👋 Hi, I'm Chris! On our kids' first cruise

We knew nothing about cruising when we boarded our honeymoon cruise in 2011. That trip sparked an obsession we never saw coming. Fifteen cruises, sixteen ports, and five cruises with our kids later, we know this world inside and out.

I started Deckers on Deck so every family can make amazing memories like we have. I'll find the right fit and handle every detail so you arrive ready to enjoy every moment.

How I Make Cruise Planning Easy

1
Tell me about your cruise goals

Where you want to go, your kids' ages, travel style. No prep needed.

2
I find the right cruise for you

I dig through ships and itineraries so you don't have to.

3
You say go, I take care of everything

From booking to boarding, you just show up.

Expert guidance. Zero cost.

🚢
The right ship for your kids

Kids clubs, water slides and pool setups vary enormously between ships, and even within the same cruise line. I know which ships are built for families.

🛏️
A cabin that works for your family

Split bathrooms, avoiding cabins under the pool deck, proximity to the kids club — these details matter more than most people realise. Most first-timers don't know to ask about any of this.

🧳
I set you up before you even board

You get my family cruise packing list, first day tips, and the little things most first-timers wish someone had told them.

Why trust me with your trip?

I'm not a travel agent who read a brochure. I'm a parent who has been on 15 cruises, visited 16 ports across the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico and beyond, and made every mistake so you don't have to.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I've cruised with my own kids since they were 5 and 7. I know what a meltdown at the buffet feels like and how to avoid it.

📍

I've been to the ports, sailed the ships, and eaten the food. This is lived experience, not guesswork.

🤝

I stay in touch after you book. If something changes, a shore excursion sells out, or you have questions before you board, I'm still here.
