Meeting literally tens of thousands of guests during my 30+ years working onboard more than 50 different cruise ships, the idea of The Cruise Mate Community slowly formed in my head. I worked for years in several roles, primarily managing Future Cruise Sales & Loyalty departments, but also in other key public roles - so I fielded countless questions and inquiries, and had innumerable valuable interactions with people from all over the globe.
One of the most commonly asked questions, was "where, and how, can I meet cruise enthusiasts who are looking for a cruise friend, partner or mate?"
So many guests, and so many cruise enthusiasts were looking for a safe way to connect with like-minded, and that is the reason and the mission that led me to launch "The Cruise Mate"!
