I'm a Certified Travel Associate (CTA), having earned my designation from the Travel Institute, the oldest and most respected non-profit certification organization in the travel industry.  These credentials require that I have at least 18 months of travel industry work experience, completed rigorous certification and testing, and continue to fulfil stringent education credit requirements each year.  Much like and accountant or doctor with their respective credentials, my CTA designation means that I am committed to upholding the highest standards of my profession while providing expert advice to my customers.  

I specialize in group and individual travel to Jamaica and my passion is spending time at sea aboard some of the best cruise line agencies in the industry.  I have been an elite cruise counselor through CLIA, the nation’s leading cruise accreditation agency since 2018.  I also just finished my Commodore training through Princess Cruise Line and also completed their 4 courses to become a certified Alaskan expert.  

I personally have been to Jamaica and visited 20 properties and been on several different cruise ships.  I recently just returned from a group travel aboard Carnival Sensation.  I hosted a group of work ladies from Chicago that were wanting to Get-A-Way, they loved the personal service that I gave to their group that they’ve decided to book year after year with me.  In October of 2015 we went to Jamaica and stayed at the Oasis at Sunset property in Montego Bay.  I have become one of their family members that plans all of their group vacations.

My goal is to find you the right vacation that fits your budget and will make all your dreams come true and create unforgettable memories for you and your family.  I do this by never charging a fee and I promise to give you top notch customer service that is honest and personal.  I also make personal relationships to various properties that I’ve visited over the years and they will give you the same great personal service that I give you while you are in destination.

Here's what some of our past guests had to say:

"Eric and his team were excellent in planning our girls getaway.  We are already planning our 2nd trip.  He was always available to answer ANY questions the group had.  I'll Def be using him again." ~ Dena O.

"Eric, we thank you so much. I have to say that you are an awesome travel agent. There was no way at all that I would have ever believed that we were your first group if you hadn't told me. You are very prompt, knowledgeable, and you display excellent customer service and work ethics. I feel like I have known the McBean family for decades. You guys are so welcoming and we luv u all. I would also like to thank Krysta A. for the referral :) From now on, we are all on TEAM MCBEAN!!!
