🇨🇺 8 YEARS AGO TODAY! 🚢

This memory popped up today, and it reminded me just how lucky we were to have experienced Havana, Cuba, on a Royal Caribbean cruise!

Did you know there was only about a three year window when cruise ships from the U.S. could visit Cuba? Cruising to Cuba began in 2016 and by June 2019 it was all over!

We were fortunate enough to visit during that short window, and what an experience it was! The colorful classic cars, history, architecture and of course… the salsa dancing lessons! 💃🤣 Maybe I’ll share those videos when they pop up in my memories!

I’ve been fortunate to visit some pretty amazing places over the years, but Havana is definitely one of the most unique and memorable.

Looking back, it’s pretty cool to realize we got to experience a little piece of cruising history!

And seriously… could that pink car have been any more perfect?! 💗🇨🇺

I LOVE when clients send me pictures from their travels! Today, I’m getting these beautiful views of Portland Head Light and the Celebrity Silhouette docked in Portland, Maine!

They are enjoying an 11-night New England & Canada cruise.

I took a very similar cruise with my mom several years ago, and it was absolutely fantastic! The coastal towns, beautiful scenery, and fall colors make this one of my favorite times of year to visit this part of the country.

If you’ve never considered a New England & Canada cruise, you’re missing out! It’s such a different experience from the Caribbean and one I highly recommend! 🚢

CARNIVAL IS GOING TO AFRICA! 🚢

Now THIS is an itinerary I didn’t expect from Carnival!

In 2027, Carnival Sunshine will make Carnival’s first-ever visits to Africa, with stops in Tunisia and Morocco as part of its European season. 🇹🇳🇲🇦

Think Spain, Italy, France, Malta AND Africa — all on a Carnival cruise.

And there’s even a sailing planned around the total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027! 🌑

Would you cruise to Africa on Carnival? Because I absolutely would! 🙋🏻‍♀️

🍍🧽 WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA?!

Royal Caribbean just announced a brand-new Broadway show coming to Hero of the Seas — SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical!

I need to know….
Are you excited for this one, or would you rather see a different Broadway show at sea?

I’m not going to lie, it probably wouldn’t be my first choice, but I have no doubt that Royal Caribbean will make it amazing

One of the benefits of living in FL….

I had to take my mom to the airport and my son that goes to UCF doesn’t have class on Fridays. It only made sense….

We are now annual pass holders. Tell me what is your favorite park!?

🚨 NEW RESORT 🚨

Okay… this NEW adults-only resort in Costa Mujeres has my attention. 👀

Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres just opened and it is definitely not your typical adults-only all-inclusive.

Lazy river ✔️
Surf/wave pool ✔️
Bowling ✔️
Pickleball ✔️
Virtual golf ✔️
Swim-up rooms ✔️
Beautiful white-sand beach ✔️

It’s modern and upscale, but there’s actually stuff to DO — which I love. They got me at lazy river!!

And interesting little tidbit… it looks like this resort may have originally been planned as a traditional all-inclusive before they decided to make it adults-only. That would explain all the fun extras!

I’m definitely adding this one to my list.

Who wants me to price it? 🌴 ☀️ 🍹

One of the questions I get ALL the time is…

“When is the best time to cruise if I want a lower price?”

The answer usually comes down to one BIG thing: when everyone else can travel.🤪

When school is out, prices tend to go UP. Think spring break, summer vacation, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. More families traveling = more demand = higher cruise prices.

But if your dates are flexible, there are some really great windows throughout the year when kids are back in school and cruise prices are typically lower.

Here is a general idea of what that looks like.

These are general trends, not guarantees. The ship, itinerary, departure port and how early you book can all make a difference too.

Ready to cruise? Let’s find the right sailing for you! 🚢
