With 13 years as a Travel Specialist, my love for traveling has just grown in leaps and bounds. When I started 13 years ago, I had been on approx. 5 - 8 cruises. I now have approx 35 cruises under my belt. I LOVE CRUISING!!! Between my 35 years in education and 13 in travel, I love teaching, showing and assisting people with their vacations. Although cruising is my main love, I also enjoy working with escorted tours and all-inclusive resorts. I love traveling. Any way that I can help you do and feel the same, will be a pleasure for me.
I worked in the Public School District for 35 years from Teacher to Intern Principal. My love for teaching has been enhanced by my 13 years as a travel specialist as I reach out, educate, review and experience with my clients their dream destinations. I have cruised Western and Northern Europe, Russia, Central America, the Western, Eastern and Southern Caribbean, and finally throughout the U.S. including Hawai'i and Alaska. I want to make sure that every trip my clients take are as fantastic as all the ones I have taken.
Why take a vacation if you're not going to enjoy it? Planning for a trip is part of the fun and mystic. Why not do it with someone who has experienced the trip and enjoys the planning as well?? ME!!!
Here's what they say....
All Aboard!!
David helped book our River Cruise & left no stone unturned. He is open, honest & gave us great advice based on his expertise as a traveler as well as a travel agent. We're looking forward to our next cruise that he has already planned for us! C.F.
I’m supposed to be retired! But I have volunteer over-load. Needed to get away & decided on going on a cruise. Any questions I had, called David & they were answered. Easiest trip I ever planned! Why would anyone try to plan a cruise on their own when he's there to handle it! R.D
What a wonderful experience fr. beginning to end! This was a family cruise to celebrate my mom's 78th birthday, my sisters & I had a great time. Mom has not stopped talking about the wonderful time we had. - L.L.

My Travel Stories
Virgin Voyages
Wow. Took a five night cruise on Virgin Voyages, Scarlet Lady. Had a great time. From the minute we got on to the time we got off. Public space had plenty of space for you. A quick show could pop up at any time to entertain guests. Dining was an experience and delicious. ... Read more from my Virgin Voyages story.
Alaskan Experience
We met David in Ft. Lauderdale over 3 years ago at "Ft Lauderdale Jazz Brunch. We talked for a bit and took his card. I was so impressed with how friendly and outgoing he was that I knew when it came down to booking our cruise it would be with him. Well, I have to tell you he is the best. We booked with him and went to Alaska. He was great throughout the entire process. I am in the process of booking with him again. Thank you, David
First of many more cruises
This was the 1st cruise my sister and I have taken since the covid started. David did a great job of setting up this cruise for us. He was there every step of the way up to sailing day. He immediately checked on us after the cruise to make sure everything went ok. I will most definitely go thru David for all future cruises.
Planning made easy
Our Vacation Specialist David Gonzalez, has been an awesome booking agent for the past three years. We have booked cruises with Dream Vacations for the past six years using two different agents, both of them are awesome. David has been professional, nice, personable and patient. He always provide a first class experience when it comes to traveling. He is very good at his job, which translates to being very knowledgeable and make sure we get what we want. I've recommended him to friends and family who have booked their cruises with him and they are very happy. I highly recommend David Gonzalez and Dream Vacations if you want to plan a cruise with ease.
Ready and reliable....
Met David from Dream Vacations at Sunday Jazz in FLL. Once we decided on our cruise, he was my first call. The entire time, David was first class. He was attentive and knowledgeable on the entire cruise and answered all my calls right away. He was professional and just what you need when you are unsure and on the fence about cruising. Follow through, detailed oriented and first class. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go on our next vacation. I will definitely call him and Dream Vacations!
