Want a quick getaway without burning a week of PTO? 🛳️

I just got back from 3 nights on the Norwegian Getaway: Miami → Nassau → Great Stirrup Cay. Here’s what a short Bahamas cruise really looks like:

✔️ Welcome bubbly and chocolate strawberries in the stateroom
✔️ Shows, comedy, and live music every night
✔️ Teppanyaki dinner show
✔️ A day at Great Stirrup Cay’s Great Life Lagoon 🌴

Perfect for a first cruise, a couples’ weekend, or a family trial run before a longer sailing.

Come tour Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort with me 🌺🌴

This place has one of the best tropical vibes at Walt Disney World. Some of my favorite things:
🛶 Boardwalks along the Seven Seas Lagoon
🌿 Giant banyan trees and lush landscaping everywhere
♟️ Lawn chess by the classic longhouses
💦 Cove Pool and hidden waterfalls
🏝️ Island Tower, the newest addition, with a lobby full of art (look for Tamatoa in the bronze mural 🦀)
🏖️ A white sand beach with hammocks and views of the Grand Floridian

It’s also right on the monorail loop, and you can walk to the Transportation & Ticket Center, so getting to Magic Kingdom is easy.
