This is a reference guide for the best Facebook travel groups.
Even before I started blogging, Facebook travel groups were a great source of information for my travels. Over time, some have stood out to me more than others either because they were extremely helpful or they have a strong community feel. If you haven’t had a chance to deep dive into Facebook travel groups or you aren’t sure which are the best, I’ve got you covered! I am an active member in all of the Facebook travel groups listed here and absolutely love them. So without further adieu, here are the best Facebook travel groups.
What Are Facebook Travel Groups
Why join facebook travel groups, solo mom travel, 9 to 5 travel, wandering moms, black kids do travel, moms (girls love travel), tiny globetrotters: travel the world with kids, girls love travel, curvy girls travel guide, black travel movement, african american travelers, black world travelers, road to 100 countries, award travel 101.
A Facebook travel group is a group on Facebook that is dedicated to all things travel. Some of them use special niches like family travel, travel to a specific region, travel for specific genders, etc. Regardless of their niche, you’ll find a group of people all interested in that particular topic.
The goal of these Facebook travel groups is to provide information that other travelers might find helpful. Think of them as an easy [and free] way to crowdsource information for your trip.
I love Facebook travel groups because if you find the right one, the members can usually provide a level of insight you wouldn’t find through a general Google search. For example, I shared my post about things to do in Orlando besides theme parks in one of my favorite Facebook travel groups. A local responded with an attraction I hadn’t heard of which I was able to add to the list.
Also, on a personal level, sometimes it is just nice to commiserate with other people attempting this travel life too. Missed your connecting flight? Came down with massive diarrhea at the tail end of your trip? Lost your passport in the deserts of Morroco? Chances are someone else in a Facebook travel group has experienced the same thing. They can offer their support and usually provide resolutions that worked for them.
Best Facebook Travel Groups for Solo Moms
Whether you’re a single mom or just a mom that travels solo with your kids, Solo Mom Travel is the Facebook travel group for you. Participants crowdsource everything from trip ideas to travel tips. Connect with other like-minded solo moms in this wonderful group.
Best Facebook Travel Groups for Families
![family travel facebook Facebook Travel Groups - 9 to 5 Travel](https://www.thespringbreakfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/9-to-5-Family-Travel-Group-Facebook-Cover-300x157.png)
I couldn’t write this post about Facebook travel groups without including our own. 9 to 5 Family Travel group is dedicated to the average working family that wants to balance their careers and traveling with their children. We share everything from school calendars to budget to tips/tricks to maximize your PTO.
Wandering Moms is hands down one of my favorite Facebook travel groups. As the title suggests, the group is for moms that travel with their kids. If you are a fellow travel family, you can find most of what you need here: itineraries, tips, and advice. The owners of the groups also coordinate group travels [some with kids and some without] that you can sign up for.
Black Kids Do Travel is another one of my favorite Facebook travel groups. With over 22,000 members, this group is packed with helpful information and travel inspiration. It is run by the fabulous Karen Akpan of The Mom Trotter who regularly contributes helpful tips as well. This is a must join Facebook travel group.
This Facebook travel group is dedicated to moms that want to travel with their kids. This group is actually a subsidiary of Girls Love Travel, a large Facebook group designed for women that travel. It is heavily moderated with many group administrators. Posts can take some time to be approved and any topics deemed as unhelpful are denied. Comments are also moderated and removed if offensive or against group rules. The heavy overhead is helpful though because it guarantees an on-topic, clean, productive Facebook travel group.
Tiny Globetrotters is highly interactive and one of the best Facebook travel groups out there. What I like the most about this group is that the members are from all over the world. Many groups can be very centric on the United States but not this one! It is global so you really get a variety of posts, questions, and ideas.
Best Facebook Travel Group for Women
This Facebook travel group has over 1 million members but somehow manages to maintain a small community feeling. With that many members, it is heavily moderated out of necessity; posts can take days to approve and any threads that go awry are closed almost immediately. However, I’ve learned of new destinations, given and received help, and online connected with some awesome ladies in this group. Plus, they also plan group trips led by the group founder Haley Woods. This, by far, is one of the best Facebook travel groups on the web.
The Internet needs all the body positivity it can get – especially in the travel space. That’s why The Curvy Girls Travel Guide is one of my favorite Facebook travel groups. It provides a safe space for those that identify as women to connect and collaborate whether it be about plus-sized travel or just travel in general.
Best Facebook Travel Group for African-Americans
Despite some drama surrounding coordinated trips, Black Travel Movement remains one of my preferred Facebook travel groups. There are over 400,000 highly engaged people in the group and it stays busy with posts every day. The admins require that every post be informational so you are bound to learn a lot about travel in this group.
African American Travelers actually has roots as a travel planning company. Their customers asked them to expand into forming a real community so African American Travelers Facebook travel group was born. The group was created for folks to connect, share and inspire and it does just that.
There are many Facebook travel groups designated for African-American travelers. What makes Black World Travelers stand out is that they specifically state that they are “strictly for the classy Black professional traveler.” Photography, recent travel news, and more are shared here.
