Honest cruise, hotel, and food reviews from a real family traveler.

I'm Alex. Family man, frequent flyer, food obsessed.

I live in the Chicago suburbs with my wife Vika and our two teenagers. We travel a lot, sometimes for work, often for fun, and we eat well wherever we go.

Every review on this site is something I actually paid for, sailed on, slept in, or ate. If a room is small, I tell you. If the food is incredible, you'll hear about it. If something isn't worth the money, I say so.

If it sounds like a friend telling you about a trip over dinner, I did my job right.
