Meet Lawrence
Hi, I’m Lawrence — and I’d love to plan your next adventure
I started CruiseTastic Travel for one simple reason: I genuinely love helping people turn a “someday” trip into a real, booked, count-down-the-days vacation. There’s nothing like the moment a family realizes their dream cruise is actually happening — and getting them there is the best part of my day.
When you work with me, you get a real person from the first idea to the day you get home — not a call center or a booking engine. I’ll listen to what matters most to you, handle the research, pricing and paperwork, and make sure every detail is taken care of. All at no added planning cost to you.

Destinations I’ve explored
Real trips. Real places. Real advice.
A few of my favorite destinations, captured on the water and in the parks — so you can see the kind of experiences I love helping families plan.
Unless otherwise noted, the cruise and destination photos throughout this website were personally taken during my travels.
Caribbean
Warm water & wild moments
Turquoise seas, island ports, and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters — the Caribbean is where adventure meets pure joy.
With a powerful push from beneath each foot, my two dolphin partners launched me across the water in one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.
Every successful dolphin push depends on trust and teamwork between you and your two dolphin partners. It's an incredible feeling when everything comes together.
Each push built on the last — more speed, more trust, and more pure joy as the dolphins carried me across the water.
The perfect ending to an unforgettable adventure—and a memory I'll treasure forever.
Mexican Riviera
Sun, sea & Cabo adventures
Dramatic rock formations, bright blue water, and unforgettable shore days along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Disney destinations
My Family's Disney Vacation Photos
Real moments from our family trips to Disney World and Disneyland — character meets, park days, Halloween Time magic, and the smiles that only happen when generations travel together.
A daughter meeting Minnie at Disneyland, then returning years later with her own daughter. That's exactly the kind of story families connect with.
Nicknamed “Shark Bait,” I’ve had the unforgettable experience of diving inside EPCOT’s 6-million-gallon Living Seas aquarium, surrounded by sharks, rays, and tropical fish.
From the ocean floor, I had a diver’s-eye view of several sharks cruising gracefully through their underwater world.
Coming face-to-face with a Sand Tiger Shark is an experience I'll never forget—and one of the many adventures that deepened my love for the ocean.
Watching this incredible shark glide silently through the aquarium was an unforgettable moment.
A graceful stingray soaring overhead made it feel like I was flying underwater with it.
Alaska
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel
One of my favorite cruise destinations — luxury accommodations, breathtaking scenery, amazing wildlife, and unforgettable experiences that last a lifetime.
One of my favorite cruise destinations is Alaska. I sailed aboard the Norwegian Jewel in a beautiful one-bedroom suite with a spacious living area and a luxurious walk-in shower bathroom.
One of the highlights was the incredible forward-facing balcony. It was huge! Lounge chairs, comfortable seating, and panoramic views that stretched for miles. Each morning brought something new — spectacular sunrises painting the sky with brilliant shades of pink and orange, snow-capped volcanoes rising above the horizon, and rugged mountain ranges that seemed to stretch forever.
One of our most memorable shore excursions was in Sitka, where we visited the Fortress of the Bear. Watching these rescued brown bears in a peaceful natural setting was both inspiring and unforgettable.
Alaska remains one of my favorite cruise destinations — combining luxury accommodations, breathtaking scenery, amazing wildlife, and unforgettable experiences that last a lifetime.
The adventure begins the moment you see her hull — Alaska, here we come.
From the moment we opened the door, we knew this cruise was going to be something special — spacious living area, room to relax, and the start of an unforgettable Alaska adventure.
A comfortable living area and bedroom with plenty of room to unwind after each day’s adventure.
The suite bathroom featured a luxurious walk-in shower — the perfect way to refresh after a day of exploring Alaska.
Getting ready was easy with the spacious vanity and dressing area, complete with a large mirror, generous counter space, and plenty of storage for everything we brought on our Alaska adventure.
This wasn't your typical balcony door—it was a heavy watertight steel door that took some effort to open. Stepping through it led to our massive forward-facing balcony and some of the most spectacular views of the Alaska coastline.
One of the highlights was the incredible forward-facing balcony. It was huge! Lounge chairs, comfortable seating, and panoramic views that stretched for miles.
Each morning brought something new — spectacular sunrises painting the sky with brilliant shades of pink and orange.
Soft shades of pink and orange lit up the waterfront as Alaska welcomed a new day. It was one of those quiet moments that reminded us just how beautiful this journey truly was.
We admired snow-capped volcanoes rising above the horizon and sailed past rugged mountain ranges that seemed to stretch forever.
Quiet water and floating ice — small reminders that you are sailing through one of the wildest, most beautiful places on earth.
Alaska never stops surprising you — even the sky puts on a show.
Riding the historic White Pass train through the mountains — pure Alaska magic.
From the bow of the Norwegian Jewel, every day began with breathtaking views of Sitka's snow-capped mountains, sparkling waters, and endless Alaskan horizon. It was the perfect welcome to another unforgettable adventure.
One of our favorite Alaska experiences was watching these rescued brown bears in a peaceful natural setting. It was both inspiring and unforgettable.
Several rescued brown bears called this peaceful sanctuary home, giving us an unforgettable close-up look at these incredible animals.
White heads against a gray sky — Alaska wildlife at its finest.
Alaska memories together — and a few laughs along the way.