Best Misc Facebook Travel Group
Don’t want a specific niche? Just want to learn about all things travel regardless of your family status, gender, or race? Then Road to 100 Countries is the Facebook travel group for you! There’s a little bit of family travel, a little bit of solo travel, a little bit of award travel — there’s a little bit of everything.
![family travel facebook Facebook Travel Groups - Award Travel 101](https://www.thespringbreakfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/facebooktravelgroups_awardtravel101-300x157.jpg)
I’m the first to admit that I struggle with traveling on points [check here to see how we budget for our trips and here to see how we afford to travel ]. However, we’ve made big strides in accumulating miles and points and learning how to properly redeem them by being a member of Award Travel 101. This Facebook travel group is filled with gurus that will help you get the most out of your award travel.

37 fun family travel influencers to follow on Instagram
It’s estimated that there are some 1.074 billion (yes, billion ) Instagram users worldwide, with new accounts signing up daily. With so many Instagram accounts out there, how do you choose which ones to follow?
I love Instagram for travel inspiration, in particular for finding new destinations to discover with my own kids. So, putting together a list of some of my favourite family travel influencers on Instagram was an easy task. There are lots of travelling families out there who inspire, inform and uncover some of the coolest spots around the world. Some travel full time, others make the most of school holidays and there are a handful of families who have chosen to up sticks and live overseas.

80 Best Family Vacation Instagram Captions for Your Favorite Photos
posted by James Brockbank on December 9, 2021 // last updated on December 9, 2021
Social media has become incorporated into everyone’s lives. It is the sole way to let the world get a glimpse of the moments that fill your heart. With each photo and experience displayed, you let people into your life and let them experience it with you.
When you want to share your moments with the world, you spend some time to create a public moment everyone can indulge in. You crop the photo just right and add the perfect filter. Then comes the caption. You want something enticing, something interesting, something powerful.
So, when you have all the wonderful photos from your family vacation, you want to make sure you get it right. From lighthearted and funny captions to heartfelt words, here are some of the best original captions for Instagram to commemorate your family’s adventures.
Beachy Family Photos
Family road trip photos, snowy family photos, neutral family vacation captions, how to pick the best caption.
The beach is the number one vacation destination for families. The hot sun, salty water, and white sand make for a perfect family fun getaway. When you return, you want to share those moments with your followers (and maybe make them a bit jealous).
These original captions should help get the attention of your Insta followers while inspiring them to get out in the sun and have their own fun.
- “With the sun on our face and the sand between our toes, these memories with the family will last forever.”
- “The love our family shares only grows with every crashing wave.”
- “The sun, the sand, and your family by your side, make the best memories stay alive.”
- “Family is the cornerstone of every great beach vacation.”
- “As the kids build a sandcastle, and your husband surfs the waves, you appreciate the family you’ve made.”
- “Every moment spent together watching the waves makes you realize the most important thing in life are the memories you make with your family.”
- “The most remarkable thing about the beach is that amidst all the chaos your family creates, you’re still so calm and full of love.”
- “You’ll go home with a tan, an experience, and the best memories that were spent with your family.”
- “Teaching my kids the beauty of the water, sand, and sun and the beauty of our family being together.”
- “The beach is the most serene place to go; it is even better when you can enjoy it with the family you’ve built.”
- “I am hot, tired, and burnt, but my kids are happy.”
- “Life’s a beach, the kids are a mess, the family’s alive watching the sunset.”
- “Enjoying the sun, the surf, the sand, and the family together.”
- “The best beach activities involve sand, sun, and family.”
- “High tides, good vibes, and the family building memories.”
- “When we build a sandcastle with our kids, we build memories that will last a lifetime.”
- “You can live in bliss at the beach, watching the ocean, feeling the sand between your toes, and spending every moment with your family.”
- “What’s better than the beach? You and your family are making memories together.”
- “Bury my feet in the sand, a cold drink in my hand, my family by my side, I let my worries wash away with the tide.”
- “Happiness is the shore in your view, the sun on your skin, the sand on your feet, and your family enjoying it with you.”
Using emojis in your captions to make them stand out is also a creative way to add to your post. There is an array of different emojis you can use. Add in some “🌊🌅⛱” to break up longer captions and make them more engaging.
Family road trips can be the most exciting experience you share. Whether you’re a family of five or road tripping with your siblings, experiencing the open road is something everyone should do.
Of course, you want to capture the magic of the moments, whether you’re co-piloting or snapping pics during pit stops.
What better way to express your enjoyment than with a good Instagram picture and caption to match? Plus, road trips offer opportunities for unique captions that reflect your specific on or off-road adventures.
- “The key to a good road trip starts with your favorite snacks, great music, and your family by your side.”
- “Having your kids experience the open road is a remarkable feeling.”
- “The best road trips always need the chaos of the family to make it a memory never forgotten.”
- “The road least traveled is better with your family by your side.”
- “The radio blasting, the long open road, the kids laughing in the back seat, all make for the perfect road trip.”
- “The perfect road trip requires a full-blown karaoke show, with your kids as the backup singers.”
- “During a road trip, stopping on the side of the road to embrace nature and the family you made is the best feeling in the world.”
