2027 into 2028 itineraries just dropped, and they include NYC sailings too! Who wants to take advantage of these great rates and pick the best rooms on the ship? My favorite thing to do is book this far in advance. I get the best deals and can pay it over time well in advance so it doesn’t break the bank! 💃🏻

🚢 Big news from Virgin Voyages!

One of the biggest pieces of feedback from Sailors has been dining wait times and the challenge of snagging reservations onboard. Virgin listened!

They’re rolling out a Virtual Dining Queue, which lets you:
✨ Join a restaurant waitlist right from the app
📍 Track your place in line in real time
📲 Get a notification when your table is ready

That means you can keep enjoying the ship instead of waiting outside a restaurant.

Rollout schedule:
• Scarlet Lady – Available now
• Resilient Lady – July 23
• Valiant Lady – July 26
• Brilliant Lady – July 30

A quick reminder: this doesn’t replace advance dining reservations. You’ll still want to book your must-have restaurants ahead of time, but the virtual queue is a fantastic option for spontaneous dinners, schedule changes, or if you missed making reservations.

I think this is a great improvement and should make dining onboard much more flexible!

Have you ever had trouble getting the dinner reservation you wanted on Virgin Voyages?

I don't usually post about numbers, but this one feels worth celebrating because it isn't really about me.

This quarter, I finished #16 in the company for sales, and I'm currently #13 overall for the year.

Every booking represents something so much bigger than a number. It represents a family watching fireworks together for the first time. A couple celebrating an anniversary. Kids seeing the ocean, meeting their favorite characters, or exploring a new country. Friends reconnecting. Grandparents making memories with their grandkids.
Knowing that I get to play a small part in those moments is something I never take for granted.
To every client who trusted me with your vacation, thank you. Thank you for inviting me into your plans, asking for my advice, and allowing me to help create experiences you'll remember for years to come.

To everyone who has referred a friend, shared one of my posts, liked, commented, or simply cheered me on, thank you. Supporting a small business means more than you probably realize, and I am so grateful for every bit of encouragement.
I'm incredibly thankful for this little business, for the relationships it's brought into my life, and for the opportunity to help so many amazing people make memories together. Thank you also to my agency owner, Shelly Ferry for the opportunity for me to get to do what I do.

Here's to many more adventures, magical moments, and passport stamps. I can't wait to see where your next trip takes you. ❤️

I can not brag enough about sweet Lauren Simmons!! She made the trip of a lifetime happen for our family! We took a group of 23 to Costa Rica, one needing a wheelchair, multiple excursions being planned, as well as a ceremony to celebrate our 25 years of marriage. Lauren helped me pull it off without a single hitch! Everything was perfect! I am so thankful, not only for her endless help, but for making a new friend. She is amazing at her job and so sweet to work with. I will recommend her to EVERYONE wanting to travel, no matter how close or far!🥰

I love being a Floridian… but I’d move to Alaska in a heart beat!
