My Story
I fell in love with cruising and never looked back
It started with one family cruise that changed everything. The excitement of waking up in a new port, watching my kids discover the world, sharing sunset dinners at sea. I was hooked.
Friends started asking me to plan their trips. Then friends of friends. Before I knew it, I'd turned my obsession into a career. Now I get to help families like yours experience that same magic.
And here's the best part: my service costs you absolutely nothing. Cruise lines compensate me directly, so you get expert planning, exclusive upgrades, and a personal advocate, all for free.

"We booked a last minute cruise to the Mexican Riviera with Marissa Wright and it was amazing. She took care of everything. Gave me all the information I needed. Answered me at all hours. Made sure we were taken care of before, during, and after. It was all stress free. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future."

"Marissa Wright was instrumental in helping plan one of the most memorable vacations our family has ever had. It was a stress free experience as she assisted with everything from making reservations to capturing discounts. She is responsive, personable and hard working. This will be the first of many ventures we have through her and Best Day!"

Family vacation
"We just got back from our vacation that we booked with Marissa Wright! She went above and beyond to find us the most affordable and fun cruise that would fit our family of 9! Since this was our first time on a cruise, Marissa was super helpful in answering my MANY questions and letting us know exactly what to expect. We had an absolute blast."
Jeanice F.
First cruise, family of 9
"Marissa Wright did a fantastic job helping us with the coordination of our vacation on board Celebrity Beyond. She made the booking super smooth, enabling us to make the right decisions for our vacation style. All that putting aside the excellent price that she was able to get for us. It will be a no-brainer to contact Marissa for our next vacation trip."
Juan C.
Celebrity Beyond
"Our travel agent, Marissa Wright was incredible from beginning to end. I reached out just weeks before our expected travel date for a large group and she was incredibly responsive and immensely helpful. She kept in touch even after we booked, sharing helpful tips and answering the most random questions and final hour requests from our group. I am so grateful to have found her to make our complex trip seamless."
Sherry D.
Large group, short timeline

Her patience, attention to detail, and knowledge made this trip so smooth and stress free. I couldn't say enough kind words about her. Marissa is the best."

Why travelers book cruises with Marissa
I've sailed dozens of ships across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Alaska, so when I recommend a cruise, it's because I've experienced it firsthand. Whether you're weighing Royal Caribbean vs Carnival or aren't sure where to start, I'll give you honest, experience-based advice.
As your personal cruise advisor and Royal Caribbean travel agent, I handle everything, including finding the right ship and cabin, securing the best available pricing, booking shore excursions, and being your advocate if anything goes sideways. My service is completely free. I'm paid by the cruise lines, never by you.
I chose to partner with Best Day Ever Vacations because they share my approach of putting people first, focusing on real experiences, and making travel as smooth and stress-free as possible. It gives me access to great tools, exclusive perks, and a strong support system so I can focus entirely on taking care of you.
Whether it's your first cruise or your fifteenth, I'll match you with the perfect voyage based on your budget, travel style, and who's coming along. No call centers, no pushy upsells, just honest, personalized advice from someone who genuinely loves helping people discover the joy of cruising.