- “A road trip by yourself is fun; a road trip with your family is a beautiful experience.”
- “The open road, the beautiful scenery, and the family you created make for the best memories.”
- “I want my kids to experience the entire world and the love we have for one another.”
- “When you’re on the road with your family, and you look in the back seat, you realize this is all you ever needed.”
- Happiness is the open road and hearing your kids fighting over the music on the radio.”
- “With the wheel in my hand, the perfect song on the radio, and my husband by my side, we begin the journey of happily ever after.”
- “No road trip is long with your family making you laugh the entire time.”
- “The best part of a road trip isn’t arriving at your destination; it’s the memories you make with the people you created.”
- “Always take the scenic route; you won’t regret the memories you make with your family.”
- “All you need to make you happy is a good road trip and the people you love with you.”
- “The only trip I want to take is the trip with you on this open road.”
- “A road trip can have a bunch of bumps in the road but create the best memories.”
- “An adventure with your family is the best one you can have.”
Just remember to keep your eyes on the road while driving, and leave the Instagram posts to your co-pilot or backseat drivers.
Taking a family trip to the mountains or any ski resort can lead to some incredible moments captured. Catching dad making that ski jump or watching your kids build a snowman; every opportunity leads to a great memorable photo.
With those photos, you need perfect captions, and here are some of the best. Don’t forget a snowflake or snowman emoji, or even a pair of skis.
- “The best moments made are the ones made in the snow.”
- “A journey is best with family, snow, and a rosy nose.”
- “Our hands and cheeks are cold, but my heart is warm watching my family make the best memories.”
- “Cold feet, rosy cheeks, and a warm heart.”
- “Family can warm your soul in the coldest weather.”
- “Like snowflakes, we are all different, but we make a beautiful family.”
- “Snowy mountains, cold air, toasty fire, and family is all you need.”
- “What’s a winter vacation without a family snowball fight?”
- “Tis the season to build snowmen, have snowball fights, and warm your toes by the fire with your family.”
- “Snow falling down, the crackle of the fire, hot chocolate, and my family is all I need.”
- “Having a snowball fight with your kids makes you realize how mad they are that they couldn’t have that piece of candy.”
- “Watching your kids sled down a hill at top speed makes your anxiety high but your heart full.”
- “The season to be freezing comes with the laughs to warm you up.”
- “Cold hands, a warm heart, and the love of your kids are all you need.”
- “Making the best memories by throwing a snowball right at my husband’s face.”
- “When your vacation involves snow and family, it involves the best of what life has to offer.”
- “The snow is falling, the mountains are calling, my family along with love so strong, we make the memories that will last for so long.”
- “Creating the best memories, with snow, sleds, and laughter.”
- “The mountains covered in snow, your face red from the cold, we enjoy our family and the memories we are creating.”
- “What better way to enjoy your family than to enjoy a cold, snowy day and then warm up with some hot chocolate by the fire.”
Family vacations, in general, are fun, heartwarming experiences that make the best memories. You want to express to your followers the pure enjoyment you got out of your family vacation, even if you didn’t relax at the beachside or venture into the wilderness.
Here are a few nonspecific family vacation captions you can use to spice up those beautiful photos.
- “All you need to make a vacation a success is family, food, and peace.”
- “We haven’t been everywhere, we haven’t even come close, but experiencing it all with the family is all that matters.”
- “The wonderful thing about vacations is we can pretend like we’re a nice normal family.”
- “Fights and spending all your money are what makes a family vacation fun.”
- “The stress, the money spent, the time planning – it all becomes worth it when you see your kids smile.”
- “Having the best family vacation entails happy hearts, bellies full of food, good conversations, and wonderful memories made.”
- “It doesn’t feel like a vacation unless my kids are fighting, my husband is asleep on the pool chair, and I am toeing the line of keeping my sanity.”
- “When we have kids, we experience life through their eyes; why not make the scenery beautiful.”
- “I would spend my whole life traveling, as long as I could do it with my loved ones.”
- “The trips we take and the roads we travel create the best memories together.”
- “We only have a short time to teach our kids the beauty of the world; make sure you do it in the best places.”
- “Spending an entire vacation with your kids really makes you appreciate your alone time.”
- “Living my best life on vacation with my best people.”
- “Family, love, and laughter are the only things you need to make a vacation great.
- “The memories you make now will inspire your kids to do the same.”
- “The best vacations are where you can just enjoy the love you and your family have created.”
- “Here’s to family, food, and laughter.”
- “I would not want to change a single moment of the time I spent with my beautiful, chaotic, crazy family.”
- “This world gives you beauty; you just have to discover it.”
- “The most fulfilling thing you can do is spend time with the people you love and make the best memories possible.”
Snowy, beachy, or on the road, vacations are filled with great memories and fun that you want to share with the world. We want to represent our family and our fun in the best way possible. We want to make people understand our experiences and how we interpret them.
Social media platforms have really made it so easy to show family and friends the joys of your life. Finding the perfect caption for your photo can be a difficult task. Sometimes your brain goes blank, and you cannot find the right words to express your true feelings.
