Christopher E. Smith is a man who has paid both his dues and his passage tickets and knows travel inside out. Adaptable as a chameleon he enjoys cruising from the party cruise to the ultra luxe...AND...chameleon that he is, fits in everywhere!!

He was only five when he took his first sailing, a five night jaunt aboard that popular old favorite, the American flag liner MATSONIA. He rode her from the port of Los Angeles to Honolulu beginning a pattern of sailing the Pacific he still enjoys.

Ten years later he started working at a travel agency near his home in Southern California and in the years since he came to own (and SELL!) his own travel agency and has sailed the seas and oceans in over 50 passenger and cruise ships. That translates into well over 200 sailings so you must understand that when Smith tells you about a ship or a cruise...you're getting the straighth scoop from a man who really knows his stuff. Like every experienced cruiser Chris has a list of his favorite ships but manages to retain a very objective eye in every case...so each ship and voyage brings to him as much excitement as that trip in the old MATSONIA did some thirty five years ago!
