Episode #210 - Cruise Vacations With Your Kids!

On this new episode we explore cruising with your kids. We think taking a family cruise is a wonderful way to spend time together, try new things, visit new places and learn about other cultures. However, most of your time will be enjoying the cruise ship and all of its amazing kids programs and activities. We discuss what you can expect and experience on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Princess Cruises. Do you have a great experience that you've had with your kids that you would like to share with us, let us know! 

Keep On Cruising!

Episode 209 - Is AI Infiltrating The Cruise Blogosphere? Part 2

We are back with part two examining the suspiciously clickbait article titled "What A Cruise Is Really Like - Fantasy Versus Reality" by Nicole Castelino. It is very apparent that this was written by AI and not by a real travel/cruise writer. This poorly written article was published to draw readers who are drawn into fake drama and negative stories, with unsupported "facts". This article's sole purpose is to create controversy to feed the search engines algorithms that like negative stories, videos, etc. We are exposing their tactics.

Keep On Cruising!

Episode #208 - Is AI Infiltrating The Cruise Blogosphere? Part 1

 

Scott recently ran across a blog post about cruising with a suspiciously clickbait title "What A Cruise Is Really Like - Fantasy Versus Reality" by Nicole Castelino. We take a dive and read through this article which was full of straw man arguments, untrue accusations and just poor writing about cruising. Why was this even published? Who is Nicole Castelino? What is Livstyl.com all about? It became more apparent as we read through this "article" we felt that an AI bot wrote this. Is this the future of cruise blogging? Listen and let's discuss. Share with us your thoughts on this show.

Keep On Cruising!