Whether it’s a caption that involves a little humor or a passionate caption that lets your followers know your true feelings, it helps to have some ideas. Hopefully, these captions help create the perfect post you are looking for. Any caption you post has the potential to inspire someone else to create great memories on a family vacation.
Now, get out there, enjoy your vacation, and happy posting!

Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves
Navagio Beach is commonly known as Shipwreck Beach, and it is a jewel in the crown of Zakynthos, Greece.

Paris has always held a special place in my heart. Back in my college days, I would hop the Eurostar from London. I was wholly and completely enchanted. The memories of those early visits still bring a smile to my face. Over the years, I’ve returned to the City of Light several times, but my…

Traveling With Kids? 24 Tips and Tricks To Make Family Travel a Little Easier
Posted: January 31, 2024 | Last updated: January 31, 2024
Being on vacation with kids is fun, but traveling to and from your destination is sometimes another story. With the right gear, a little advanced planning, and the ability to stay flexible, family travel can be enjoyable from the moment you leave your front door.
Make Family Travel Better With These Tips
Don’t let the fear of traveling with kids keep you from booking that trip! Use our list of tips and tricks to make family travel easier.
1. Square Crayons Don’t Roll
Whether kids are coloring on an airplane’s tray table or at a booth in a restaurant, crayons always seem to roll away from little fingers onto the floor. Invest in square crayons. The purchase will likely save you from recurrently searching for round crayons on the ground.
2. Reusable Stickers Never Get Old
Stickers are worth their weight in gold. Reusable ones are even better. Some websites carry reusable stickers that arrive in a book. Kids can create their favorite scenes, then rip them all off and do it again. Placing stickers on cars, planes, or train windows is also a favorite family travel pastime.
3. Bring Duct Tape
This trip from travel host Samantha Brown is invaluable. Duct tape can fix everything from broken toys to suitcases. In a hotel, you can use duct tape to soften sharp edges on furniture. If your little ones love cars, you can even craft a duct tape road on the hotel floor for them to whiz their vehicles around.
4. Mess-Free Markers
Most kids love to color, and these markers are magic. The markers must be paired with Color Wonder Paper, but it’s worth the small extra expense. Little ones will love seeing the clear stick produce vibrant colors before their very eyes. Plus, the markers are nontoxic.
5. The Element of Surprise
Family travel days can be long, frustrating, and tedious. Surprises are exciting. If you have a bag of toys, books, and activities to entertain your kids, reveal one toy at a time. The delay gives them ample opportunity to play with each one. When children get bored, parents can surprise them with something new.
6. Rent Baby Gear
Lugging baby gear through airports and in and out of cars weighs you down. Big and bulky items, like cribs, highchairs, portable baths, toys, and more, are often necessary but awkward to carry. Consider renting baby gear online at places like BabyQuip .
7. Invest in a Doona
No need to carry a car seat and a stroller. The Doona quickly transforms from a car seat to a stroller and back again. It’s expensive ($550 as of this article’s publishing) but makes family travel with an infant much easier.
8. Board the Airplane Last
Most airlines let families board first. However, this means more time that kids must sit on the plane or be strapped into a car seat. If you already have assigned seats, let them burn off excess energy in the airport a little longer before boarding.
9. Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks
This tip is for parents as well as their children. Eating gives travelers something to do, keeps moods and energy levels up, and provides necessary nutrition. Pack healthy snacks you know that you and your kids already like.
10. Pack Extra Wipes, Diapers, and Clothes in Your Carry-on
Kids are unpredictable. Whatever the mess, a freshly wiped face and new clothing will make everyone feel better. Parents, throw an extra shirt or pair of pants in there for you, too.
11. Bring a Sealable Bag
Following up on the high probability of accidents mentioned above, a sealable bag can save the day. When on the go, it’s nice to throw wet or tarnished items in something sealable so they can’t touch anything else in your bag.
12. Plan Downtime
Family vacations can be busy. There’s always plenty to do and so much to see in a limited timeframe. Even if your kids don’t nap, quiet time can go a long way. Downtime lets bodies and minds recharge so everyone is ready for the next adventure.
13. Get Global Entry for Each Family Travel Member
Global Entry can significantly reduce the time spent on lines when flying internationally. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler program lets travelers get through customs quicker. The saved time can be a lifesaver for those traveling with temperamental kids.
14. Download Entertainment at Home
While some argue that iPads or other electronic devices aren’t the best option to entertain young ones, they are useful when needed. When all else fails, or you just need a bit of peace and quiet, a new movie or favorite TV show might be just the trick. Your fellow passenger may thank you for it!
15. Kid-Friendly Cameras
Kids can capture beautiful family memories to last a lifetime from their very own kid-friendly cameras. Cameras help document a family trip, and kids will also feel proud of the photos they take. Plus, the activity is sure to occupy their time.
16. Air Tags
Air Tags are not just a tip for family travel; they benefit all travelers. Throw one in your suitcase or even your kids’ backpacks—really anything or anyone that might get lost.
