Heads up for anyone with Disney clients. Starting Thursday, Oct 22, Palo drops the prix-fixe menu fleetwide and goes à la carte only. Platinum and Pearl members used to get a free prix-fixe dinner. Now they get a $55 per person credit, dinner only, and anything over that is on them. Not a huge deal, but it’s the kind of thing that turns into “nobody told me” at the table. Question: when a perk changes after a client books, do you reach out before they sail, or wait for them to ask?

Hurricane Trudy just ran up the coast past Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta. Ports closed, beaches closed, airlines offering changes. It’s the third major storm on that coast in about a month. Puerto Vallarta is one of the easiest sells we have, especially for first-timers and 50+ travelers. So I’m rethinking how I set expectations. Question for the group: when a client books Pacific Mexico for late summer or fall, what do you tell them up front? Insurance timing, cancel-for-any-reason, or steering them to other months? Curious how you all handle it.

Please feel free to grab this news, personalize it, and roll with it on your own socials! St. Croix is getting a nonstop Newark flight just in time for winter. United’s new Saturday service between Newark and St. Croix is scheduled to begin October 31, 2026. For couples willing to depart from Newark, that adds another Caribbean option without a connecting flight. One fewer connection can make a meaningful difference when you are trying to keep vacation travel straightforward. This route was announced earlier this year. The timely part is that its launch is now less than two weeks away. Would you like a winter trip with time to explore the island, or would you rather settle into one resort? That is where I would start before comparing accommodations. Message me if St. Croix belongs on your winter shortlist.
