WELCOME!

My name is Bridget! Welcome to The Cruise Reel—my corner of the internet dedicated to sharing my favorite way to travel: cruising! Here, you’ll find insider reviews of different ships, practical hacks, packing essentials, and a real look at what life is like out on the water and sometimes in real time!

My Cruise Experience

I have been on 11 cruises since June 2024 and as of October 1, 2026, I have six more cruises booked through the end of January. There is a lot of tenure in the land of “cruise social media” and I am still relatively new to cruising compared to so many of the amazing people I have been following.

How did I get here?

After spending decades buried in corporate spreadsheets, I decided to take the next six months off work and focus on my favorite travel: cruising. I am enjoying getting back to my marketing roots and learning this new world of content creation!

Join Me!

Fair warning: this is a pretty simple site for now! Consider this your official invitation to hang out with me as I figure out how to build a website and learn a whole new set of skills from scratch.

I’m so glad you’re here!
