Crafty Ways To Steer Clear Of The Crowds On Busy Cruises (Podcast #460)
Cruise lines are packing their ships full these days. They're admitting that they're selling at 100% or higher capacity. So, ships are really, really full, and I've seen this firsthand on a recent cruise, like MSC Cruises, Norwegian, or Caribbean, even Princess in Alaska. So, I want to share with you proven techniques to deal with managing crowds and avoiding crowds.

Hot Issues Dividing Cruisers RIGHT NOW! (Podcast #459)
On my last cruise, a Windstar Fjords cruise, I posted clips on Instagram of the best attended event of my entire cruise. It immediately ignited a fiery, lively, and divided debate about if the event was a good idea or not. It got me thinking about other things that I talk about on social media or in my videos, that spark heated debates and where cruisers fall into “for” or “against” camps, with few on the fence. So, let's find out where you stand on these right now as I suspect that, like me, your stand is shifting as we face a new world of cruising.

I Cruise The World's "Most Popular" Small Ship Line: Windstar (Podcast #458)
After loving recent cruises on 600 and 700 passenger ships, like Oceania Insignia, Azamara Quest and Seabourn Encore, I wanted to see if going ever smaller was even better, so I booked myself on an 11-night Windstar Star Pride “Lands of the Midnight Suns”. Now this ship only holds 312 passengers, and they claim to be the market leading small ship line and have both these yacht style engine-driven ships that I went on, but they also have sailing vessels as well.

I test out cruising in Yacht Club, a limited access “ship-within-a-ship” on MSC Cruises, to see if it really is better than cruising as a “regular” passenger and if it is worth paying the premium for the experience and the perks.

Customer Reviews
Helpful tips; a bit cruise centric lately
I love the truly practical tips, especially for anyone who’s done little travel. One of the best tips is the DK eyewitness travel guides. They are spectacular! Most episodes lately have seemed overwhelmingly cruise centric, which is ironic considering how late he came to the cruise game, but again the tips are extremely helpful and practical. Love the English accent but would also find it helpful if the information was a bit less Eurocentric. Overall, keep up the good work.
LOVE!
I just recently discovered Gary and I have to say, I love his content! I’ve listened to a lot of travel podcasts, and I agree with other reviewers who find him refreshing in a saturated market of self-aggrandizing.
This is the best source for tips on cruising
Gary is extremely knowledgeable about cruising & I feel fortunate that he shares all of that knowledge with us. Thank you Gary for sharing yourself, your knowledge & your personal cruise time making notes, filming, and producing these tips.
