Primary Specialties
Two flagship specialties, each requiring dedicated certification and ongoing training — so you get true expertise, not just a booking service.
Where the Disney magic your kids love on land meets the open sea — characters, Broadway shows, Castaway Cay, and memories that last forever.
The world's most innovative ships — surf simulators, go-karts, skydiving, and Perfect Day at CocoCay. Go big or go home doesn't mean the same thing anymore.
Also Certified In
Whatever calls to you — luxury, exploration, freestyle freedom, adults-only adventure, or classic elegance — I have the specialized certification and insider knowledge to plan it to perfection.
Modern luxury reimagined — sophisticated ships, world-class cuisine, and an elevated experience for the discerning traveler.
The explorer's cruise line — river and ocean voyages that go deeper, stay longer, and deliver true cultural immersion.
Come Back New™ — the OceanMedallion® smart ship experience, breathtaking itineraries, and intimate elegance at every turn.
Savor the journey — classic cruising tradition meets contemporary comfort across the world's most scenic waterways.
Freestyle Cruising® — the freedom to dine when, where, and with whom you want, with an energy and variety that sets NCL apart from every other line.
Adults-only. All-inclusive. Anything but ordinary. Virgin Voyages throws out the cruise rulebook and writes something far more exciting.
Why Work With Me
Most families don't realize — booking through me costs exactly the same as booking directly. The difference is everything that comes after.
Disney, Royal Caribbean, and every other cruise line I work with pay my commission directly when your trip is booked. You pay the exact same price as booking yourself — but with a dedicated expert in your corner the entire time.
I know the best staterooms on every ship class, which dining reservations sell out in minutes, how to layer promotions for maximum value, and the exact timing windows that separate a good booking from a great one.
When promotions come out after your booking — and they do — I reach out immediately to reprice or apply new offers. Clients regularly save hundreds they would have missed booking alone.
I specialize in family travel. That means thinking about connecting staterooms, kids' club registration, dining for picky eaters, port day logistics, and every detail a parent actually worries about.
If anything changes — weather, schedule disruption, an unexpected issue — you have a direct line to me personally. Not an 800 number. Not a hold queue. One call, one real answer.
Planning any cruise means navigating hundreds of sailings, stateroom categories, dining options, shore excursions, and add-ons. I cut through all of it and present only what's right for your family.
About Your Specialist
Hi, I'm William
I became a cruise and Disney specialist because every family deserves a magical vacation — and an expert in their corner who makes it happen effortlessly.
Travel by William is a Cary, NC-based travel agency specializing in Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and five other world-class cruise lines. I hold certifications across all seven — which means real training, insider tools, and dedicated resources that a general booking website simply doesn't have.
My planning service is completely free to every client. The cruise lines pay my commission directly when your trip is booked. You get a dedicated specialist who knows your family, monitors your pricing, and handles every detail — at zero cost.
Client Reviews
"William saved us so much stress. He handled every single detail of our Disney Cruise — dining, activities, the works. Our kids had the best week of their lives and we didn't figure out a thing."
"I didn't even know I could use a travel agent for free! William got us a better price than the RC website AND sent us a bottle of champagne as a surprise. Incredible, personal service."
"First-time Disney Cruise and we were overwhelmed. William walked us through everything, answered every question, and made it all feel effortless. We're already planning our next one!"
"William alerted us to a price drop on our booking and saved us $400. I would never have known that was possible. That's the entire reason to use a real specialist — he works for you."
"My daughter is obsessed with Disney and William planned the most perfect cruise for her birthday. Character dinners, the deck party, Castaway Cay — he knew exactly what would make it magical."
"Family of 6 and coordinating everything seemed impossible. William handled it seamlessly — connecting staterooms, group dining, kids' activities. Best vacation we've ever taken, full stop."
