Cruise and Caribbean Specialist
liliuokalani Gardens, Hilo, Hawaii
I started planning my family's vacations when I was 14! I planned the route and made the hotel or campground reservations. I have never lost my love for planning vacations, doing so for my friends and family for many years. Now I get to plan vacation for my clients. I put as much care into the planning of their vacations as I do for my own family.
I specialize in cruises because this is my family's favorite vacation and it allows us to visit many places while unpacking once! We have cruised with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, Virgin Voyages and Disney Cruise Line. Our cruises have taken us to Europe, the Caribbean, Canada and Alaska and Hawaii.
I also love learning about other vacation destinations. Being associated with Key to the World Travel®, a full service agency, allows me to plan trips to various destinations around the world, including Europe, all inclusive destinations and Hawaii.
I am a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge, and the Universal Travel Agent Program. I have earned the Norwegian Cruise Lines Master's Degree, the Royal Caribbean University Bachelor's Degree and the Princess Cruise Line Commodore Officer Rank.

Virgin Voyages & American Cruise Line!
Reviewed By Shannon R. - Winnsboro, SC | Traveled to Costa Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
25th Anniversary cruise with Virgin VoyagesWe like to try new experiences and destinations so Marianela suggested we try Virgin Voyages, the over 18 cruise line with premium food and gratuities already included. Her personal experience with Virgin helped us navigate the app, dining, shows and excursions not to miss. Her knowledge was key. The trip was one of our favorite cruises ever! Later in the year, she also helped us book a Mississippi River cruise on American Cruise Line, American Queen paddlewheel boat, which was great! ACL includes all basic alcohol and 1 free excursion per stop. Under 18 is allowed, but very few were on the boat. This trip caters to the 60+ crowd for entertainment, so nostalgia is a theme. The small boat allows you time to interact with so many people and just relax. Definitely a trip worth taking!
