This year has been filled with unforgettable trips that Iâve had the joy of planning for my amazing clients. A few standouts:
đź A luxury couples getaway in La Romana, DR, complete with a private swim up suite and sunset dinner on the beach and a sparkling NA beverage.
đ´ A multi-generational family cruise to the Western Caribbean where couples, teenagers and grandparents enjoyed adventure both on land and at sea.
đ An adventurous escape to Alaska aboard Royal Caribbean, with views of the landscape that left my clients speechless.
đˇ A romantic trip to the Bahamas, where my clients engaged in some adventure in an onsite waterpark and then sipped some delicious NA margaritas made with Ritual non-alcoholic tequila!
These trips remind me why I love what I do â making things easy for my clients on their travels and leaving lots of room for them to simply just enjoy!

Amex? Chase Sapphire? It doesn't matter.When you book properties in the Caribbean with me, you're getting early check-in, free breakfast, room upgrades and other perks!
Here's a quick overview of what you should expect for that luxury cruise to celebrate your big milestone.
âĄď¸ 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.
âĄď¸ 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. Many of these luxury lines add extra amenities such as 2 for 1 airfare and inclusive excursions. They also work with top mixologists to ensure that their are quality NA beverages on board!
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, get in touch, I'd love to help!
Remember - you get what you pay forđ

âď¸Thinking all islands are the same?
Every island is unique, and just because you've seen one doesn't mean you've seen them all and there's nothing left to explore. To assume that would mean missing out on so much!
đ¨ Staying at only big all-inclusive hotels
Bigger and more well-known hotel chains are only the start. There are so many great, lesser-known properties, boutique hotels, and villas. But don't rule out the AI properties. Club Med AIs are packed with activities like daily fitness classes and snorkeling.
đď¸ Not exploring beyond the resort
You're missing out on so many great cultural experiences, delicious local food, and the opportunity to try new things if you're only sticking to the resort. There are lots of ways to explore â self-guided tours, group tours and private tours and experiences. Check out a local restaurant such as Door No.4 in the Caymans who just recently upgraded their food and beverage menu - new delicious NA beverages included!
đď¸ Only visiting in high season
Just because a certain period is a "good" time to visit a place doesn't always mean it's the "best" time for you. You can't go wrong visiting the Caribbean in high season (January to May). But the off-season, such as the shoulder season when summer ends, means better offers and less crowds.
â Not understanding the local nuances
Not every Caribbean island has the same currency, not all islands have English as their first language, and depending on where you're visiting, you may have more or less access to things like ATMs, banks, etc. You want to do your research (Or ask your travel advisor!) to make sure you're prepared.
Bookmark this for later, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about visiting the Caribbean this Fall/Winter.

How Hotels and Resorts Benefit When They Include Zero Free OfferingsâŚ
Letâs face it. Itâs not the food and beverage bill where hotels make their biggest profits; itâs the cost of the rooms themselves.
But what some properties donât understand is that by offering a few custom, curated zero free beverages and a few decent NA wines that they invite a whole new demographic to the table: the sober, sober-curious, and a variety of other non drinkers.
As a travel advisor who specializes in alcohol free travel - and an avid traveler myself - I look for the properties who focus on quality in their food and beverage selection. Do I not book clients at properties if they donât offer these locations? If I find a resort with the same quality accommodations AND zero free beverages, then I book the latter.
As Iâve said in the past, the luxury brands get it; they hire mixologists to curate their beverage menu which adds more value and choice for their patrons, but the smaller properties who donât have the budget for a mixologist can still add quality NA beverages to their menus by simply having bar staff that know how to craft a cocktail. And yes - put them in writing because if we donât see them, we donât know they exist.

What's the best part of waking up that first morning on vacation?
For me, it's that first cup of coffee where I'll get to sip as I listen to the ocean and watch the sun rise without the hangover.
Plus the anticipation of all of the fun experiences that I have planned for the week.
What's your favorite first morning experience you look forward to on vacation?
