Heads Up: Carnival's Sneaky Fee Hike!

If you’re planning a Carnival cruise, keep an eye on those drink and dining tabs! Carnival just bumped its service fee from 18% to 20% on extras like drink packages, specialty dinners, and in-room gifts. It may sound small, but for a family celebrating onboard, those extra dollars add up fast. Pro tip: Double-check your onboard spending and look for bundle deals or bring your own treats to save some cash! #Business #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips

Visiting Boston as a Tourist Made Me Understand What ‘Local Gatekeeping’ Feels Like

Boston is historic, impressive, and proud — very proud. I didn’t expect that pride to show up as hostility. In a café near Beacon Hill, the barista asked where I was from. When I said California, she smirked and said, “Oh, so you’re here to ruin our city too?” Later, a guy at a bar lectured me about “tourists driving up rent” as if I personally caused the housing crisis. Boston locals love their city, but some act like visitors don’t deserve to be there unless we pass a quiz on colonial history and Red Sox stats. Travel is supposed to open doors, not make you feel like you’re trespassing on someone’s identity. #Travel #Boston #TouristLife

London’s most magical hotel Christmas trees

London’s hotels are outdoing themselves this year with Christmas trees that are more than just decorations—they’re full-on experiences! From The Connaught’s glowing, AI-inspired tribute to community, to The London EDITION’s gingerbread fantasy (yes, you can eat some of it!), and Pan Pacific’s jaw-dropping 67ft tree with 65,000 lights, each display has its own wow factor. Whether you’re into fashion, food, art, or pure sparkle, there’s a tree that’ll make you stop and stare. Which hotel’s festive creation would you visit first, and what makes a Christmas tree truly unforgettable for you? #News #LondonChristmas #HotelTrees

No More Bag Drama at AA Gates!

American Airlines just ditched those annoying carry-on bag sizers at the gate! Now, instead of squeezing your bag into a metal box while everyone watches, gate agents will just eyeball it. The size rules haven’t changed (22 x 14 x 9 inches), but there’s a little more wiggle room and a lot less stress. You still can’t sneak on a giant suitcase, but this should make holiday travel way less awkward! #News #AmericanAirlines #TravelHacks

Europe’s Sleeper Bus Feels Like First Class

Just tried Europe’s new ‘business-class’ sleeper bus from Amsterdam to Zurich and wow—think flat beds, plush blankets, and even a changing room. You literally fall asleep in one country and wake up in another, all while being way more eco-friendly than flying. The vibe? Super chill (no kids under 5, free coffee, and WiFi), and you get to skip airport chaos. Not the cheapest, but the comfort and novelty are next level. Would you try this over a night train or flight? #Transportation #TravelGoals #SustainableTravel

Miami’s beaches feel less like paradise, more like a fight for space

I used to love Miami for its wild freedom. But this summer, it felt different. Too many influencers, too many rules, too many people arguing over what’s “appropriate” to wear or film. I saw a woman in a bikini get yelled at by a mother for being “disrespectful.” Isn’t this Miami? The place that once celebrated openness now feels policed by everyone with a phone. Tourism has turned into moral warfare. #Travel #CultureClash

This Florida island feels like the Caribbean

Imagine stepping off a quick boat ride from Key West and landing on an island where the water is crystal-clear, the sand is powdery white, and every detail is pure luxury. Sunset Key, once a Cold War Navy site, is now a private resort paradise—think spa days, private cottages, and sunset dinners at Latitudes. It’s a true escape, but still close enough to Key West’s action. The best part? No passport needed. Would you pick this hidden gem for your next getaway, or do you prefer the buzz of the mainland? Let’s hear your dream vacation style! #Travel #FloridaKeys #TravelGoals

Southwest’s New Plus-Size Policy Drama

Southwest is shaking things up for plus-size travelers starting January 2026. No more easy refunds for extra seats unless there’s an empty one on your flight, and you have to jump through a few hoops to get your money back. People are sounding off—some say it’s fair, others are worried about shrinking seat sizes and losing the extra space they paid for. Would you pay double just to sit comfortably? #News #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews
