Trust me, I’ve seen it happen time and time again:
❌ Missing out on true Caribbean hidden gems: DIY-ing your trip? You’re probably headed to the same crowded beaches everyone else is. Meanwhile, you’re missing out on that secret rum shack, locals-only jerk stand, or hidden beach bar with the best sunset views — places I know about because I’ve been and have great local connections on so many islands.
❌ Forgetting about the little details: Booking a flight and hotel is just step one. The real magic’s in the details — like reservations at that stunning beachside restaurant, or having that great local guide who makes the excursion so much more enjoyable. You don’t want to go home with FOMO because you didn’t plan for all of those little things that really take a trip to the next level.
❌ Overspending on vacation vibes: Think you can only save when you book online? Think again! I have access to special perks and pricing that has saved my clients thousands in the past. Once I know your budget I’m serving up recommendations that truly will make that budget work for you!
And a bonus?
❌ Not timing your trip around local events and festivals: There are some GREAT events in the Caribbean if you’re looking to go off resort. Food festivals, Carnival, jazz festivals and other events. If you’re not looking at the local calendar to see when some of these events are happening, you’re missing out!

Here's a quick overview of what you should expect for that luxury cruise to celebrate your big milestone.
➡️ Ultra-Luxury Cruise Lines (like Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, or Silversea):
These start from around $5,000 per person for a 7-day cruise, with more exclusive suites and longer itineraries easily going up to $15,000-$30,000+ per person.
➡️ Luxury Ocean Cruises (like Oceania, Viking Ocean, or Azamara):
Expect to budget $3,000-$8,000 per person for a 7- to 10-day cruise, with higher prices for suites or longer voyages.
Things like cabin type, destinations, shore excursions, and spa days will also impact how much you should budget.
Now, I'm all about making sure my clients' cruise experience maximizes their budget, so if you're looking to splurge in 2025 for that big celebration and want help picking the right cruise line, ship and sailing, DM me, I'd love to help!

I didn't want to be the one to mention the "S" word, but I wouldn't be a good and responsible travel advisor if I didn't remind you that in a few months the sand and sun will be calling your name.
And honestly, the best way to get through these shorter days, less sunshine, and colder temps is to have something in your calendar to look forward to!
Whether you're thinking of island hopping on a cruise ship or basking in the sun in an all-inclusive resort in places like St Lucia, Antigua, or St Martin, you've come to the right place!
It's as simple as sending me a DM to get you booked.

Nothing like a little travel perk to take a trip from good to absolutely AMAZING.
My clients recently checked into their hotel, and here's what they have to say about the little extra touches I was able to arrange for them:
"The bubbly waiting for us in our room was the right way to start off this trip. We've never had that before, and honestly, I can't go back!"
