Our Services

Cruise Agency

Brooks Cruise Services, is a travel agency focused on helping people choose and enjoy great cruise vacations. With a passion for cruises, certifications by many cruise lines, certification by CLIA, and practical experience from helping others we are more than qualified to help you pick your cruise vacation.

Cruising is one of those vacations where there are huge differences between ships, iteneraries, and cruise lines. Even within the same ship various cabin categories can provide for very different levels of service. The best suites on some of the big cruise lines offer service unmatched by some upscale cruise lines. Even on upscale cruise lines there are variances between service levels based on what cabin type you take, and sometimes the price difference between cabin categories is not very big. To that end having a travel/cruise agent who really understands these things makes a big difference.

We are one of the agencies where we actually know the differences and what will make each cruise unique. Fitting the cruise to your needs/wants is important to us like it is for you. Working together we can help you pick the memorable cruise and cabin category to have a fun cruise. Click here to get more information.

DDV Ranch

The DDV Ranch is a place Dave loves to go to get out of the city for one and also to see his heard of beautiful Texas Longhorn Cattle. While BEVO may be widely recognized at UT sports events, he was there when I went there and earned my undergrad degree. While he may be a handsome steer, I dare say some of my herd can give him a run for his money in a beauty contest.

Many of the cattle are registered and the remainder are eligible to be registered as all are 100% pure bred Texas Longhorns out of varous lines. These animals are very hardy and fairly drought resistant which is very important given the drought situation in Texas at present. When used for beef these are the leanest beef available and are leaner than just about any other meat products.

Health and Life Experts Insurance Agency

Brooks Insurance Services was founded nearly six years ago to couple expertise in that realm with a desire to help folks with their insurance needs. The focus continues to be health and associated insurance products. We serve both indivudals and groups 2-500 in Texas, Arizona, and Florida primarily but can service other states as well.

Products sold include health insurance. life insurnace (pretty much any kind), fixed annuities, indexed annuities, long term care insurnace, supplemental medical insurance, products for those with Medicare, and disability insurance.

Travel Agency

The travel agency is really one in the same as the Cruise Agency. You could say it is an expanded agency because it offers expanded services over what is offered essentially by the provision of more than just cruises. Because of our travel experience and expertise there are many destinations and vacation packages where we have expertise allowing us to serve your needs in that realm as well as within the cruising world.

We enjoy helping folks with packages to Disney properties and vacations world wide; Australia; beach resorts throughout the Caribbean; and destinations throughout Alaska and Florida both. We've been there, seen what we are helping you book, and know how to put you into a great vacation.
