Pam and Lori met in 1992 where they worked as branch managers at Hess's Travel Centers/American Express in Allentown, PA. During their tenure there, both quickly fell in love with the cruise industry, each one ultimately charting a course spanning decades working for the biggest names in the business.
In 1996 Lori and Pam were fortunate enough to be recruited by Disney to launch the brand-new Disney Cruise Line, as part of their dedicated sales team. As Sales Managers promoting this highly anticipated new comer to the industry, they saw first-hand how a powerful brand can bring cruising to an entirely new audience.
Their experience at Disney led them to sail on and join the industry's largest brand, Carnival Cruise Lines, where they managed two of the highest producing territories in the country. Partnering with travel agents to increase Carnival's market share, both earned multiple awards as top achievers and were among the 'go-to' managers to mentor those new to the sales force.
Their paths briefly split where Pam left to help launch an online cruise agency, and Lori to transition into the MICE division at Carnival, where she was later recruited to lead the MICE team at Royal Caribbean.
In 2009, Pam rejoined Lori at Royal Caribbean to support her growing team, which started with just four employees and expanded to over 60 people under Lori's leadership. Both contributed towards the growth and development of corporate groups, charters, gift card and certificate programs, including a variety of marketing initiatives that resulted in exponential growth for the department.
As the next chapter in the course of their careers, they decided to once again join forces and create Partner-Ship Solutions, using their combined experiences over the decades to bring expertise to suppliers and travel partners looking for new and innovative ways to expand their business portfolio.
In addition to business development, both Pam and Lori have a knack for public speaking, and can add insightful commentary to any panel discussion, or ignite a room of thousands. Their energy is contagious!
