I'm going to Secrets All Inclusive in Cabo this August to celebrate milestone birthdays for my daughters and myself (50, 21, and 18).
Another did you know???
Secrets Resorts & Spas are part of Hyatt's Inclusive Collection, which means that while they are not owned by Hyatt, they are affiliated with it and can be booked through Hyatt's loyalty program. That's a great way to save you money if you've been banking those reward points.

Did you know???
Norwegian Cruise Line has a CruiseFirst promotion that allows first-time or returning cruisers to prepay for credits and receive double the value toward a future cruise.
The CruiseFirst program lets you purchase credits that can be applied to a future Norwegian cruise. Typically, you pay $150 for a $300 credit, or during special promotions, $250 for a $500 credit.
These credits can be used as a deposit or partial payment for cruises of 3 or more days, depending on the promotion.
You do not need to have cruised with NCL before to participate.

Comparing Carnival to Disney is like comparing Walmart to Target. I like both! I shop at both! So do NOT get offended by this comparison. This is purely opinion. I WILL book both LOL! I talked to a client yesterday who has always been a Carnival cruiser but recently took a Disney cruise. This is basically her comparison.
Disney cruises are more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Disney’s higher pricing reflects its all-inclusive offerings, including nonalcoholic beverages, entertainment, and immersive experiences, while Carnival’s lower base fares may incur additional costs for drinks, specialty dining, and certain activities. Say Carnival costs you $2k for a family of 4 to go on a cruise, but you have to pay for your soda package, room service, upgrades at the beach service, shrimp, crabs, and ribeyes on the menu, etc. Disney may cost you double the amount, but everything is included at that price and there's no additional fees added per item, so you end up paying the same price at the end of the day.
Disney cabins provide more family-friendly layout features, including room-dividing curtains and split baths, while Carnival offers more cabin types that can sleep five.
Carnival allows children as young as 2 in Camp Ocean, while Disney’s general club activities start at 3 and its nursery accepts babies from 6 months to 3 years.
So look at the comparison below, choose how you wanna cruise, and let me know when you're ready to book!

Just a little note. I’ve had a couple clients who asked for quotes from me ask why do I screenshot instead of send you links? Other travel agents use platforms like vax, etc that give them access to send you links….these links come at a higher price though. I continue to abide by my motto “travel & save” so I use a lower end platform that does not provide links. I have asked my business development manager multiple times why don’t you provide links? I’m just as frustrated by this as you are. Don’t let that stray you away from booking with me though. You can ask me to look into it and I can find links for the hotels, airbnbs, etc so that you can see them in detail. It takes time and effort to do this. I WILL do it if requested and do NOT mind. Certain clients know what they want though from screenshots and don’t require the links which is great because it saves me time and energy. If you DO want more info though, just ask. I can be as accommodating to your needs as you need me to be. And remember I am trying to do this on lower cost platforms to keep your cost as low as possible. 😉
