5 unexpected splurges that you never knew you wanted at Walt Disney World!

We booked over two years before our cruise day. Shannon stayed with us every step of the way. Our vacation has been everything we could have imagined because of her. We enjoy talking with her person to person and she is full of knowledge regarding our stay and every aspect of our trip. She helped us immensely and I could not imagine working with anyone else. You’re stuck with us now!

Another successful Sandals vacation with Amy’s help everything went smoothly from beginning to end. I highly recommend using Amy as your TA. Thanks Amy ! Til our next Sandals vacation

Devin was absolutely amazing in helping us book our Hawaii cruise. She truly made the entire process feel easy and stress-free (which is saying a lot when planning a big trip). She handled all the details with care and kept everything running smoothly from start to finish.

She worked closely with me throughout the process, answering my many questions and making sure I felt confident in every decision. She explained all the little details, shared helpful tips, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Because of her, I didn’t have to stress about the logistics—I could actually relax and enjoy the trip alongside my family.

What really sets Devin apart, though, is how much she genuinely cares. When my stepdad got sick during the trip, she went above and beyond to support my mom through a really difficult situation. Even though there wasn’t anything that could ultimately be done, Devin was there—checking in, offering guidance, and just being a steady, compassionate presence when we needed it most.

I can’t recommend her enough. She’s not just great at what she does—she’s the kind of person you want in your corner when it really matters.

We recently took a trip to Aulani with a stop in DisneyLand along the way. The trip was complicated and included a lot of pieces, but Emily made it effortless for us and we were able to go and enjoy every minute. From helping us navigate tours to making sure we wouldn’t go hungry, the trip was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. We couldn’t do it without Emily!

Usually we book a suite on a Royal ship with Shannon Schwartz’s help but this spring we tried Yacht Vlub on the new MSC World America. Shannon booked a duplex suite which is about the same size and configuration as a Crown Loft Suite. I will say MSC balconies seem a bit smaller than Royal. But their pull out couches are much more comfortable than Royal. The service in YC was spectacular. The Butler we had was great and the Junior Butler who acts as the Room Steward was also great. Servers in the YC restaurant are amazing as well and learn your preferences quickly. They spoil kids in YC with staff that actually fawn over kids. My 9 year old grandson loved the water slides especially the Virtual Reality water slide. He loved the Jaw Drop Dry Slide and the Ropes Course. They have 2 arcade areas which were a hit. Kids Club not so much and unlike Adventure Ocean which he loved he was not a fan of MSC Kids Club. I think perhaps the staff struggles a bit because there are so many kids from all over the world on this ship. I would say about 25 % or less were US or Canadians on our sailing 4/28. The YC White Party was a blast. The larger ship Wide White Party was a bust because it rained so was brought indoors and space too small. The YC pool deck is wonderful but the main pool decks are very crowded on Sea Days. We never went to the main dining room or regular buffet because YC pool grill and restaurant were wonderful. We ate at two Specialty Restaurants …Tempanyaki and Jean Phillipe for morning breakfast crepes. You don’t need to eat anywhere outside the YC area as the food was fantastic with a rotating menu and standards like Filet Mignon and Salmon which you can order every day. MSC private island vs Coco Cay…..,we prefer Coco Cay but MSC is nice just much quieter. Would I sail again on MSC? Probably. Only thing holding me back is their intineries which are pretty repetitive.
