Our Story
Some trips are just trips. And then there are the ones that actually mean something—the anniversary you’ve been planning in your head for years, the milestone birthday that deserves a real celebration, the best friend trip you’ve been saying “we should do this” about for a decade. Those are the trips I plan.
Travel Style
I'm Ally Winston—Travel Curator at Curated by Ally & Co. I specialize in celebration travel: the moments worth marking, the experiences worth getting exactly right. Whether that’s a romantic escape to the Amalfi Coast, a Caribbean cruise for two, a girlfriend group takeover in the South of France, or a sun-soaked birthday week in the islands—I bring the same intention and detail to every trip I design.
Before building Curated by Ally & Co., I spent over a decade as a school counselor. That background shapes everything about how I work with clients—I listen carefully, ask the right questions, and take seriously the trust you place in me when you hand over one of the most meaningful trips of your life.

Ally was great! She Listened to what we wanted in terms of our stay and gave us lots of options for different price points. It was also great how everything was laid out for us to view with what was included with the booking. I would book with Ally again!

Ally was fantastic. She made our trip to Newport a pleasure, finding us a reasonably priced dog friendly hotel (which is no small feat in the expensive enclave of Newport). She provided a full itinerary to pick and choose from, including restaurants, dog friendly activities, parks in the area to exercise my canine, as well as human activities.
Her suggestion of Belle's for brunch was spot on - their lobster eggs Benedict was to die for.
Having Ally handle all the details made our trip so much more fun, we cant wait to plan our next adventure using Ally's expert services.

An Honest Review of the MSC Yacht Club Bahamas Cruise from New York
If you're a Northeast traveler who wants a luxury Bahamas cruise without setting foot in an airport, the MSC Yacht Club sailing round-trip from Brooklyn on the MSC Meraviglia is the most underrated itinerary in cruising right now—and this is my honest MSC Yacht Club review. In February 2026, I booked a Yacht Club Deluxe Suite to find out whether it lived up to what I'd been telling clients. What no brochure communicates: There is no airport. You drive to Red Hook in Brooklyn, a butler meets you at the terminal entrance, and, within hours, you're watching the Statue of Liberty disappear behind you as the ship heads south toward 75-degree Bahamian sunshine. Seven nights later—having swum with pigs in Nassau, celebrated a milestone birthday in a butler-decorated stateroom, and watched sunset after sunset from the Top Sail Lounge—I came home just ahead of the largest blizzard in 30 years. It more than held up.

Redefining the Holidays at Sea: A Virgin Voyages Caribbean Sailing
Trading winter coats for ocean air, this Caribbean holiday sailing aboard Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady offered a rare kind of ease—the kind that begins the moment you step onboard and deepens with each day at sea. In an adults-only (18+) environment, the holidays felt quieter, calmer, and more intentional, free from the noise, schedules, and expectations that often define this time of year. My partner and I used the holiday break to slow down, indulge, and begin a new tradition rooted in warmth, connection, and choice.

Jungle Serenity & Coastal Splendor in Manuel Antonio
Manuel Antonio captures the essence of Costa Rica—lush rainforest spilling down to golden beaches, wildlife at every turn, and a relaxed rhythm of life. Watching sloths sway above the trees, hearing howler monkeys echo through the canopy, or sipping fresh coconut water on the sand while the Pacific sparkles ahead—every moment feels alive with pura vida.
