Countdown Travels

The cruise industry gives Texas some love and is bringing some huge amazing ships. Royal Caribbean invests millions in a new cruise terminal in Galveston and I share all about what it takes to take a cruise from Galveston, Texas. I also share where I've been since November 2022 and the exciting places and cruises I will be experiencing soon.

My guest speaker on this episode is with my friend and Strategic Account Manager, Kathy Killen from Royal Caribbean. She shares all the amazing details about Royal Caribbean's newest ship, the Icon of the Seas. Come listen to us chat about some of the fantastic and jaw-dropping details the Icon will have and a new change that will be coming to Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Listen to the end when Kathy will be sharing an unbelievable promotion that is agency exclusive and runs from 11/4/2022 through 11/17/2022.
