Episode #227 - A Closer Look At Princess Cruises' Drink Package Changes

 

Welcome to episode #227!

Today we are taking a closer look and discuss the recent changes Princess Cruises has made to their “Princess Plus Package” and “Princess Premier Package” beverage programs. One of the best things about cruising, is you can pick and choose what you like to do. From selecting a interior cabin to a grand suite, or maybe you just enjoy having casual meals at the buffet or you can splurge for specialty dining every night, or maybe you just enjoy a glass of wine at dinner but your spouse likes trying and discovering new distilled beverages without breaking the bank. The bottom line is that you get to determine what is important to you and what makes your cruise vacation unique and special. And that is a good thing. We share our thoughts and would like to hear how you plan and create your dream cruise vacations. 

Enjoy the show!

Episode #41 - Part 2: Pam's Mediterranean Cruise on the Emerald Princess

Welcome to episode #41!

In Part 2 of this new show, Pam Andrews, my sister and Scott's wife, shares her thoughts and experiences on the beautiful Emerald Princess cruise ship and the amazing Mediterranean ports that they visited.

It's all here: the food, the weather, her cabin steward Angel ("he was a rock star!"), dolphins, the shows, the medical center, the spa, the ports, shopping, the Catacombs, city tours, mint chip gelato, escargot aka snail shots and Pam's cruise and tour tips.

Cruise Ports:
Rome, Italy (Embarkation)  
Palermo, Sicily 
Naples, Italy
Livorno, Italy (Pisa, Lucca, Florence) 
Genoa, Italy 
Tulan, France
Barcelona, Spain (Disembarkation)

So many ports and things to see and do, it was a "buffet of travel!" 

Pam goes into detail the way she likes to "get lost" and experience ports differently while finding interesting things to do and see and even how to bargain for a tour and save some money. 

It was a cruise of a lifetime - the were filled with so many wonderful memories that were made with my father, his wife, and her step sisters on the beautiful Mediterranean sea. 

Princess put on phenomenal cruise and Pam highly recommends you consider cruising with them for your upcoming Mediterranean cruise.Check out our links below:

Episode #34 - Seaside Scuttle: Listener Voicemails, Update on our “Cruise With The Dudes” Cruise and a Mini Interview with Gavin MacLeod!

Welcome to Episode #34!

Wow, have we got a big show for you today!

This past Sunday at the Los Angeles Festival of Books, we had the awesome opportunity to meet and speak with Gavin MacLeod who played Captain Merrill Stubing on the famous TV series, The Love Boat. This show introduced us to the world of cruise ship vacations and it catapulted the Princess Cruises business into the stratosphere. The weekly TV show lasted for 9 seasons and is currently still in syndication in 125 countries. And if you are sailing on a Princess Cruises ship, you can watch the show on a exclusive TV channel in your cabin. Gavin is currently the Princess Ambassador for Princess Cruises and was recently honored as the "Godparent" of their newest ship, the Regal Princess.

Gavin has written about his amazing life and acting career in his new book, "This Is Your Captain Speaking". His journey from Broadway to Hollywood to sailing with Princess Cruises is filled with great stories and encounters with celebrities, politicians, as well as a spiritual rebirth. Gavin graciously gives God the credit for everything bestowed upon his life and family.

Scott and I hope you enjoy this mini interview with Gavin and we hope in the future to speak with him again. He was such a gracious gentleman and we thank Princess Cruises for their help in making this arrangement happen on such a short notice. 

We have an autographed copy of Gavin MacLeod's new book that we are going to give away for free on our next show! All you need to do is email us at: thecruisedudes@gmail.com and put in the subject line, "Book Contest" and we will put your name into the hat for the drawing that will be done live on episode #35.

You can also buy "This Is Your Captain Speaking" from our Amazon affiliate link here:

Happy Cruising! - Tommy & Scott
