Reviews of hotels, flights, lounges, and even roller coasters ended up as the most popular posts I wrote this year. Below are the top 10 most viewed posts written in 2025.
10. Chase Sapphire Reserve Unboxing – One of the most talked about credit card updates of 2025 was the Chase Sapphire Reserve. I applied for it the day the application opened and received it a few days later.
9. HAL Zuiderdam Ocean View Stateroom Review – I sailed one of Holland America Line’s oldest ships, the first of the Vista class, the Zuiderdam which first set sail in 2002. I believe I found the best Ocean View stateroom on the ship.
8. How to use Virgin Voyages Refer a Sailor Program – A new referral program for Virgin Voyages that can get you drink credits.
7. Thompson Palm Springs Review – The much delayed Hyatt property in downtown Palm Springs opened and I visited in February.
6. Chase Sapphire Lounge Phoenix Review – The smallest Chase Sapphire Lounge, the Phoenix location allows you to reserve in advance. Note that it is in Terminal 4 and not accessible airside from Terminal 3.
5. My Experience with the Frontier GoWild! Pass – I decided to spend my summer exploring America with last minute flights booked with my Frontier GoWild! Pass. With lots of routing through Denver, I was able to visit a lot of new places.
4. Hawaiian Airlines A330 First Class SEA-HNL – Trying out Hawaiian’s First Class service on their older wide body planes. It isn’t as good as the new 787 suites, but still a nice way to fly to Honolulu.
3. Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico Review – This sprawling, dated resort property has some serious shortcomings but offers a jumping off point for exploring El Yunque National Forest.
2. Turkish Airlines Lounge MIA E Gates Review – Probably the worst domestic lounge I have visited, this Priority Pass accessible lounge is NOT worth a visit. Sitting at your gate is a better experience.
1. Cedar Point Roller Coasters Ranked – I tried out all the roller coasters (that were open) at Cedar Point in Ohio. My top post of 2025 was a list of the top coasters.
