One of my favorite things about Virgin Voyages? You aren’t paying extra every time you want something better than the main dining room.

More than 20 eateries are included, with options ranging from Korean barbecue and upscale Mexican to steak, seafood, pizza and brunch. There’s no traditional cruise buffet and no assigned dining time—just genuinely good food when you want it.

Join our adults-only group aboard Brilliant Lady, sailing the Mexican Riviera April 25–May 2, 2027.

Central Sea Terrace cabins are currently 15% below the current rate and receive a $100 Bar Tab per cabin.

✈️ Where are my solo travelers?

If you've ever looked at a cruise and wondered why traveling alone can cost SO much, let's talk about the dreaded single supplement.

The good news? Not every cruise line treats solo travelers the same way. Some offer solo cabins, reduced single supplements, and even sailings where the supplement is waived completely.

I put together my advice on what single supplements are, which cruise lines I watch for solo travelers, and how to find a better value when cruising alone.

And my biggest piece of advice? Don't wait for someone else to be ready before you start seeing the world.

You know you've planned the right vacation when your client texts you from Cabo asking if they can stay another night. 😂🌴

Yesterday, one of my clients staying at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica decided they simply weren't ready to come home yet.

And honestly? That's about the best review of a vacation I could ask for.

Find yourself a travel advisor who plans a trip so good you want to extend it. 😉

Trader Sam’s is one of those Disneyland experiences you have to do at least once. 🍹🌴 The drinks are fun, the atmosphere is even better, and you never quite know what’s going to happen when someone orders certain cocktails. 😂

Definitely add this one to your Disneyland list!

If you're considering Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway in Puerto Vallarta, I just shared my honest review after staying there myself!

Here's what I cover:
🌴 Is the location worth it?
🍽️ How was the food?
🏖️ What's the beach really like?
🌅 The one restaurant you absolutely shouldn't miss (hint: the views from El Palomar are incredible!)

I always believe in experiencing a resort firsthand before recommending it to my clients, so you can get an honest perspective—not just what's on the resort's website.

Have questions about Villa Premiere or trying to decide which Puerto Vallarta resort is right for you? I'd be happy to help!

3 days in Mexico City, and my camera roll is basically a love letter to street food + markets! 😍🌮✨ From tacos bursting with flavor to colorful bites that felt totally unique every day—this city’s food scene is pure diversity and joy. Ready to go back! 🇲🇽🍋
