Travel with Trina

Let’s talk size!! ☺️ of cruise ships!! 🚢

Does the size of the ship play a part when you’re deciding on your next cruise? So you prefer smaller more intimate ships? Mid sized ships? Or do you go all out and opt for the largest passenger ship in the world?

For me, there’s a few factors. If I’m going small with limited amenities it’s because the itinerary is spectacular! Mid sized, which is most ships, probably offers sailings to the Caribbean and Bahamas and offers an array of onboard activities and finally, there are mega ships, namely Icon of the Seas. Girl got a big aft but is also absolutely stunning and offers so many activities that the ship IS the destination! So tell me, is the size of the ship a factor for you?

This is your PSA to contact me to get those trip requests in! ✈️ 🚢 🌴

My guests are absolutely loving their first day in Dublin!! I can’t wait to see their gorgeous pictures from the rest of the week as they explore Ireland! 🇮🇪

My beautiful sister and brother in law enjoying Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, Utopia of the Seas!!! What better way to end summer than enjoying a getaway with your significant other?! She said they’re having an absolute blast and loving this gorgeous and fun ship!!

I’m so bummed that we had to cancel last minute but we will be hosting a cruise in 2025, so stay tuned for more details! 🚢

Let’s talk groups!! I had the absolute pleasure of planning a group cruise for the lovely folks over at National Imperial Miss earlier this year and guess what?! They enjoyed it so much that they’ve planned another one for March on Utopia of the Seas!! They’re going on a brand new ship, saving several hundred dollars versus booking direct and I’m here to assist every step of the way! Are you ready to plan your group trip?

How fun are these pictures?!? This family just enjoyed their first cruise 🚢 on Royal Caribbean but not their last!! They’re sailing again in September AND October!! Are you ready to book your cruise?

It’s foodie Friday!! If you’ve been following me for long then you know FOOD is my second favorite “F” word. The first is FUN geez 😂

Let’s talk about some of the best food you’ve had while traveling! I love trying new things and having “local” favorites so while we were in Colorado I absolutely had to try the pork chile verde and good gosh, I was hooked! I could literally eat my weight in it and probably did 😋 See those smiles on our faces? Those had nothing to do with the fantastic weather and gorgeous scenery, those were from the pork chile verde 😂 it is delicious and an absolute must when visiting Colorado! Tell me something delicious you’ve tried while traveling. 🥘 😋

Ahhhh I just love seeing my guests enjoying their trip!!! This sweet family booked their cruise to Alaska a year ago and it’s finally happening!! They are loving the gorgeous views and I don’t blame them! 😍 I can’t wait to hear more about it when they get home! 🚢 ✈️ 🏔️

Alaska!! I have 3 families cruising to this amazing destination later this week and I couldn’t be more excited for them! 🚢 It’s been a few years since I took an Alaskan cruise but it was truly spectacular and probably my favorite cruise to date! Glaciers, dog sledding, whales and views for DAYS! What’s not to love?! Are you ready for your Alaskan cruise?

Let’s talk drink packages on Royal Caribbean!!

I’m asked all the time if the package is “worth” it. Honestly that isn’t something I can answer for you but I can tell you how it worked out for us. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the price for our Icon cruise and was adamant we shouldn’t get it but as I started seeing prices of drinks on the ship, I came around 😂 in doing a little math we determined we would spend way more if we paid as we went because the package includes specialty coffees, bottled water, soda, fresh squeezed juice, Red Bull, wine, beer and cocktails.

Also, I was free to try any drink my heart desired and if I didn’t like it, I didn’t feel bad about not drinking it. So, is the beverage package “worth” it? For us, absolutely!! 🥂

May the Fourth be with you, always! Happy Star Wars Day!

I can never take a picture before our things are all over the room 😂

Deck 10 ocean view balcony on Allure of the Seas

Here we go again!! 🚢 😂

We boarded Allure of the Seas today for a short 4 night cruise to Nassau! Did you know Allure was the largest cruise ship in the world when she launched in 2009 and held the title until 2015?! She feels a bit on the smaller side having just sailed Icon a few weeks ago but she’s definitely larger than most ships I’ve sailed. Looking forward to enjoying all she has to offer this week!!

I feel seen 😂 anyone else this way? Just me? 🤣
