It’s been a week since we stepped off the Margaritaville at Sea Islander, and I’ve had a lot of thoughts about the experience.

There were definitely things we loved… and a few things we didn’t. But honestly? That’s true of every cruise line out there. No cruise is one-size-fits-all.

What we did love:
🌴 The laid-back island vibe
🎶 Live music everywhere we turned
🍹 Unique cocktails and mocktails at every bar
🎹 The piano bar (our favorite spot!)
✨ Beautiful décor, clean spaces, and incredibly friendly staff
📚 Plenty of quiet little nooks to relax and unwind
⛳ Mini golf, pools, arcade, waterslides, co****le & more
🇺🇸 The Hero’s Tribute — such a special touch

One challenge for us was food options, especially for picky eaters and food allergies. BUT I have to give credit where credit is due: once we spoke with guest services, they truly went above and beyond to make sure Martin had dinners he could enjoy every night. That level of care matters.

And one of the biggest highlights? The people. Everyone we met was friendly, relaxed, and just looking to enjoy a fun little getaway. We didn’t encounter the “party chaos” some people assume comes with shorter cruises.

Overall, we really enjoyed our time onboard. Would I recommend it? Absolutely… for the right traveler.

That’s exactly why working with a travel advisor matters. 🚢
Not every cruise line is the perfect fit for every traveler, and my job is to help match YOU with the cruise line, ship, and itinerary that best fits your travel style, budget, and expectations.

If you are only spending half a day in Animal Kingdom, you are missing some pretty sweet details! Animal Kingdom is a park that needs to be conquered slowly & thoroughly. You just have to slow down and take the time to enjoy all the thought that went into this beautiful park.

The Tree of Life is hard to miss, it is the centerpiece of the park. Did you know that one of the over 300 animals carved into the tree is David Greybeard, the first chimpanzee that Jane Goodall studied.

When you stand back and align your line of sight, the shrine in the Anandapur village area perfectly matches the Everest Mountain.

When you are baking in the sun, sometimes you just want something light to snack on. Cue the African street corn at Harambe Fruit Market or {add another snack you like at Animal Kingdom}

Slow down, and say “Hakuna Matata!” under our pals Simba, Timon and Pumbaa, an ICONIC Animal Kingdom photo spot.

What is your favorite thing about Animal Kingdom that you’re sure folks miss by breezing through the park?

I’m currently sitting on hold with a cruise line (estimated wait time: 2 HOURS 😅) because my clients’ itineraries just changed… 4 days before sailing.

Instead of Bermuda, they’re now headed to Saint John, New Brunswick.

And here’s the thing—this does happen. It’s written right into the cruise contract. But no one ever thinks it will happen to them… until it does.

My clients are understandably disappointed. This isn’t the vacation they envisioned.

But moments like this are exactly why working with a travel advisor matters.

✨ While my clients are going about their day, I’m the one:
• Sitting on hold
• Asking the right questions
• Pushing for the best possible outcome
• Making sure they’re taken care of

They’re not stuck navigating this alone.

And there’s another big takeaway here…

Every single one of these clients was offered travel insurance when they booked.
Every single one declined.

And yesterday?
Every single one asked about it.

Travel insurance—especially “cancel for any reason”—isn’t just an add-on. It’s peace of mind when things don’t go as planned (because sometimes… they don’t).

Travel is amazing. It’s exciting. It’s worth it.
But it’s not always predictable.

And when plans change, you want someone in your corner.

💬 If you’re planning a trip this year, let’s make sure you’re covered from start to finish—no surprises, no stress, just support when you need it most.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙
…and this one is personal.

Did you know that 3 of our team members have children on the Autism spectrum?

As a mom to a child on the spectrum and a travel advisor, I understand something many people don’t talk about enough:

➡️ Travel looks different for every family
➡️ And for families with autism or special needs, it requires thoughtful planning

The right resort
The right cruise
The right pacing
The right supports in place

Those details can make the difference between a stressful trip… and a truly magical one.

This is why I’ve made it part of my mission to help families feel confident traveling—without fear, overwhelm, or judgment.

From sensory-friendly strategies to choosing the right destinations, I help take the guesswork out of it so you can focus on what matters most:

✨ Making memories together

If you’ve ever thought,
“I don’t know if travel is possible for our family…”

I want you to know—it is. And I’m here to help.

Message me anytime. No pressure, just support.
