I have to share this....

A while back, I priced flights and a hotel stay at the Cadillac Hotel in Miami Beach prior to our Icon cruise. We decided that's where we'd stay.

Today Allen messaged me that he didn't think that was gonna happen because, (forgetting I'd already priced it out), he had looked it up and balked at the pricing for the Cadillac.

So I reminded him that I'd already priced it out, but that I would check it again tonight. Sure enough, my pricing for the flights to Miami and back WITH the hotel stay, was the same as what his search for JUST the hotel stay was costing.

It really does not cost more to use a Travel Advisor...it SAVES you $$$. We saved almost $1k. And that's only for a domestic, round-trip flight and a 3-night stay. Can't imagine what the difference would have been if it were for a week + vacation.

We booked our flights and room tonight using a packaging service that I have access to as a certified Travel Advisor. 😎 Ideal flight times, awesome, ocean view room with breakfast and welcome drinks, and for a great deal. I'm beyond psyched for this trip! 😍😍😍

The WanderLots Crew is on the road again! 😁 Heading up to Lake Michigan--a first for all three of us.

As usual, Maggie is pretty psyched about it.

I think I'm going to really like these changes. 😍

And I KNOW Allen, "Mister Eats In 3 Minutes and Is Ready to Go," is definitely going to appreciate a reduced dining time! 😂

After perusing the new, themed menus, I'm all hungry again. Cannot wait to be on Voyager in April to try them out for myself!!! 🔱

Happy holidays to everyone but the company for skipping the security line.

From memory, this looks almost just like the balcony cabin on Anthem of the Seas.

The couch was blue on Anthem is the only "big" difference I notice. It's a very comfortable, well thought out room.

So apparently RCL has found a design that works well so they're sticking to it. Can't fault 'em for that, and I appreciate the less sensory-overloading room, where you wanna come back and be able to decompress.

The Wonder of the Seas was one of 2022's most highly anticipated cruise ships but I wasn't as wowed by my stateroom as I was the rest of the ship.
