About

Hey there! I’m Jim Mercer, and welcome aboard CruiseSnooze — your laid-back guide to smarter sailing.

So, What Is CruiseSnooze?

I’ve been cruising since I was a kid (yep, I was that 11-year-old asking about formal night dress codes), and since then, I’ve been on 19+ cruises across multiple cruise lines, islands, and buffet lines. I’ve slept in inside cabins, danced on deck at midnight parties, and hunted for hidden cruise deals like it’s my full-time job. Because, well… now it sort of is.

CruiseSnooze is all about waking up to better cruise decisions — without the fluff, the overwhelm, or the overpriced excursions.

My motto is simple:

💤 Sleep better. Cruise smarter. Save more.

Whether you’re a first-timer trying to pick the right ship, or a seasoned cruiser looking to stretch your dollars farther, this site is built to help you:

  • 🧭 Find the best cruise deals
  • 🍽️ Know what to expect before you board
  • 🚢 Compare cruise lines & ships with ease
  • 💸 Avoid overpriced gimmicks
  • 💤 And, of course… snooze easy knowing you’re getting real info from someone who’s been there

Why I Built This Site

I got tired of shallow blog posts that barely skim the surface, or big sites that push whatever pays the most. I wanted to build something honest, reader-first, and useful… without sounding like a travel brochure.

CruiseSnooze is growing into a hub for:

  • 🚢 Weekly cruise deals
  • 📬 A free cruise planner
  • 📹 YouTube videos to walk you through it all
  • 💡 Smart guides that give you the real scoop — not recycled clickbait

Come Cruise With Me

This site is just getting started, but it’s growing fast. If you’ve got questions, feedback, or just want to talk about your favorite port of call (mine’s Cozumel 🌴), I’d love to hear from you.