17. Look For Special Kids’ Programs
Look for the National Park Service’s Junior Ranger program. It’s activity-based and fun, and kids learn about the importance of national parks. Ideal for ages 5-13, these programs are located across the country. Additionally, consider staying at a hotel with a kids’ club. They offer fun activities for little ones and give parents a much-needed break.
18. Consider Matching Clothes
Matching clothes makes it easier to find family members in a crowd. If matching isn’t for you, try easy-to-spot bright clothing.
19. Book Bulkhead Seats
Bulkhead seats help your child enjoy their flight . They’re often the best option for families with babies, as many airlines offer in-flight bassinets. For older kids, it gives them a little extra legroom.
20. Gate Check Strollers
Don’t check your stroller. You might need it at the airport. Instead, check it at the gate for free right before boarding the plane. It’ll be ready to pick up upon departing.
21. Reusable Water Bottles
Reusable water bottles, including kid-friendly sippy cups, are a general family travel tip that benefits everyone. They’re better for the environment; you can refill bottles at water fountains, and the sippy cups are familiar to little mouths.
22. Let Kids Carry a Backpack or Suitcase
When kids carry their own backpacks or suitcases, it encourages independence. They’ll likely be excited to be in control of all their stuff. As an added bonus, parents won’t have to carry extra gear, at least for a while.
23. Choose Hotel Rooms Wisely
If possible, upgrade to a suite. There’s more room for your belongings; everyone can spread out a bit. If a suite isn’t feasible, choose a room with a large square footage so kids have plenty of space to move around.
24. Be Flexible With Routine
Sure, kids thrive with routine, but this is vacation. Rules are meant to be broken. Nap times may not be perfect, meals might consist of more pizza and less broccoli. Family travel is for everyone; the entire family should enjoy it!

A family have issued a warning over passports and visas after they were left stranded in an airport following on from a 15 hour flight.
The issue happened after the long-haul flight from the United States , with a family of four denied entry in to the country they were travelling too over a technical issue over their paperwork.
With millions of people viewing the videos, they have become a viral sensation in their own right, with numerous updates posted as more and more information trickles out from the impacted group.
TikToker Mailan (@mdaniels28) posted on to the social media platform a week ago, with the video showing her hand placed over her mouth as she walks around a departure lounge before catching a connecting flight .
Writing over the video said: "Travelled 15 hours already just to get told our visas are denied."
Mailan added: "My sister has a hyphen in her legal name and they won’t allow it and decided to tell us five minutes before boarding halfway across the country already."
The family were travelling from Chicago in the USA to Vietnam ; a journey that on average takes 18 hours or so. Having done the majority of the journey with just one flight left, Mailan was told that she would not be allowed to continue.
![family travel facebook An issue you would want to avoid (Getty Stock Images)](https://images.ladbible.com/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=3840&fit=contain&gravity=auto&url=https://images.ladbiblegroup.com/v3/assets/bltcd74acc1d0a99f3a/bltfabf378ed80a5f7e/66a10dea1436b95f0b12e106/GettyImages-1389665262_(1).jpg)
The reason? Her passport and visa didn't match up.
But according to the group, that was through no fault of their own. Instead, it was a technical error out of their hands, Mailan said.
She explained in a follow up clip that her sister's name is hyphenated on her passport. Unfortunately, the visa application to get in to Vietnam legally doesn't let you use special characters such as a hyphen, Mailan explained.
Due to the names not matching up, Korean Air did not let the party board the next stage of their journey.
Mailan says: "Everything was fine when we got checked out of Detroit. They checked our visas, passports, bags .
"We were in contact with Vietnam - the people in Vietnam that were figuring all that stuff out - originally, when we applied to get the visas. And they said, we’re all good."
![family travel facebook Mailan couldn't believe they got denied boarding (TikTok / mdaniels28)](https://images.ladbible.com/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=3840&fit=contain&gravity=auto&url=https://images.ladbiblegroup.com/v3/assets/bltcd74acc1d0a99f3a/bltfded3310a0884c5d/66a10e0b378a922317be3025/Screenshot_2024-07-24_at_14.36.14.png)
Thankfully for the family, the issue was eventually resolved via Delta Airlines who Mailan said offered them a 'full refund on everything'.
The issue caused a fair bit of anxiety among people commenting. One said: "I have a hyphenated surname and now I'm scared."
A second echoed this person's issues, saying: "I have a hyphenated last name and it rarely allows me to use the hyphen when I fill out plane ticket information. I just leave a space in place of the hyphen and pray for the best."
And a third said: "As someone with a hyphen name when doing legal paperwork it’s a pain."
Ultimately, if you're concerned double and triple check with your airlines over any issue you think you might have with a hyphenated name, your passport, and visa. And try and take proof of these conversations with you on your journey.
A Korean Air spokesperson said: "The destination airport immigration office, not the airline, has the authority to approve a passenger's entry.
"The passenger was deemed ineligible for travel based on the immigration office's decision due to discrepancies in the traveler's name in her passport and visa application. Korean Air's branch office fully explained this to the passenger."

A family ended up having a hellish vacation after their cruise ship left them stranded.
