    Dealing with Cancellations in 2026 - S3E1

    This is a topic nobody wants to think about but EVERYONE needs to know: travel cancellations and disruptions! Whether it's airlines canceling your flight the night before your cruise, weather derailing your plans, or that dreaded "mechanical issues" announcement, we'll share our hard-earned wisdom from years of cruise travel (including some of our own disaster stories!). We're breaking down the three pillars of travel disruption survival: how to avoid problems before they start, how to plan for the inevitable hiccups, and most importantly, what to do when everything goes sideways at 3 AM in a foreign airport.Whether you're a cruise veteran or planning your first voyage, this is your chance to learn from our mistakes (and successes!) and get answers to your travel protection questions. Bring your own cancellation stories, your travel insurance confusion, and let's make sure your next cruise vacation is bulletproof!Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.We have cruised on ten different cruise lines for over twenty years now, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with you.We will be posting Cruise VLOGS, videos that cover ship reviews, cabin tours, ship tours, and all of the fun in between!🔥We hope you Subscribe for more cruise adventures!! ⭐️Join our Socials at:➡️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CruisingCanucks➡️ Instagram: @cruisingcanucks➡️ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cruisingcanucks➡️ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheCruisingCanucks/➡️ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cruisingcanucks.bsky.social➡️ Our WEBSITE at: https://www.cruisingcanucks.com➡️ Check out our Merchandise at: https://www.cruisingcanucks.ca/gear/➡️ Join our EMAIL list at: https://cruisingcanucks.ck.page/dd2b4b8b3fWe can be reached at:Cruising Canucks • P.O.

    Join us for a LIVE deep-dive into our highly anticipated 11-day Caribbean adventure aboard the Azamara Onward, a small ship hosting fewer than 500 passengers. Fresh from a Seabourn cruise, we'll share why we chose Azamara for our first experience with the line, dissect our Caribbean itinerary, and offer an honest comparison between Azamara, Seabourn, and other cruise options, covering everything from what's included and extra costs to dining, entertainment, and the line's signature AzAmazing Evenings.

    Black Friday Cruise Pricing Exposed - S2E24

    Join us as we expose the truth about Black Friday cruise "sales"! We've been tracking cruise prices for years, and what we've discovered might surprise you. While everyone's focused on Black Friday deals, we'll show you why these sales are often more about added perks (free gratuities, drink discounts, onboard credits) than actual price drops. We'll reveal when cruises are REALLY cheapest, how dynamic pricing works against you, and share insider strategies for finding genuine deals. Bring your questions about specific cruise lines and current "sales" - we'll analyze them live and help you determine if that Black Friday deal is actually worth booking. No fluff, just honest advice to save you real money on your next cruise!Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.We have cruised on ten different cruise lines for over twenty years now, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with you.We will be posting Cruise VLOGS, videos that cover ship reviews, cabin tours, ship tours, and all of the fun in between!🔥We hope you Subscribe for more cruise adventures!! ⭐️Join our Socials at:➡️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CruisingCanucks➡️ Instagram: @cruisingcanucks➡️ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cruisingcanucks➡️ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheCruisingCanucks/➡️ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cruisingcanucks.bsky.social➡️ Our WEBSITE at: https://www.cruisingcanucks.com➡️ Check out our Merchandise at: https://www.cruisingcanucks.ca/gear/➡️ Join our EMAIL list at: https://cruisingcanucks.ck.page/dd2b4b8b3fWe can be reached at:Cruising Canucks • P.O.

    Canucklings Community Create Travel Magic - S2E21

    Ever wondered what happens when cruise lovers sail together? Join us as we share the heartwarming stories behind both our group cruises (open to everyone!) and our Canucklings Patreon community. We'll reveal how strangers become dinner companions, solo cruisers find their travel tribe, and why that person you met at the Lido deck might just become your next cruise buddy. From our group cruise meet-ups where first-timers get adopted by veteran cruisers, to our 24/7 Discord chat where members plan impromptu shore excursions together - this is all about the magic of shared experiences at sea. Whether you're curious about joining our next group sailing, want to peek inside our Patron community, or just love hearing stories about cruise friendships, this show celebrates what makes cruising better: the people you sail with. No sales pitch, just real stories from real cruisers who've discovered that the best souvenir from any voyage is often the friends you make along the way. 🚢❤️Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.We have cruised on ten different cruise lines for over twenty years now, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with you.We will be posting Cruise VLOGS, videos that cover ship reviews, cabin tours, ship tours, and all of the fun in between!🔥We hope you Subscribe for more cruise adventures!! ⭐️Join our Socials at:➡️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CruisingCanucks➡️ Instagram: @cruisingcanucks➡️ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cruisingcanucks➡️ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheCruisingCanucks/➡️ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cruisingcanucks.bsky.social➡️ Our WEBSITE at: https://www.cruisingcanucks.com➡️ Check out our Merchandise at: https://www.cruisingcanucks.ca/gear/➡️ Join our EMAIL list at: https://cruisingcanucks.ck.page/dd2b4b8b3fWe can be reached at:Cruising Canucks • P.O.

    The Show About Nothing - S2E20

    Welcome to something different - our "show about nothing." No agenda, no planned topics, no script. Just us, coffee, and whatever YOU want to talk about. Ask us about cruising, vlogging, that group cruise ship decision we're wrestling with, or what we had for breakfast. This is less "educational webinar" and more "hanging out with friends who happen to cruise a lot." Grab your drink, get comfy, and let's see where the conversation goes.
