Thank you to everyone who has ‘liked’ or ‘shared’ a post of mine! Thank you if you have referred me to someone or mentioned my small business to a friend! Of course, thank you to all of my clients, without them, I would not have made this goal! Last year, I was a few hundred dollars short of making this goal, and here I am with four months left in the year!
I get paid a commission from the suppliers when you book with me, it does not cost extra to book with a travel agent, and I can save you money and sometimes have perks, and can help guide you to make the most of your vacation! I get an email every week with special deals I can offer, so please check with me before you book on your own!
Today I have clients boarding a southbound cruise in Alaska to Vancouver! I have clients in Canada on a cruise and 9 clients in Barcelona boarding different ships tomorrow! Also, tomorrow I have clients boarding Margaritaville at Sea’s Islander from Tampa! Yes, you can book a cruise on your own, and you save the cruise line the commission they would be paying me. But I might have discounts or dining or other things to consider. Use a travel agent and support their small business!!

Today, I had six clients arrive in Barcelona for their amazing cruise on NCL with stops in France, Spain and Italy! The cruise sounded amazing and if I wasn’t going next month, I would have hoped on this cruise in a minute! Have fun in Barcelona, they went early for a couple days and to make sure they are there for their flight on 9/1!
I also have three clients flying today to Barcelona, taking two 7-day cruises back to back! They get to see so many more ports this way, and only have to fly one time to Europe!
Yesterday, I had clients board NCL for a cruise into Canada! Maybe too soon for the fall colors, but what a great way to beat this Florida heat! Let’s start planning for next summer!!
Have you dreamt of going to Alaska? Princess cruises takes the most people to Alaska every year, and has the best pier space at the ports. Holland America has the only land tour that has a Tundra wilderness tour. Yes, many cruise lines go to Alaska, and one might be a better fit for you than another. Think about sailing north or southbound from Seward/ Whittier to or from Vancouver for the best glaciers and if you’d like to do a land tour! Anyone interested in me putting together a group for 2025 or 2026? It’s not too soon to be thinking about next summer or even 2026 for better pricing! This week, I have clients traveling around Mt McKinley/Denali National Park and then cruising south to Vancouver! I’ve cruised Alaska twice, but thinking 2026 with a land tour would be amazing!!!

Margaritaville Island Reserve Rivera Maya Not gonna lie, I was super excited to see the Margaritaville properties on my recent trip. I’ve been a ParrotHead for over 35 years, and love seeing where the brand is headed! This first resort is smaller, and quaint. I love how the buildings look and the small beach. This is a family friendly resort, and yes, there were kids yelling in a pool which was wedged between buildings. Other than that, I really liked the cozy feel, and would love to come here with a group of friends! This property has about 150 suites. Another thing I like, is the way they stock your ‘mini bar’. Based your your type of room and the amount of nights, you get a certain amount of ‘points’. You then go to the store on the property, Joe Merchant’s…. Anyone know th reference??? ..and you use your points for whatever you want. No more switching out the beers or sodas for the brands you want, you just get what you want from the beginning! You can also rent a blender! Margaritaville brand, of course!
Le Petit Chef We booked some specialty dining and we are so glad we did! The food in the main dining room has been delicious, but Jeremy (my 20-year old son), saw a video about this restaurant years ago, and when I told him it was onboard this ship, and I had my own room, he decided to join me! We were sat at 6pm and asked to remove everything from our table. We were given two menus, one, which would have the animation which would go with the dishes, and alternate dishes, you could substitute for each course. We wanted the animation! After all parties are seated, and ordered, the blinds were closed and at 630p, the show started with Le Petit Chef running around our table and preparing the dish, and telling a story. All diners recieved the dish together and had ample time to eat before the next course. There was an additional charge for this meal ($60 plus tip), but we enjoyed it so much, we booked again when we found out there was an entirely different menu for the rest of the cruise! Last night, back in the main dining room, for Lobster and beef Wellington, I met another travel advisor onboard, who really wanted to get in but they were sold out. So we had the reservation changed, so they could have our table tonight and enjoy it as well!