The Gault family embarked on a trip on the Norwegian Encore cruise ship, with their party-of-16 forking out an eye-watering $30,000 between them.
During their travels , nine of the 16 members of the group went on a Norwegian Cruise Line excursion to a LumberJack show in Ketchikan, Alaska - but disaster struck when they tried to get back to the port.
Joshua Gault told KJRH: "We see the chaos getting onto the buses. We go to get on the bus and one of the attendees is like ‘The bus is full, and you know you got to wait for the next bus.'"
The next bus never came, however.
According to the family, the ticket attendant wasn't properly checking people's documents, meaning that people from another ship were able to take the Gault family's seats.
When they realized another bus wasn't going to come for them, Joshua contacted the port authority who sent a van to come collect the group-of-nine; but by the time they got to the port, the cruise ship had already left.
Making matters worse, the family were then unable to meet the ship at the next port in Canada as one of the passports needed was left onboard.
"It was a nightmare," Joshua said of the ordeal.
![family travel facebook The cruise ship left without the family. (KJRH)](https://images.ladbible.com/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=3840&fit=contain&gravity=auto&url=https://images.ladbiblegroup.com/v3/assets/blt949ea8e16e463049/blt9748027695eb0758/6698e1d0f2db212cacefc556/Screenshot_2024-07-18_at_10.34.17.png)
"Six kids on board, minor children, and a 78-year-old mother-in-law, all on medication.
"We all had to quit cold turkey medication these last few days because it was all on the cruise ship."
Adding insult to injury, for each passenger who missed the ship, Joshua says he was hit with a gut-wrenching $971 fine.
He only learnt of the fee while using his credit card to try and book flights home and saw that he'd been charged almost $9,000.
As a result of this, it took the Gaults days to get back home and they were forced to foot the bill for any accommodation, travel and food.
Since returning home, the family have been in touch with the cruise ship line to file a complaint.
A statement has since been issued by Norwegian Cruise.
It reads: "On the afternoon of Friday, July 12, a family of nine guests missed the ship’s all aboard time in Ketchikan, Alaska due to a misstep by a local tour operator.
![family travel facebook They had been travelling on The Norwegian Encore cruise ship.

"Then the guests did not return to the ship at the published time, we attempted to contact them but were unable to reach them.
"As such, we alerted the local port agent in Ketchikan and requested that they assist the family with booking a hotel for the night.
"As the guests would be unable to downline in the next port of call, Victoria, British Columbia, the port agent also helped the guests with securing flights to Seattle the following day, July 13."
It added that it will be reimbursing the family for 'all of the out-of-pocket expenses they incurred'.
The fines they were hit with will also be refunded and they'll get a pro-rated refund for the two cruise days they missed, the statement continued to say.
UNILAD has contacted Norwegian Cruise Line for comment.

American Airlines adding new service from Phoenix to Carlsbad, California
The new route will be the third airport in the san diego region that american operates from its phoenix hub..
![family travel facebook Envoy Air Embraer 175 with the American Eagle livery parked on an airport tarmac with a sunset...](https://gray-kpho-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/v2/7XITAL4JJJG4DIASYFWQTAI73E.jpg?auth=5786ec3de32ccbf157eb46168f91415603b1c8d6bf4189aa4595bc48847797e6&width=800&height=450&smart=false&focal=1249%2C565)
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Escaping the Arizona heat to the San Diego beaches is about to get easier as American Airlines announces it will begin flights from Phoenix to Carlsbad, CA.
The new route, which is scheduled to begin service on February 13, 2025, will include two daily flights between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and McClellan-Palomar Airport . American’s regional subsidiary airline, Envoy Air , will operate the flights using its latest Embraer 175 aircraft.
“American looks forward to connecting Carlsbad to our comprehensive global network starting next February,” said Frankie McLister, spokesman for American Airlines. “This new service will provide convenient one-stop connections to destinations across the United States and Mexico while bringing travelers from around the world to see all that Carlsbad has to offer.”
Located just 35 minutes north of downtown San Diego, Carlsbad is also home to the Legoland California Theme Park, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch, and miles of coastal beaches.
With the addition of the Carlsbad route, travelers will now have three airports in the San Diego area served from American’s Phoenix hub. Earlier this year, American began service between Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and Tijuana, Mexico, San Diego’s international border neighbor.
The region’s major airport, San Diego International, is a tough place for airlines to expand service, primarily because it’s the busiest single-runway airport in the United States. By flying to smaller airports, airlines can expand service to the region and offer a more convenient location for travelers who may be visiting areas outside a major city.

The Sapphire Preferred Card is one of the best rewards credit cards with an annual fee under $100, with a generous welcome bonus offer of 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Beyond its rewards, the Sapphire Preferred Card comes with some of the best travel coverage available, including trip cancellation and interruption insurance and primary car rental insurance.
The Sapphire Preferred Card also includes a $50 annual credit for hotels booked through the Chase Travel℠ Portal, a 10% anniversary points bonus, and up to 5 points per dollar in popular spending categories.
Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card Rewards
Welcome bonus.
