On this episode, I discuss our family vacation sailing on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas. This massive cruise ship holds 7500 passengers, but it honestly didn't feel crowded. We cruised the Western Caribbean with stops in Costa Maya, Roatan, and Cozumel. Our favorite stop was the private island, CocoCay. Listen to hear about our thoughts aboard this amazing ship!

On this episode, I discuss our upcoming cruise on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, which is the largest cruise ship in the world. This ship can hold almost 10,000 guests and crew members. We are flying into Miami and spending a couple of days in the Florida Keys before heading on a Western Caribbean sailing. We have port stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, Roatan, and Perfect Day at CocoCay. We are excited and a little apprehensive to sail on such a large ship, so tune into our trip report when we return for my thoughts on Icon of the Seas.

In this episode, I discuss my recent trip to Universal Orlando Resort for my agency meeting with Fantastical Vacations. I had the best time meeting up with other agents and touring resorts. I drove by EPIC Universe which is opening on May 22 and am very excited for this new park to open. I spent some time at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. I stayed at Cabana Bay in a standard room and a family suite that sleeps 6. I then spent some time at Walt Disney World. I stayed at Coronado Springs and was very impressed by this resort. There were great food options and I really loved my room in the Casitas section. I spent some time at Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and the Magic Kingdom. I did the Keys to the Kingdom Tour and the After Hours at the Magic Kingdom and loved both of these! It was a busy week but I had the best time!
