Why August Cruises Are a No-Go

Thinking about booking a cruise in August? Cruise insiders say it’s the worst time to set sail—especially in the Caribbean. Not only is it peak hurricane season (hello, canceled ports and rough seas), but ships are packed with families squeezing in last-minute vacations. That means crowded buffets, packed pools, and sweltering heat in every port. If you want smooth sailing and fewer crowds, aim for March instead! #Travel #CruiseTips #TravelSmart

Cruise Lovers, This Is a Game Changer

Ever get FOMO when your cruise ship leaves port too soon? Holland America Line just dropped new itineraries with overnight stays in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji—meaning you can actually soak up the local vibes instead of rushing back to the ship. Think: late-night Melbourne cafés, extra time at the Great Barrier Reef, and real-deal Fijian traditions. Slow travel is officially in, and I’m obsessed with this trend! Who’s in for a longer adventure? #Travel #CruiseLife #TravelGoals

Disney Water Park Shuts Down for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving at Disney World got wild—literally! With a surprise cold front, Typhoon Lagoon and Universal’s Volcano Bay both closed, pushing all the crowds into the other parks. Lightning Lane passes sold out, lines got longer, and people had to rethink their whole game plan. Even some classic rides like Big Thunder Mountain are still down. If you were there, would you brave the crowds or just grab a churro and people-watch? #Travel #DisneyWorld #Thanksgiving

This Train Ride Is Christmas Magic IRL

Ready for a holiday adventure that’s straight out of a movie? There’s a luxury train that takes you from Moab to Denver (or even Vegas to Denver!) with jaw-dropping views of canyons and the Colorado River—all from giant windows. Think chef-prepared meals, a stop in Glenwood Springs for hot springs and roller coasters, and serious cozy vibes. If you want to make Christmas unforgettable, this is the ticket. Would you do Christmas on a train? #Travel #HolidayTravel #TrainAdventure

Des Moines flights halted after icy runway scare

A Delta flight slid off the runway at Des Moines International last night, forcing the airport to shut down all flights until further notice. Thankfully, everyone on board is safe, but the incident highlights just how quickly winter weather can disrupt travel plans here. Only one runway was open during the snowstorm, and now crews are working around the clock to clear things up. Have you ever been stranded at the airport because of weather? How do you think the city should handle these icy conditions moving forward? #News #DesMoines #Travel

Would You Do a 3-Day Cruise?

Carnival’s new 3-day cruises to Celebration Key are stirring up debate! Some say it’s the perfect intro for first-timers or a quick escape if you live near the port. Others insist anything less than a week just isn’t enough time to soak it all in. One cruiser even said 14 days is the sweet spot! Would you hop on a short cruise, or do you need more time at sea? #Travel #CarnivalCruise #TravelDebate

Vegas airport empties as prices soar

Seeing fewer crowds at Harry Reid International? It’s not your imagination—Las Vegas is feeling the sting as travelers skip town over sky-high prices. October saw nearly 9% fewer passengers, and budget flights like Spirit have plummeted by over 60%. Even the MGM CEO admitted, “Shame on us,” after guests balked at $26 water bottles and $12 coffees. Canadians, once a reliable Vegas crowd, are staying away in droves. With international visitors down and locals grumbling about parking and resort fees, it’s clear: Vegas needs to rethink its value. Have you changed your Vegas plans lately? #News #LasVegas #Travel