TheChase Sapphire Preferred® Card bonus is 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. This welcome offer is worth $1,080 in travel, based on Business Insider's points and miles valuations .
As long as your Sapphire Preferred Card is open and in good standing, your Chase Ultimate Rewards® points will not expire. However, if you close your card, you'll lose all the points in your account — so be sure to redeem them or transfer them to an airline or hotel partner before you cancel.
How to Earn Points With the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
Sapphire Preferred Card members earn points at the following rates per dollar:
- 5 points on all travel purchased through Chase Travel℠
- 3 points on dining, including eligible delivery services, takeout, and dining out
- 3 points on select streaming services
- 3 points on online grocery purchases (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs)
- 2 points on all other eligible travel purchases
All other purchases earn one point per dollar.
How to Use Chase Ultimate Rewards Points
Chase Ultimate Rewards® points are worth 1 cent each by default when redeemed through the Chase Travel Portal. With the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, you get 25% more value, or 1.25 cents per point.
Redeem Chase Points for Travel
You can redeem Ultimate Rewards points for flights, hotels, rental cars, and more through the Chase Travel Portal at the 1.25-cent rate with no limits or blackout dates. The redemption system searches many airline and hotel brands, with a similar feel and layout to major discount travel websites.
However, if you want to get even more value per point, you can transfer to Chase's airline and hotel transfer partners at a 1:1 ratio. That means 1 Chase point equals 1 point or mile in these programs:
You generally get the best value per point by transferring to airlines and booking premium travel, like a first-class flight or a hotel stay that would cost hundreds of dollars. Also, keep in mind that many transfer partner airlines are members of alliances that give you additional partner airline choices.
When you get a good deal, you can book a domestic round-trip flight for 25,000 points. With British Airways, for instance, you can book short-haul flights on partner American Airlines for even fewer points. Southwest also offers many great deals with no checked baggage fees for your first two bags.
If you earn the welcome bonus offer on the Sapphire Preferred Card, you'll have more than enough points for a round-trip award flight to Europe — and depending on the partner you redeem with, you could have points left over to jumpstart your next trip.
Redeem Chase Points for Other Purchases
There are plenty of non-travel options for redeeming your Chase points, but you won't necessarily get as much value as you would by transferring to partners:
- Cash back : Cash in your points at a rate of 1 cent each toward a statement credit or direct deposit to your bank account
- Chase Pay Yourself Back : Use points toward eligible purchases at a rate of up to 1.25 cents apiece
- Gift cards: Your points are worth 1 cent each toward gift cards from popular merchants
- Apple, PayPal, and Amazon purchases: Use points directly for Apple (1 cent each), PayPal (0.8 cents each), or Amazon (0.8 cents each) purchases; the latter two options aren't a good value — you're better off paying for your purchase with the card, then redeeming points at 1 cent apiece toward a statement credit
Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card Benefits and Features
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card's benefits come in handy when traveling and shopping at home, online, or anywhere your travels take you.
When you're traveling outside the U.S., the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card does not charge any foreign transaction fees. Foreign transaction fees are typically 3% to 5% of your purchase, so they can quickly add up if you don't take the right card on your trips abroad.
Annual Hotel Credit
The Sapphire Preferred Card offers up to $50 in annual statement credits toward hotel purchases made through the Chase Travel Portal. New cardholders can start earning the credit immediately, while existing cardholders will be eligible after their next account anniversary.
Maximizing this credit is an easy way to shave up to $50 off the card's $95 annual fee — making your net out-of-pocket cost each year just $45.
10% Anniversary Point Bonus
Each year on your account anniversary, you'll receive a points bonus equal to 10% of all purchases made in the previous year.
For example, if you spent $25,000 on the card in an anniversary year, you'd receive a bonus of 2,500 points.
Primary Car Rental Insurance
The Sapphire Preferred Card card includes primary car rental insurance for damage due to theft or collision, which means it kicks in before your own car insurance and allows you to confidently pass up the extra charge of a car rental agency's own insurance whenever you rent a vehicle and pay with the Sapphire Preferred Card (note that it doesn't include liability insurance).
Most cars and countries are included, but check the terms and conditions for specific exclusions.
Trip Interruption/Cancellation Insurance
If you've paid for an eligible trip with the Sapphire Preferred Card and it's cut short or canceled for a covered reason like illness or severe weather, the card's travel insurance could reimburse you up to $10,000 per person and $20,000 per trip for pre-paid, non-refundable travel expenses.
Trip Delay Insurance
When you use your Sapphire Preferred Card to pay for your fare, its trip delay insurance can get you reimbursed up to $500 per ticket for hotel rooms, food, toiletries, clothes, or other reasonable expenses when your flight is delayed overnight or by 12 hours or more.
Baggage Delay Insurance
If you've paid for your travel with the Sapphire Preferred Card and your bags are delayed for six hours or more, you could be reimbursed for essential purchases (like clothing and toiletries) up to $100 per day for up to five days.
Lost Luggage Reimbursement
If the carrier damages or loses your bags, you and your immediate family members could be covered for up to $3,000 per passenger as long as you've paid for your tickets with the Sapphire Preferred Card.
