GLP at Sea™ is the vision of Kristin DiBiase, founder and primary travel advisor of JKD Global Travel. Celebrating her 10th anniversary as a travel professional, she combines her skillscurates elevated travel experiences for in-demand professionals to recharge, re-center, and reconnect with what matters most--designing premium and upscale cruises, restorative retreats, and group journeys that transcend the ordinary.

Kristin also brings personal experience to this retreat. After losing 115 pounds on a GLP-1, she understands firsthand the transformation, vulnerability, and strength that define this journey. GLP at Sea™ blends professional travel expertise with authentic lived experience to create a retreat environment that is structured, supportive, and thoughtfully executed.

We’ve all navigated questions, opinions, setbacks, and victories. GLP At Sea™ is what happens when that shared experience comes together in real time: five nights of connection, celebration, and community--without explanation, apology, or minimization of your success--aboard the remarkable Harmony of the Seas.®

Layered on top of everything already included in your Royal Caribbean cruise, your GLP Cruise™ retreat experience includes:

• Private GLP At Sea™ Community Access
  Before we ever step onboard, you’ll gain access to a private, cruiser-only discussion in our group space to meet fellow participants, ask questions, and begin building connections. Access continues after we return home so the community and support remain in place.
  
• $50 Onboard Credit
  Confirmed participants receive $50 USD in onboard credit per cabin. (Onboard credit is not redeemable for cash.)
  
• Inaugural Swag Bag
  Each participant receives a commemorative GLP At Sea™ swag bag featuring a limited-edition pin and other items celebrating our first sailing together.
  
• Sail-Away Hospitality Desk
  Once you’ve settled into your stateroom, stop by our hosted check-in space to connect, orient yourself, and officially begin your retreat experience.
  
• Dedicated Group Dining Time
  A coordinated 7:30pm Main Dining Room seating is reserved for our group each evening for those who wish to gather and reflect on the day together. Participation is optional—you’re always free to explore specialty dining or other plans.
  
• Onboard Group Meetups
  Throughout the sailing, we’ll coordinate activity-centered gatherings based on shared interests—from trivia and morning walks to pickleball, waterpark adventures, and late-night dancing. Join what energizes you. Skip what doesn’t.
  
• Panels & Workshops
  Several intentional sessions are designed for deeper conversation in a relaxed, judgment-free setting. Ask the questions you’ve been holding onto. Hear perspectives from others at different stages. Strengthen your mindset, refine what’s working, and continue evolving into the version of yourself you’re building.
  
• The GLowuP Awards
  Our final-night celebration: part fashion showcase, part recognition ceremony. We’ll honor significant milestones, health victories, maintenance achievements, and community-nominated recognitions. Participation is optional; celebration is shared..
  
• Optional Curated Add-On Experiences ($-$$$)
  Enhance your retreat with limited-capacity excursions and special enhancements available onboard, at Perfect Day at CocoCay®, and in Nassau.
  
• Early Access to Future Events
  GLP Cruise™ alumni receive advance notification and priority booking access before future GLP At Sea™ departures open to the broader public.

In addition to the structured retreat programming above, select guests will also receive a special Nassau enhancement:

Are you the one who welcomes newcomers, offers thoughtful encouragement, and brings steady positive energy when it matters most?

If so, the F20 may be where you belong.

F20 stands for the Founding 20: a select group of twenty participants who will help shape the tone of our inaugural GLP at Sea™ sailing. F20 participation is limited to twenty members and may close once roles are filled. This isn’t about managing logistics--it’s about presence. The generosity, optimism, and leadership you naturally bring will help define the culture of this first cohort.

F20 members receive:

• Founding Recognition
  A special credential within the GLP at Sea™ community, both online and onboard.
  
• A Private F20 Gathering
  An exclusive onboarding event for deeper connection before the full group convenes.
  
• Commemorative Gift
  A limited-edition item created specifically for Founding 20 participants.
  
• Priority Access
  Early access to reserve capacity-restricted optional experiences before they open to the broader group.

The GLP at Sea™ inaugural GLP Cruise™ retreat is built as a structured retreat experience, not simply a shared itinerary. Designed and operated by travel advisor and coach Kristin DiBiase--who lost 115 pounds on a GLP-1 and has been in maintenance since 2024--the sailing combines professional travel expertise with authentic lived experience. Programming includes facilitated discussions, confidence workshops, curated gatherings, and a celebratory fashion and awards show within a clearly defined retreat framework. Participation is managed exclusively through JKD Global Travel to preserve the integrity and cohesion of the experience.

While we will have multiple retreat activities taking place each day, you are never required to attend. There will be special events at set times that give you a chance to meet up with other community members, but for large portions of the trip, your time will be your own to do with as you please (which you'll need, because the ship itself has tons to do!).

Ah, yes...cruise math strikes again. The cruise begins on October 24, but sail-away is at 4pm; and disembarkation (when people start leaving at the end to go home) starts at 7am on October 29. The four days in between, October 25-28, are full days.

Solo travelers are allowed to book a stateroom by themselves at 200% of the full fare + an administration fee (total cost is no higher than the double occupancy price).

To book a cabin on Royal Caribbean, guests must be aged 18 years or older. Due to the potential nature of some conversations that may take place, participation in this inaugural GLP At Sea™ event is restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older as well.

Due to capacity restrictions, we can only guarantee inclusion for guests who book directly with JKD Global Travel. Guests who book directly with Royal Caribbean or who book through another travel agency will not be able to participate in GLP At Sea™ events.  

A passport is the best ID document for cruise travel because it's official verification of your identity and your citizenship, both of which are required to be able to cruise. The expiration date listed on your passport must be at least 6 months after the last date of your cruise or you won't be allowed to board.

U.S. Citizens can cruise with a birth certificate on most sailings from the U.S. if their birth certificate meets specific requirements, but a passport is preferred.

Your identity must be consistent across all of the documents you are using--so if you've had a name change, you might have additional requirements. 

The Day Pass provides full-day, all-inclusive access to Royal Beach Club Paradise Island during our Nassau port stop, including round-trip ferry transportation from the ship.

Guests enjoy access to all general amenities, three temperature-controlled pools, beach areas, and lounge spaces throughout the property.

The pass includes dining at three complimentary locations and unlimited beverages. Guests 21+ receive unlimited open bar service; guests under 21 receive unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and dining.
