Come Sail with Danielle

 
Sailing 3-6 APRIL 2026
 

 

 

The Ocean is Calling — Let's Answer! Sail Away With Me!  

I’ve never been on a cruise, and now I'm hosting one!  Ain't life funny!? 

From April 3–6, 2026, I’ll be sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, for 4 days and 3 nights in the Caribbean! 

I’d be so psyched if YOU joined me because I’m convinced this is about to be the most epic thing ever, and the most EPIC thing ever must be shared with good people!

Why EPIC? This cruiseship is colossal - designed with onboard neighborhoods - a floating city with endless food, entertainment, shops, and more places to nap than I even knew I needed.  

AND, let me be clear:  there will be no “mandatory fun”, trust falls, or scheduled meetings. It’s freedom: you, the sea, and however you want to spend your days and with whom - feel free to hide at the buffet, sunbathe like a lizard, attend back-to-back shows, or nap in a deck chair until someone wakes you for dinner.  The best!   

Seriously, though. Beyond the humor and cruise clichés, here’s why I want you to consider this: the ocean does something to the spirit, I'm sure you'll agree.  It stretches your vision, clears the fog, and fills you with new breath!  I want to come back not just rested, but energized, with sharper clarity and fresh dreams for the next season — and I’d love for you to have that experience, too.

Feel free to bring your curated group of besties or favorite in-laws! 

Lock it in:  To reserve your spot and lock in the rate, please make your $200 deposit (non-refundable) by October 31, 2025. Upon reservation, payment plans are available to spread the joy (and cost) out over time!   

BONUS: There’s a current promotion to win a free cruise — but it ends September 30. Details here.

First-time cruiser (like me)? Here’s a handy guide.