Extended Warranty
The Sapphire Preferred Card extends the time period of a US manufacturer's warranty on eligible items by an additional year, on warranties of three years or less when you pay with your card.
Purchase Protection
If an eligible item you've bought with the Sapphire Preferred Card is damaged or stolen within 120 days of purchase, purchase protection could make you eligible for up to $500 in reimbursement per claim, and up to $50,000 per account.
Travel and Emergency Assistance Services
If you're traveling away from home and have a problem, you can get help with medical and legal referrals or other emergency assistance. This service is free for Sapphire Preferred Card cardholders, but any third-party costs are your responsibility.
Travel Accident Insurance
When you pay for your air, bus, cruise, or train transportation with the Sapphire Preferred Card, you're eligible for accidental death or dismemberment coverage of up to $500,000.
Roadside Dispatch
Sapphire Preferred Card cardholders can contact the roadside dispatch hotline for help with arranging services like towing and flat tire repair for a set fee.
DoorDash DashPass
With the Sapphire Preferred Card, you can receive a complimentary DashPass membership (for waived delivery fees on qualifying orders) through December 31, 2024. Enrollment is required to receive this perk.
Instacart Benefits
Through July 31, 2024, Sapphire Preferred Card cardholders can enroll for a complimentary six months of Instacart+ membership, which comes with free delivery on orders of $35+ and reduced service fees. If you don't plan to keep the membership open beyond six months, be sure to set a calendar reminder to cancel, otherwise, it will automatically renew for another year (currently $99) once your free six months are up.
With the Sapphire Preferred Card, you can now also earn up to $15 per quarter in statement credits toward Instacart purchases (activation required). If you maximize this benefit each quarter, it's worth up to $60 per year — which makes up for much of the card's annual fee.
Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card Fees
It is easy to see how you can get $100 or more in value from this card every year, but it isn't free. The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card charges a $95 annual fee. However, you can use the card for international purchases without worrying about extra charges, because it doesn't add foreign transaction fees.
Like most other credit cards, you'll pay interest if you carry a balance (currently a 21.49% - 28.49% Variable APR), and there fee in other situations, including balance transfers, cash advances, late payments, and returned payments.

The Sapphire Preferred Card isn't the only credit card geared to travelers that offers top-notch benefits and generous rewards. Depending on your spending and travel habits, one of these alternative credit cards could be a better fit for you.

The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card is nearly identical to the Sapphire Preferred Card, but for people who prefer Capital One as a credit card issuer.
New cardholders can earn a welcome bonus of 75,000 miles once you spend $4,000 on purchases within the first three months of account opening, plus receive a one-time $250 Capital One Travel credit in your first cardholder year. The card has an annual fee of $95, and earns a flat rate of 2 miles per dollar on most purchases. They will earn 5 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.

Sapphire Preferred Card Frequently Asked Questions
To be eligible to apply for the Sapphire Preferred Card, you have a credit score in the good to excellent range. However, Chase only allows you to have one Sapphire card at a time, so if you already have the card (or its sibling, the Chase Sapphire Reserve®), you won't be approved.
The $95 is worth it for occasional and frequent travelers, even the annual fee might seem intimidating if you've only had no-annual-fee cards in the past. It's definitely worth it in the first year because the value of the welcome bonus far exceeds the cost.
The Sapphire Preferred Card earns Chase Ultimate Rewards points, which you can redeem for travel booked through Chase, statement credits, gift cards, and merchandise. The best way to use your rewards is usually by transferring them to Chase's airline and hotel partners, because you can often get outsized value from your points this way.
The Sapphire Preferred Card does not charge extra to add authorized users. Additional cardholders get their own card, but any points earned from their spending will belong to the primary cardholder. Keep in mind any transactions made by your authorized users are your responsibility, so only add folks you trust.
The minimum credit limit for the Sapphire Preferred Card is usually $5,000 because it's a Visa Signature card. Many people get approved for credit limits that are higher than that.
The difference between the Sapphire Preferred and Reserve is that the Sapphire Preferred Card is a mid-tier card with a $95 annual fee and generous rewards for spending. The Chase Sapphire Reserve® is a premium card meant for frequent travelers, and comes with upscale benefits and rewards in exchange for a $550 annual fee.
You can upgrade the Sapphire Preferred Card if you've had it for at least a year. Should you decide it's not a good fit, you can call Chase and ask to product change to a different personal Chase Ultimate Rewards earning card. For example, if you find yourself traveling more often and want perks like Priority Pass airport lounge access , you could ask for an upgrade to the Chase Sapphire Reserve®.
You can downgrade the Sapphire Preferred Card if you've had it for at least a year. If you find that paying the Sapphire Preferred Card's annual fee isn't worth it for you, you could request a downgrade to the no-annual-fee Chase Freedom Flex® or Chase Freedom Unlimited®.
No, the Sapphire Preferred Card doesn't come with a TSA PreCheck or Global Entry credit. However, its sibling, the Chase Sapphire Reserve, does offer this feature. You can find more options in our guide to the best credit cards with Global Entry and TSA PreCheck credits.
