Wondering why cruises are a perfect vacation?! Here are just a few reasons:

1. Value- “cruises are pricey” yes they are, but have you ever looked at what’s included? Your accommodations, your food(not just burgers), I’m talking lobster, prime rib, amazing desserts, everything you want! Your entertainment, your transportation between destinations, your not having to pay an Uber fee to get back to your room at night, your visit to multiple islands

2. You get to go to multiple places and only unpack one time! You don’t have to move at all!

3. Plenty of things for everyone every age to do! Kids clubs, night time parties, pools, comedy clubs, shopping, casinos, seminars, spas, gyms, stage shows, contests, deck parties, sports, adults only decks, themed bars, so many restaurants, arcades, 24 hour free ice cream👍🏻 something for everyone!

4. Easy to plan! No extra decisions, you don’t need to plan anything once your cruise is paid for. Other than if you want to do excursions of course.

5. Ships are floating cities! You cannot begin to understand how big they actually are until you are on one. Yes they are bigger than the titanic 😉 and much safer. 🤣 they have laundry rooms, medical facilities, anything a “town” would have. Plus everyone is just on the ship for a great time! No crabby attitudes allowed!

6. Don’t want to take the kids? Cruises are a romantic relaxing vacation too! You will not have a shortage of things to do. Adult only decks, shows, fine dining, romantic destinations and excursions, the list goes on and on ❤️

7. Meeting new people you wouldn’t meet anywhere else! You will meet so many people from all over the world on your cruise. The people who work on the ship are from many different countries as well, and all super friendly! No rude service! A great experience for kids to meet others their age from all around the US, and other countries.

I can’t wait for our group to go in 2021!! Are you coming along? It’s going to be amazing!!

Good afternoon everyone! I am starting to nail down my cruise plans for 2021! It’s looking like an 8 day cruise is the winning option. I will be reserving staterooms in February, and taking initial deposits at that time. First deposits are about $50 per stateroom. If your interested in going on my group cruise, and haven’t joined my planning group, let me know!! The second round of deposits would be due around March-April (depending on booking dates) and those are around $250 per person. Once you pay the 250 pp deposit, you will have until next January-February to pay it off. ☀️ 🏝

Remember travelers! Unless you have a passport, you will be required a “real” id come October. You also need a real ID now in order to get a passport! We ran into this personally last spring and it was a hassle.

Working on my homework today! What will it be?! 🤔 Are you going to come on my big 2021 cruise??!!

08/01/2020

Is everyone enjoying the freezing cold day today?! I’m spending the day narrowing down choices for our next group cruise!!! 🚢 if you are interested in a cruise for spring 2021, and are not part of my cruise planning page, please let me know so I can send you the link to join!!! ☀️ I am putting a few polls up today to help pick the final choice.

03/01/2020

Hey everyone! Now that the stress of the holidays are over, I can start figuring out our next cruise! 🛳 I have 2 kids with birthdays in January, so as soon as those are over I will nail down the exact cruise, ship, dates, prices, and start reservations for our 2021 cruise!!!! I for one cannot wait to be back on the ocean and exploring beautiful islands 🌴
I will be setting up a FB group maybe this weekend for those of you who are interested in seeing what it’s all about. I am trying to look for a cruise during the time our local kids will be on spring break. As soon as I find out those, I can start looking at particular cruises and their availability for groups. I have also had many people go back between taking their kids, and not. I can say last time, all of the kids had a blast the entire trip. Of course it’s 💯 up to you! If your worried about free time, and concerned about not wanting to leave them alone, they do offer kids clubs. They break them into groups, and offer different activities for all ages under 18! If you want a date night, bring your kids to kids club, and go to dinner, a show, casino, or just a walk. They also have options to keep them at kids club while the ship is in port. Perfect if your kiddos aren’t old enough to enjoy an excursion you want to enjoy. This cruise is for everyone, couples, friends, families, same as the last one!

🚢 🛳 ATTENTION FB 🚢 🛳

I have been on the DL lately, but I wanted to give everyone the heads up on the 2021 group cruise 🚢

🛳 For those of you who didn’t join last time: Once I reserve a group spot, I only have so long to receive your $50 pp down payment. Once that is completed you have another allotted timeframe to pay your $250pp. If you do not put that $250 pp down, you lose your spot on my group! You also cannot book your preferred stateroom until that payment is made. Once you make that payment, you have until about a month or so before the sail date to pay off the remainder of your balance.

🛳 Now, I do not have a destination or dates nailed down right now, BUT I am going to try to book one that runs with the kids spring break 2021. I do not know prices yet because I haven’t chosen a cruise. I will probably start booking in February or March 2020 ($50 downpayment) and would need your $250 payment the following month. This would give you pretty much an entire year to pay off your balance!

🛳 This is open to couples, singles, families, anyone who wants to join. It will be a blast! Last time we had 25 I think total and it was so much fun! Let’s try to get over 25 this time!! I will be putting a group together to start adding information to as I know it. If you want to be added to the group, comment here, message, text, or call me! ❤️🌴 ☀️

Good morning FB! Have you been dreading winter already? I know I do every fall. If your looking to take a vacation this winter, now is the time to book!! Let me know where you want to go! 😊 Here are some Vacation pictures from our cruise in March... just because I’m counting down until our next one! 🛳 🏝

All my toy story lovers!!!! I cannot wait to go back and enjoy this land myself!!! 😊 Disney 2020 bookings are open, so send me a message.

Hey FB! I am starting to plan my next group cruise! The dates I am looking at are spring 2021 (either March or April hopefully.) Please start thinking if your interested in coming along and let me know. The earlier I can book it, the better chance I have at getting us an amazing itinerary and staterooms we want. Right now I am looking at a Southern Caribbean Itinerary, this cruise is 8 days, leaves from Miami, and visits ports in Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire. If the time comes and I’m unable to book this particular cruise, I will definitely look for the next best one! I am planning on coming on this cruise along with my husband and kids (maybe 😉)
If your a fellow cruiser, you know this, but new cruisers don’t-
—Once I reserve a cruise, you must pay your 50$ deposit within 30 days, if not, your spot is not held in the group.
—Once I get your 50$ deposit, you must pay your second deposit ($250 per person) by the cut off, or you lose your spot on the cruise. Once you pay your $250pp, you may choose your individual stateroom. Then you are free to make payments on your cruise balance up until a couple of months before we set sail.

Finally I know expenses with back to school/ sports, and then the holidays are coming up, so right now I’m looking at reserving a cruise after Christmas. I just want to give everyone a heads up on what payments to expect so if you need to, you can start saving now!! 🛳 ☀️ 🏝 🍹

If you plan on renewing your id, flying, cruising or getting a passport soon make sure you have a real ID! If you don’t, it will likely ruin your vacation...

Starting in October 2020, to travel domestically, every traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or an approved ID card or passport.

Hello FB! I have been checking out all kinds of itineraries for my next group cruise in 2021, and I’m leaning towards southern Caribbean! The ports look absolutely amazing, but it would most likely be an 8 day cruise and not 6. Not that I would complain about 2 extra days in paradise! 🌴 Hopefully by mid/late summer I will have some plans nailed down and will start booking! 🛳 🚢

07/05/2019

Royal Caribbean’s new private island is now open!!!! (some of it) This place looks super fun!! Check it out! (Access to the island is free, BUT, it’s activities other than the beach will run you approximately 100$ to 180$ per person)

01/05/2019

This is why you use a travel agent! They know what they’re doing, they know all the inside tricks and tips. They do all the work for you! You can’t get that from those booking sites or on your own without the months of time consuming homework! I try my hardest to go the extra mile 😊
