😂 **CONFESSIONS OF A TRAVEL ADVISOR!** ✈️

Yes, I look at vacations all day.

Yes, I get excited when I find the perfect trip for someone.

And YES, every time I plan somebody else's vacation, I add another destination to my own bucket list! 🤣

One of the best parts of being a travel advisor is helping people make memories they'll talk about for years.

And I get to dream right along with them!

🚢❤️ **WOULD I SAIL VIRGIN VOYAGES AGAIN? ABSOLUTELY!!!**

I'm back from my first Virgin Voyages cruise aboard the Valiant Lady, and I have lots to share!

What did I love?

🚢 A smaller, adults-only ship
🛏️ Our balcony hammock and some really cool stateroom features
🎭 Excellent entertainment and service
🍕 Fresh, made-to-order pizza and casual dining
🍦 Coconut Rum ice cream!!!
🍹 Relaxing at The Dock, watching the ship's wake
❤️ And most of all, the relaxed, NO-JUDGMENT atmosphere!

Scarlet Night in red sequins? Perfect! Jeans and a red T-shirt? That's fine too!

Was everything perfect? Nope! I had a few disappointing dining experiences, but the positives definitely outweighed the negatives.

**Bottom line? I would sail Virgin Voyages again without hesitation!**

As a travel advisor, I love experiencing different cruise lines so I can help my clients find the vacation that's right for them.

Stay tuned for my full review on my website!

🌊🚢 WELL, THIS IS AN ADVENTURE!!! 😂

Mother Nature has decided to add a little excitement to our Virgin Voyage!

Ahoy from Bermuda! 🚢☘️💚💛
I may be cruising the seas today, but my heart is back in Yonkers with everyone participating in Sacred Heart High School’s Hearts in Motion Walk-A-Thon!
I wish I could be there walking with you, but I'm cheering you on from the ship! 🚢
Thank you to everyone who supported my fundraising efforts. Your generosity means so much!

🚢❤️ ONE MORE SLEEP!!! ❤️🚢

Tomorrow I’m trying something NEW!

I’m heading to Brooklyn to board Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady for my very first Virgin Voyages cruise! 🎉

New cruise line for me.
New port for me.
And a whole new experience to check out — not just as a traveler, but as a travel advisor! ✈️🌴

One of the best parts of my job is experiencing destinations, resorts and cruise lines firsthand so I can better help my clients decide what is right for THEM.

And you know I’ll be taking you along for the ride! 📸🚢

Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing a video as I board Valiant Lady in Brooklyn.

Bags are almost packed…excitement level is HIGH…

ONE MORE SLEEP!!! 🎉⚓️❤️

✈️🌴 TRAVEL TIP TUESDAY! 🌴✈️

🚢 CRUISING SOON? DON’T PUT THESE IN YOUR CHECKED LUGGAGE!
When you board a cruise, your checked luggage may not arrive at your cabin until later in the day. Pack your carry-on with everything you’ll want for those first few hours!
🛂 Passport/ID & cruise documents
💊 Medications
📱 Phone & charger
💳 Credit cards/cash
🕶️ Sunglasses & sunscreen
🩱 Swimsuit
👕 A change of clothes
🪥 A few basic toiletries
📸 Anything you want handy for those first-day photos!
💡 BONUS TIP: Pack your carry-on as if you won’t see your checked suitcase until dinner. That way you can start enjoying the ship the minute you step onboard!
And I’ll be putting this tip to use myself TOMORROW! 🚢🎉
I’m heading out on my first Virgin Voyages cruise aboard Valiant Lady — and my first cruise sailing out of Brooklyn!
Stay tuned…I’ll be taking you along with me! ❤️⚓️

🚢✨ I'M TRYING SOMETHING NEW!

In just TWO DAYS, I’ll be heading out on my very first Virgin Voyages cruise! ❤️

And there’s another first…

🗽 I’ll also be sailing for the first time from the Brooklyn cruise terminal!

One of the best parts of being a travel advisor is experiencing different cruise lines, ships and destinations firsthand—so when my clients ask me questions, I can answer from experience, not just a brochure.

I’ll be taking you along with me and sharing what I discover!

Virgin Voyages has a reputation for doing cruising a little differently, and I’m VERY curious to see what I think. 😏🚢

Have you sailed Virgin Voyages? What do I absolutely HAVE to try?
