Thought it was about time I reintroduced myself!

Hey! I’m Melissa your friendly Travel Agent next door 👋

I’m a Canadian mama to 2 very busy boys and married to my best friend & the most amazing and supportive husband❤️

My favourite thing to do is travel (and plan travel!). BUT when I’m not planning vacations for myself (or my clients) right now you will probably catch me browsing Pinterest for my next home DIY or decorating inspo, or outside soaking up the warm Canadian summer with a book & cocktail 🍹

I know what it’s like being a mom, it’s busy, stressful and overwhelming but also filled with so much joy and happiness. I’m a firm believer that moms (and dads!) need a break on vacation & it’s not always possible to take a trip without kids. My goal is to show you how cruising can be the perfect mix of family time & adult only time allowing you to actually relax on your vacation! Because you DESERVE it! 🫶

Follow along to learn more! I’m SO glad you are here!

✨Royal Caribbean Booking Bonus ✨

Book your next sailing on Royal Caribbean before the end of June and get a specialty dining credit for 2! (Per room)

Terms:
- 6 nights or longer Caribbean, Bermuda or Bahamas
- Sailings September 1st through March 31st. YES this includes both Christmas & March Break sailings!
- Balcony Stateroom or above

This is my favourite perk that I’m able to offer my clients. I love being able to have one of our specialty dining meals taken care of and often splurge on one we wouldn’t normally try.

Worried about the kids? You can just pay the difference for their portion OR my favourite option book a later dinner & drop them off at the kids club and have a date night 🥂

Ready to book your next Royal Caribbean cruise? Comment cruise and I’ll send you a link to book a consultation call to learn all about your cruise vaycay dreams!

Think you need to put off cruising until your kids are older? Think again!

Cruising is perfect for kids of any age especially those little ones! But not every ship or itinerary is the best for every age. Here are some of my top tips when choosing a cruise for little ones…

✨Kiddos in diapers? Ensure you do the research and pick a ship that has a splash area or pool for our littlest cruisers! Ships will often not allow swim diapers in the main pools so it can be a huge disappointment arriving and not being able to use the pool.

✨Consider your stateroom carefully. While it may be tempting to choose an interior for the lower price you may want to consider a balcony, suite or even connecting rooms. If you stick to normal bedtime and nap time routines you don’t want to be stuck in a dark room with no place to go.

✨Consider your itinerary. Pick an itinerary that has easily accessible ports with beaches and kid friendly activities. Many shore excursions will have a minimum age requirement so you will most likely be doing a bit of the ports on your own.
