MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay - MSC Marine Reserve, was absolutely stunning! We got off the ship first thing in the morning and essentially had South Beach all to ourselves for awhile. The water was beautiful and the beaches were fantastic! The evening lighthouse show as we were sailing away was the perfect ending to our day! 🏝️🛳️

Today is National Take a Cruise Day! 🛳️❤️

People always ask me why I love cruising so much…and I always tell them it’s because there truly is something for everyone on a cruise! 🛳️❤️

Whatever your preference is, there are several different cruise lines with various itineraries and activities to choose from. I have sailed on many cruises, and can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one! It’s my idea of an amazing vacation! 🛳️❤️

Why do you love cruising? 🛳️❤️

Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point was truly magical! We enjoyed the walk to the island (wagons available for the young ones) and loved seeing all the sights on our way to the beach. We were some of the first ones off the ship, so we got the perfect spot on the beach and my daughter was able to have the waterpark to herself for about 15-20 minutes! I highly recommend getting off the ship as soon as they let guests off. 🛳️

The lunch buffet and non-alcoholic drinks were included at no additional cost and we were impressed with the food! We explored the island, watched the parade, met with some of the characters, browsed the shops, and met new friends along the way! 🛳️

This port was one of the highlights of our cruise! 🛳️❤️

One of our favorite places to visit is Atlantis in the Bahamas! ☀️There is so much to do for all ages - the Aquaventure waterpark (with slides, pools, lagoons, kids water playground, and a mile long lazy river), beaches, a marine habitat, swimming with the dolphins, a casino, shopping, dining…and it’s all tons of FUN! 🏝️💛

The best part is they have day passes so if you are visiting the port of Nassau during your cruise, you can head over and enjoy the day at Atlantis! Have you been? What’s your favorite thing to do there? Our answer: EVERYTHING! 💛🛳️

This is one of my favorite things about taking a cruise…getting to see so many different, amazing places all over the world! 🛳️ What is your favorite port you have visited? I have so many! 🩵

One of my very favorite ports to visit is Grand Turk - an island in amazing Turks and Caicos. Not only is it beautiful with gorgeous turquoise waters, it’s also packed full of fun adventures and excursions for all ages. The port has plenty of shopping and Margaritaville, which has a huge pool, beach access, swim up bar, lively music, delicious food and drinks, and is located near the cruise ship. Counting down the days until we go back… 🏖️🛳️🩵

🩵 Wondering if using a travel agent is worth it? IT IS! On top of all of these reasons, another big reason is my services are completely FREE! I would love to help you plan your next vacay!! 🏖️

TOP 10 REASONS TO USE A TRAVEL AGENT

✨Expert Guidance
Travel agents know the destinations, cruise lines, resorts, and travel trends — helping you avoid costly mistakes.

✨Personalized Service
Your vacation is tailored to you — your style, preferences, and budget — instead of a one-size-fits-all online package.

✨Time Savings
You can spend hours researching… or you can let a professional handle it while you focus on packing.

✨Exclusive Deals & Perks
Agents often have access to promotions, upgrades, and bonus amenities you won’t find on public websites.

✨Stress-Free Planning
From flights to transfers to excursions, every detail is handled for you — so you can truly relax.

✨Travel Protection
Agents offer trip insurance options and help you understand cancellation policies, so you’re covered if things change.

✨Problem Solvers
If your flight gets canceled or your hotel isn’t what you expected, your travel agent is your advocate — not a chatbot.

✨Insider Knowledge
Agents know the best times to travel, hidden gems to explore, and what to skip — saving you money and headaches.

✨Group Travel Made Easy
Coordinating family reunions, destination weddings, or group cruises? Your agent handles all the logistics and payments.

✨Support Local Business
Many travel agents are small business owners — so booking through them supports your local economy, not a giant corporation.

🛳️🩵 Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay, is one of our very favorite ports! It has TONS of activities for all ages, including several beach locations (with snorkeling, basketball, beach volleyball and tennis), 🏖️ the Oasis Lagoon (the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean), splash area and water slides for the kids, Thrill Waterpark, and the Zip line! The island also offers many complimentary food options 🍔🌮🍦 (famous chicken sandwich and ice cream included) and your drink package works at Coco Cay! 🍹
It truly is a perfect day when you are there! 🛳️🩵
