Highly recommend cruising the Southern Caribbean aboard the Norwegian Viva! We traveled with a group of 20 and visited Punta Cana, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Curaçao, and Aruba—all in one seamless itinerary. ✔️ Ship highlights: Modern design, amazing balcony staterooms, and tons of spots to gather with friends. 🍽️ Food favorites: Cagney’s filet, Onda’s pizza, Indulge Food Hall variety, and late-night snacks at The Local. 🎉 Don't miss: Theme nights, sunset drinks at Penrose Bar, and dinner with a view at Hudson’s. 🏝️ Top excursions: Boat day in St. Lucia (Louis Boat Tours), Carambola Beach Club in St. Kitts, swimming with turtles in Curaçao. Whether you're sailing solo, as a couple, or with a crew—this ship offers the perfect blend of fun, food, and Caribbean charm.

My stay at Le Méridien Panama was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us by name, making us feel incredibly welcome. We were upgraded to a King Bed, Ocean View, Platinum Suite, and the room was both beautiful and comfortable. We mentioned it was our anniversary, and they surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a delicious cake. The entire experience was memorable, and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxurious and personalized stay!

We wrapped up our Panama trip with two nights at The Westin Playa Bonita—and it was the perfect way to relax. Just a short drive from Panama City, this oceanfront resort offers beautiful pools, a tranquil beach (best enjoyed at high tide!), and great food and drinks. We were upgraded to a Renewal Suite with an ocean-view balcony, enjoyed the breakfast buffet and steakhouse, and loved our deep tissue massage at the spa. Don't miss the Tidal swim-up bar or nightcaps at Oasis Lounge. A luxurious, affordable stay that we can’t wait to repeat!

We loved our stay at The Reach Key West—one of the few resorts on the island with true beach access (a major win in Key West!). The location is perfect: walkable to Duval Street but tucked away enough to feel peaceful. The amenities made it easy to relax without ever leaving the property: ✅ Private beach with loungers and umbrellas ✅ Oceanview rooms with balconies ✅ On-site restaurant + great happy hour ✅ Pool, hammocks, and water sport rentals ✅ Cozy fire pits and live music in the evenings It’s the ideal spot for a laid-back but elevated island escape. Highly recommend! 🌴☀️
