Hi, I'm John
After years in IT of being always on call and never really unplugged, I took my first cruise through the Caribbean and realized how good it felt to be completely present, not thinking about work at all. That trip showed me people need more than a quick getaway; they need a real reset. So I left IT and started Tropical Getaways to help others experience that same feeling.
Now I design stress‑free cruise and all‑inclusive resort vacations, taking the research and logistics off your plate so your only job is to enjoy the trip.
Who I’m a great fit forou’re a couple, family, or small group ready to invest at least $3,500 in a well‑planned vacation. You’re busy, overwhelmed by options, and would rather have one expert narrow it down than spend hours comparing ships, resorts, and reviews. You appreciate straightforward advice and don’t need hand‑holding every minute, just a trusted pro guiding the big decisions.
Who I’m not the right fit forIf you’re only chasing the absolute rock‑bottom price, want to strip everything down to shared transfers and the cheapest rooms, or you’re mainly shopping agents to see who can beat an online deal by a few dollars, I’m probably not your person. I focus on 7‑night cruises and 5‑plus‑night all‑inclusive stays that balance value, comfort, and a low‑stress planning experience

What My Clients Say
Here’s what real travelers have to say about planning their cruises and all‑inclusive vacations with me.
We have booked two cruises with John now. Both experiences were great. He provides lots of helpful information and we have had no problems whatsoever. Definitely recommend his services!
Laura H.
We were seeking an all-inclusive vacation for my wife, our three daughters (ages 21, 18, and 11), and myself. It was essential to find a destination that offered something for everyone to enjoy. After sharing our requirements with John, he took the time to truly listen—and he absolutely delivered! This was our daughters’ first trip abroad, so we wanted everything to go as seamlessly as possible. From the flights to the ground transportation and the incredible resort, every detail was flawlessly executed. If you’re in search of a five-star travel agent, look no further than John. He’s simply the best!
Eddie K.
John was so helpful in booking our large group on a cruise and making sure we had rooms nearby with all amenities we needed. He was also super helpful in answering all of our first-time cruiser questions and helping us make decisions that worked for our group. We had a great vacation thanks to his help in planning ahead!
Kathryn J.
We received the most professional presentation of options before booking, and we scheduled with ease. We had a few travel glitches along the way, and our agent John assisted us more than we could have imagined. We will definitely be using him again!
