Episode #88 - Royal Caribbean's "Iconic" News with Matt Hochberg



Welcome to episode #88! 

We have a fantastic show for you today!

Last week, Royal Caribbean announced an brand new class of ships that will be coming in 2022 and 2024. What is unique about this announcement is that these new ships, the Icon Class, will be power by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and fuel cell technology. This is the first ever passenger cruise ship line to bring to the cruise industry a clean burning energy proportion system. 

On top of that, they will be testing fuel cell technology on their Oasis and Quantum class ships to starting in 2017. 

We have invited Matt Hochberg of Royal Caribbean Blog onto this week's show to  discuss this "iconic" news and speculate the impact of this announcement on the cruise industry, refueling stations, testing procedures, possible of fuel surcharges and more. 

Definitely, this is probably the biggest change and announcement that the cruise industry has seen in 2016. We will be watching this closely and keep you updated as information becomes available. 

Finally, please continue to share us with your family and friends - it really helps to expand and grow our show through word of mouth and the various social media outlets we use. We appreciate you - you are the best!

Happy Cruising!
Tommy & Scott

Episode #87 - Lunchcasting and Connie's Cruise Trip Report!



Welcome to episode #87! 

(No really, really it is episode 87 even though I said it was 86 about a minute into the show. Mistakes happen. Bummer, sorry about that! ^Tommy) 

We have a unique podcast episode for you - actually, we are calling it a "lunchcast" because we recorded it over lunch at Fatburger. We prerecorded somethings and mixed it all together and voila! a podcast episode was born! 

Scott has some breaking news about Carnival's Long Beach port expansion plans.  We also have a conversation with our friend Connie Moreno who just got back from a four day cruise on the Carnival Inspiration. She shares some great tips about her experiences in Catalina and Ensenada. 

Connie has a blog about her cruise with some fantastic photos and details about the ship:

Episode #85 - Scott’s Cruise Report: Carnival Imagination Fun Ship 2.0 and Inside Scoops!



Welcome to episode #85!

Scott just got back from his cruise on the Carnival Imagination. The ship just finished it's dry dock refurbishment and had some upgrades and new features added. Scott shares with us some "inside scoops" he got that are not quite well known too!  From the Chef's Table to the water slides, Scott was busy trying, tasting and testing everything.

Also Scott has already uploaded fresh new videos - they are just awesome. He and Pam got some amazing video from their parasailing adventure on Catalina Island. They even circled the cruise ship for some breathtaking views of the island and the luxury liner. Be sure to take some time to see these fun videos. It will want you to book that Carnival Cruise!

Please take our poll! Carnival wants to know from our listeners if you would like to see Guy's Burger Joint open for the evenings. We will share this information back to Carnival in a few weeks.
