Tom is the Travel Grown Cruise Captain.

CAPTAIN SPEAKING: Looking to book a cruise? I am here to help you through the process of finding the “right fit” for you on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Lines. My name is Tom and after 43 years in the retail business I have retired to a world of golf, granddaughter babysitting and cruising! I currently have Diamond status on Royal and Platinum status of NCL so you can see that I do spend a bit of my spare time cruising!

Meet Tom.

Tom is a Disney Dad and his Disney roots run deep.

He is an experienced traveler who raised his kids on magical vacations. He did such a great job, his daughter, Sam became a Travel Grown Adventure Planner and can help you plan the Disney Parks portion of your vacation!


Bet you have heard that:

  • cruising isn’t for everyone

  • it’s too expensive

  • it’s just for older folks

  • you will get seasick

  • you will get bored

  • and the kids will not find things to do on a cruise ship.

I am here to tell you that none of those things are true. From awesome entertainment to numerous dining options, from family activities to Broadway plays, from numerous on-ship activities to exciting ports of call, cruises have it all! Just unpack and enjoy.

I will guide you through the numerous cruise options available to you. Small intimate ships to ships large enough to be considered a small town at sea, let me help you find the best fit for an amazing cruising vacation!
