Episode #53 - A Close Up on the Ruby Princess and Food!

Welcome to episode #53!

Sometimes when you make plans they change, especially when you are podcasting.

This show is proof of that - but all in a good way, and I might add, in a tasty way. This show took a surprising turn that we did not plan talk about in this episode - which was all about the food we enjoyed on board!  

We were fortunate to experience celebrity chef, Curtis Stone's brand new restaurant, Share. Princess did a total remodel of Sabatini's and turned it into a modern, but warm and inviting environment at the aft of the ship. Share is only on the Ruby and Emerald Princess ships at this time. This was an amazing experience. It was entertainment for your palate!  We are sure after you hear our thoughts, you will want to make reservations for dinner on your next cruise. 

Also, we discuss our meals and experiences at the ship's dining rooms, Crown Grill, International Cafe,  Horizon Court buffet, room service, the pizzeria and more!  

We are not responsible if you drool and short circuit your iPod if you listen to this show!

Don't forget, we would love for you to join us this summer for our "Cruise With The Dudes" cruise! July 17th -20th, 2016 on the Carnival Imagination! Details can be found here: www.cruisedudesevents.com

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!

Episode #47 - Double Bonus Show: Working On Cruise Ships & Cruising The Southern Caribbean

Welcome to Episode #47!

It's a double bonus show!

On this new show we interview Amanda Hathorn-Geary from Get A Life At Sea and Don Bucolo from Eat, Sleep Cruise. 

First up, Amanda worked on cruise ships for 10 years, she shares her experience and stories what it is like to work on these ships while traveling all over the world. She also tells us how she earned 4 degrees while working on board as well.  Amanda now helps prospective clients find their perfect job on a cruise ship. We are sure are going to enjoy this informative and insightful interview as much as we have.

Our next interview is no stranger to our listeners. Don just got home from a Southern Caribbean cruise on the Royal Caribbean's Adventurer of the Seas with his wife, plus his sister-in-law and mother-in-law who were first time cruisers. And they had an exciting adventure indeed:  their ship had to navigate around Tropical Storm Erica, so their itinerary changed on this cruise, and they had to make some quick decisions what to do at these unplanned ports stops. Don tells us all about what they did and how they still had a great time despite what happen.

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 #37 - How To Have A Great Family Reunion Cruise

Welcome to Episode #37!

On this new podcast episode we talk about "How To Have A Great Family Reunion Cruise".

The Cruise Dudes have done a few family reunion cruises, so we share about what it takes to put one together and how to make it memorable. We think the best way to have a family reunion is to take a cruise! It has all the amenities, services, entertainment and food options that can appeal to everyone. There is always something fun, exciting and adventurous on board the ship and the exotic ports you can visit. The relaxing atmosphere on a cruise ship enhances relationships and will bring long last memories of a great lifetime experience. 

Have you ever done a family reunion cruise? Share your thoughts with us! Call our voice mail line or email us. 

Also on this episode, we have the latest cruise news, cruise chit chat, our themed cruise of week and Scott's embarrassing antics. 

By the way, here is the video of the guys from www.foodbeast.com that ordered everything on the room service menu on the Carnival Sunshine, that we talked about on the show:
