  4. Packed for the Bahamas, Sailing to Halifax? What the East Coast Storm Means for Your Cruise, Plus the Deals That End Today | October 19, 2026

    Several of this fall's best all-inclusive river cruise deals expire in the next two weeks, starting with a brand-new $200-per-person bonus from Scenic and Emerald that ends Monday, October 26, and this year the low-water fine print matters as much as the discount. In this Wander With Milford…

  7. SeaWorld Closed Mako. What Still Matters for Your Orlando Weekend? | October 16, 2026

    SeaWorld Orlando temporarily closed Mako, its tallest and fastest coaster, after a guest fell to his death from the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia on October 12.

  10. After Isaias, Which Orlando Deadlines Still Matter This Week? | October 13, 2026

    Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin on October 9 as a Category 2 storm and never put Orlando under a hurricane or tropical storm warning.

  11. Is Hurricane Simon Changing Your Mexican Riviera Cruise? Plus Five Deals and Deadlines This Week | October 12, 2026

    Hurricane Simon is parked off Mexico's Pacific coast, Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo are closed, and cruise ships are swapping Mexican ports for California, so this is the Monday cruise update to hear before your Mexican Riviera sailing.

  13. How Do You Turn a River Cruise Into a Truly All-Inclusive One? | October 10, 2026

    The gap between a "nearly all-inclusive" and a truly all-inclusive river cruise is often one choice at booking, and this week the right pick can add free drinks and prepaid tips while one of the fall's biggest Europe river sales ends Tuesday, October 13. In this Wander With Milford river cruise...

  16. Is Isaias About to Wash Out Your Weekend Park Trip? | October 7, 2026

    A strengthening Tropical Storm Isaias has the northern Gulf Coast under a Hurricane Watch, and Gulf Islands National Seashore is already closing beaches and campgrounds.

In...

  20. Is ”All-Inclusive” on a River Cruise Really All-Inclusive? | October 3, 2026

    You're shopping for an "all-inclusive" river cruise—but one line's fare covers drinks, tips, and nearly every excursion while another's lower sticker price leaves those for you to add, and Europe's Rhine and Danube are still seeing unusually low water that can mean ship swaps, hotel nights, or...

    One signature stands between Arizona’s Chiricahua National Monument and becoming America’s 64th national park.
