Travel Stories: Monthly Recap-July


My name is Adriana Da Silva, I am a Travel Advisor in Longwood, Florida.  I write travel reviews to help my clients plan the best vacation getaways.  I focus on Popular Resorts, Cruise Companies and Tropical Vacations that remain top adult picks for the money.  In July you will find a lot of traveling tips to help your cruising, travel, and shore excursions stay safe and more enjoyable.  

Tropical Vacations


St. Lucia- is primarily comprised of 'All-Inclusive Resorts' catering to your every need.  With St. Lucia's rain forests, botanical gardens, abundance of rare birds, volcanic super heated mud baths, 'All-Inclusive St. Lucia' can be compared with Hawaii.  Think of a Honey Moon in St. Lucia as the perfect romantic getaway for couples and wellness retreat but only thousands of miles closer than Hawaii for east coast residents.  (read full story)


Cruise Lines


MSC Cruises- offers something for everyone aboard it's epic ships from dozens of pools, bars and restaurants to even bowling alleys.  With it's inexpensive pricing and mega-ships,  MSC Seaside and MSC Seashore, this cruise company is trying to steal business from Carnival, Royal Caribbean and even Disney.   But MSC ships are not cheap thrills, these are Engineering Marvels, and MSC is committed to sustainable tourism and protecting our oceans.  (read full story)
