Jessica Kinkead has been an advisor for 6 years, specializing in Royal Caribbean cruises and family travel.

Kinkead says, “As an ambassador for the Family Travel Association, I stay at the forefront of trends and best practices in creating meaningful, well-planned travel experiences for families.”
What inspired you to become a travel advisor?
I wanted to help other families by making travelling with kids easier. My goal is to make family travel not only easy, but truly unforgettable!
What is your most popular travel destination among clients?
The Caribbean islands.
What’s your most valuable family travel tip?
Just knowing which suppliers, cruise lines, hotel brands, etc. cater to families is important. Working with companies that know the ins and outs of travelling with kids makes the job so much easier!
What is one tech tool you consistently use when planning family travel?
My google forms! Having everyone's info, trip wishes, budget, room requests & other important info in one place is super handy.
