Wherever you want to go, we can get you there!

We (Chuck & Ali) have been cruising for many years and love to talk about travel. We have logged 30 plus cruises in the Caribbean and Alaska. We've visited ports from Anchorage to St. Martin to Cozumel, and hope to add lots more soon! You might find us swimming with the Sting Rays, tubing a river in Belize, or watching the modern marvel of the Panama Canal float by. Ask us sometime about our favorite port, but only if you have time because remember - we love to talk about travel! After all that ship time, now we can funnel our experiences and knowledge into our business to help share our love for cruising with you.

I am an Army Officer veteran of the TX National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserves (both active duty and reserve time). After my active time ended in January 1987, I joined the Dallas Police Department and retired in 2017 after spending 30 years serving the citizens of Dallas. Ali and I have loved traveling for many years, but in 2002 we decided to take a cruise for our 10th anniversary. We thought that it would be a once in a lifetime experience, but then we were hooked. When we both fully retired, we decided to share our love for travel (especially cruising) with others and became travel agents. God has blessed us with a wonderful marriage and lifestyle. On our travels, I always wonder at His beauty and have many pictures to display His majesty.

After retiring from the corporate world, as Treasury Manager for one of the largest multi-family housing companies in the US, I decided it was time to turn my enthusiasm for cruising into a business. Not a day goes by that I don't dream of floating away on a ship, watching the waves go by and discovering new adventures in lands far away. I have two favorite parts of cruising. One is meeting new people. We've made friends from all over the world. I truly enjoy the chance to talk with someone about their homeland, and find what they think makes it special. Of course, I also love to "share" Texas and the US with people too! By far, my favorite part of traveling the world is seeing all of God's splendor spread out before me. The vastness of the oceans, the beauty of the island flowers, or the majesty of the mountains are all just reminders of God's presence! As a born again Christian, this just makes me feel closer to God for that moment in time! I look forward to hearing what makes travel so special for you, and working to make your vacation dreams come true.

Bienvenidos, Shalom, Hello! One thing I have realized in my travels is that one universal world connects us all. My first cruise was in 2011 and travel very quickly became my passion. I have logged 11 cruises to the western, eastern, and southern Caribbean including Aruba, Baja California, Bermuda and I absolutely love to share my experiences with others. I have never sailed the same ship twice, as I have a desire to explore a different experience with each sailing. I also have visited the wonderful World of Disney, sunny Key West, rugged Colorado, the desert of Las Vegas, the breezy coast of Southern California, and the western portion of majestic Canada. Most recently I have explored the historical Holy Land visiting Bethlehem and Jerusalem. The decision to become a travel advisor was one that was very easy. I get to share my experiences with others and help them engage in traveling to the places in which I so dearly love. My motto is that God made this beautiful world for us to see and to relish in His creation.I have been married to my long-time high school love, Michael for 11 years and we have 2 sons, Cole, 23 and Elijah, 9. We also have a passion for our church activities including serving in Awanas and leading worship. When we aren’t traveling, we are bowling and compete in tournaments all over the United States. I have been in the apartment management industry for 18 years, currently holding the position of Community Manager while working for the best and largest property management company in the world, Greystar. When I am not serving my residents, I am venturing into the world of travel planning. I am proud to join Cruise Planners as an Associate of Chuck & Ali Schmidt. Cruise Planners is known for quality offerings, great service, and very competitive pricing for all of your travel desires. As a Cruise Planners Travel Advisor, I will help you discover exciting places to explore, including cruises, land tours and completely packaged vacations. I specialize in Caribbean adventures; however, I can find you great deals on all types of travel. I look forward to creating an unforgettable vacation just for you!
