Judi Cuervo is a New York City native who fell in love with cruising in 1976 during her first sailing aboard Carnival Cruises’ Mardi Gras. Twenty years later, she began her freelance cruise writing gig and, since that time, has covered mass market, ultra-premium, riverboat and expedition ships for regional, national and international publications as well as cruise websites.
Judi met her husband Michael in 1993 aboard Holland America’s Statendam and they were married four years later in the library of Celebrity’s Galaxy.
In April 2020, Judi retired from her career in book publishing and intends to concentrate on expanding her cruise and travel writing–once this pesky global pandemic allows her to.
