you'd like to travel, how flexible your dates are, how many adults and children are going (with kids' ages), your preferred departure port and a comfortable budget range. The quote form covers all of it.

Which departure ports can I sail from?

It depends on the cruise line and itinerary. Southern California travelers often look at West Coast ports for Mexico and Pacific sailings, while many Caribbean and Bahamas cruises depart from Florida. We can compare options, including whether flying to another port makes sense.
