    Episode #225 - Carnival Cruise Line Sets The Bar Higher!

    Welcome to episode #225!  Carnival Cruise Line is setting the bar higher and expectations for all cruise passengers aboard their ships. A few days ago, they released a letter that encourages everyone to “Have Fun, Be Safe."   “Our experience has taught us that everyone has a better time when a spirit of community and neighborliness is shown by all.”  The letter’s guidelines reinforces their policies and they clearly state they will take drastic measures to maintain the “comfort, enjoyment, safety or well-being of other guests or crew." We share our thoughts on this timely and important letter and commend Carnival Cruise Line for taking action. What are your thoughts?  Enjoy the show! Tommy & Scott

    Episode #223 - Ride In Style: Private Car Service To Your Cruise Port!

What other options are available? Recently, Scott and his family travelled to Texas for a cruise and they hired a private car service for the first time and had a very interesting conversation with their driver. A impromptu interview was recorded about the features and benefits of hiring a private car service for your upcoming cruise. You will ride in style and comfort, and start your next cruise vacation worry free. Enjoy the show! Tommy & Scott

    Hey Cruisers!  The last few months of 2024 was a whirlwind of cruising and busyness, but still we have a lot of catching up to do and audio content to share.  The decision was made to produce a few “flashback” episodes along the way as 2025 gets underway. On this new episode, we gathered with  amazing cruise content creators to share our thoughts and excitement about our upcoming media cruise on Sun Princess!  It’s a rare and unique opportunity to have Don @eatsleepcruise, Sheri @cruisetipstv, Doug @cruiseradio Ilana @lifewellcruised and JT @cruisingwithjt all in one place at the same time. It was truly such a special moment - thank you friends!  And next up, Cruise Director Corinne Steele shares her nautical journeys and things you should not miss seeing, doing and of course, eating on Sun Princess.  We hope you enjoy this special flashback episode! #sunprincess #princesscruises #cruise #cruising #food #travel #hosted Happy Cruising!
