2.11 Multiple Storms Brewing: Love Games & Breakup Gains
It’s SO great to be back here with you! I’m currently home in Toronto after finishing up my latest contract as a Cruise Director. Tune in for an update on how it went as well as picking up where we left off.
I learn the truth about how I was hired at my cruise line. Also, I don’t know if I’d ever get used to how my relationship changed with the Hotel Director aboard Oceanic Euphoria. From an exciting day ashore to hosting the Love and Marriage gameshow with a twist, there was definitely more than just one storm brewing!

2.10 Bitter Enemies to Besties - How I Won Over a Rival
The biggest thing I recall from the early parts of my career at sea had to do with humor. There were so many instances where there were situations that would make me laugh, and others that were beyond belief. This cruise, I would experience more than a few. Best of all, in this episode, my mother visits the Oceanic Euphoria.
I also wanted to point out, to any of our newer listeners - this show takes place largely in the past and is an episodic show. For the best experience please make sure to start the series.

2.7 Can You Sleep With Guests?
We’re back! And, the world is opening. Since our last episode, a lot has changed. I’ve had some massive changes in my life and I can’t wait to share them with you.
This is my very first cruise as Cruise Director of the Oceanic Euphoria. But, things don’t start off as smoothly as I wanted them to. The line between personal and professional gets blurry. Plus, I get my very first lesson in Leadership. It feels amazing to be back…I’ve got some great episodes in the pipeline now, so I can’t wait to share them with you in the coming months.

Customer Reviews
I like cruising podcasts
I listen to almost all the cruising podcast available. This one approaches cruising from an entirely different angle and it’s really engaging. I started contributing to the podcast in the hopes we can get a new/additional musical interlude between segments.
Memories!
As a former cruise ship worker it’s so fun to listen to Kabir’s stories about life at sea. He’s a great story teller and I look forward to each episode of his well produced podcast. If you are at all interested at a peak behind the curtain of the life onboard a ship give it a listen.
