Amy and I are so excited to finally share something we’ve been working on behind the scenes for months. Many of you know that over the past couple of years, we’ve fallen completely in love with Royal Caribbean. Between their incredible ships, unique itineraries, and experiences that bring family and friends together, it’s quickly become a second home for us on the water.
Now, we can’t wait to bring that love to you – our DVC Fan Community – in a way that celebrates everything we’ve built together. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the Inaugural Keyholder Vacations Group Cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s brand-new Utopia of the Seas!
From July 20–24, 2026, we’ll be sailing out of Port Canaveral for four unforgettable nights filled with exclusive events, special perks, and time together as a community. This is more than just a sailing – it’s the beginning of a new tradition designed to enhance the Keyholder Vacations family and create lasting memories together.
