Here's a resort tour at Loews Royal Pacific at Universal Orlando. This is one of my favorite resorts because:

🎢 It's the closest hotel to Islands of Adventure
🌺 It has a luau!
👙 It has one of the best pools at Universal
💰 Free Express Passes for everyone in your party can be a HUGE savings over buying Express Passes separately.

I am gauging interest for 2025 and 2026 group cruise to:

🌷 Tulip Time in Amsterdam River Cruise (Spring 2026)
🎄 Christmas Markets on the Rhine River Cruise (November 2025)
🌴 A Hawaiian Islands cruise (Likely fall 2025 or spring 2026)

What is the benefit of booking into a group? Better pricing and preferred amenities! If you have any interest in any of the following, comment and let me know! There is no obligation; I am simply gauging interest at this time.

**Please note that booking into a group does not mean you have to do any activities with others. You can, but you can also join in for the benefits and do your own thing!

Did you know there's a *new* Universal Orlando package that can only be booked through a Universal Travel Agent? This package is a pre-or post-cruise package that can be added to cruises out of Port Canaveral. It can be added to a pre-existing cruise (or the cruise can be booked separately, but I book through all major cruise lines!). The packages include:
🌎 1-3 days of park tickets at Universal Orlando.
🌎 FREE Universal Express Passes when staying at select Signature Resorts.
🌎 2-park or 3-park tickets (Universal Studios, Islands of Aventure, Volcano Bay Waterpark is optional.)
🌎 One-way transportation between Universal Orlando and Port Canaveral!

So, if you're already cruising out of Port Canaveral or would like to book both, let me help you add Universal fun to your Caribbean cruise!

I just realized it's been a minute since I talked about Cancun! Cancun is one of my favorite destinations, especially when you only have a short time to visit or you're looking for the max bang for your buck. We have YouTube videos for some of our favorite resorts in Cancun, including the Hyatt Zilara Cancun! I have clients heading here soon, so I thought it was a great time to talk about it. Did you know the Hyatt Zilara Cancun is closing next year to go through a full renovation? This is one of my absolute favorite resorts (anywhere) but the interior is a bit dated so this is very exciting. If you'd like to go before the renovations (or after) reach out and let's plan your trip. Don't worry, I'll be there before and after to show all the changes.
Here is a link to a resort tour: https://youtu.be/PhliVPnGTaM?si=GepJmX_k6JsFQh1K I am excited to go back after the renovations and show you the updates!
