My Journey to Becoming a Travel Agent | Tracey Evans Travels

Is Alaska sitting near the top of your travel list Is Alaska sitting near the top of your travel list for 2027? If so, here is a quick insider tip: now is actually the time to start planning!

Because Alaska has a short, highly coveted sailing season (running primarily from May through September), availability fills up much faster than almost any other cruise destination.
Here is why booking early for Alaska is so critical:

🚂 Land & Sea Packages Sell Out First: If you want to combine a cruise with a wilderness lodge stay or the rail journey, those land-and-sea itineraries have extremely limited space and go quickly.

🏔️ The Best Views Go Fast: Balcony cabins and aft-facing suites—where you can take in the glaciers from the comfort of your room—are always the first room categories to sell out.

💵 Best Pricing & Promotion Locking: Cruise lines reward early planners with the best tier pricing, lower deposits, and peak promotional perks.

Whether you want a classic ocean voyage, a scenic train trek through the interior, or a seamless land-and-sea combo, locking in your 2027 Alaska adventure early ensures you get the exact dates, route, and room you want.

Stepping into Geo 82 at EPCOT was a treat for all Stepping into Geo 82 at EPCOT was a treat for all the senses. 

This 21-and-over lounge offers a sophisticated, relaxing escape right in the heart of the park. From the moment we were welcomed with a refreshing cool towel, the expert service set the tone for an amazing experience.

I loved with all the nods to EPCOT's iconic geosphere woven throughout. The views are beautiful, the craft cocktails, tastings and small bites are expertly designed. 

I enjoyed the off-menu Banana Bread Espresso Martini almost as much as I loved the beautiful space.

We enjoyed the 30th Anniversary of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival running from August 27 through November 21, 2026.

Each booth offers small culinary plates paired with wines, craft beers, or signature cocktails so you can taste your way around World Showcase.  You can see we favor the craft beer but you can festival any way you like! 

My personal festival favorites? 

Belgium: Brouwerij Verhaeghe Duchesse Red Sweet & Tart Cherry Ale 

Gyozays of the Galaxy: Street Corn-style Dumplings

After an incredible sailing on the Celebrity Reflection, we hopped off in Fort Lauderdale and stepped straight onto the Brightline to keep the vacation going in Orlando! Combining a cruise with a land stay is one of my absolute favorite ways to travel.

Have you ever extended your cruise vacation like this?

When choosing a balcony cabin, the little layout details make a huge difference in your daily routine. My favorite highlights from this Deluxe Verandah setup:

No Bathroom Bottlenecks: The closet is positioned away from the bathroom door, giving you plenty of room to get dressed without crowding the entryway.

Room to Breathe: A couch and table sitting area make the cabin feel like a mini-suite.

Next-Level Lounging: Real reclining chairs on the veranda so you can actually kick back and relax while sailing.

It’s kind of chic to use a travel advisor… and It’s kind of chic to use a travel advisor… and here’s why. ✨🥂

Booking a vacation online yourself gets you a confirmation code. Working with me gets you a completely elevated experience.

Here are 3 things I do for my clients that booking direct never will:

1️⃣ Direct Resort & Concierge Access: I contact the resort manager and concierge prior to your arrival to ensure your room preferences, special celebrations, and requests are front and center.

2️⃣ Budget & Cost Planning: I provide monthly balance statements so you can comfortably manage and track your investment leading up to your trip.

3️⃣ Hold Time & Stress Elimination: I sit on hold to troubleshoot, handle changes, or get your questions answered—saving you hours of time and major headaches.
