Welcome to Episode #43!
Labor Day has passed us by and now we take some time to give our listeners our
"news blast" of what's been happening in the cruise industry this past summer. Of course, Scott always has a opinion, a bad idea, or some half brain scheme about every story. (Guess who is writing the show notes?)
Actually, the future of cruising is very bright and yet competitive.
Cruise lines will have to make the investment into larger ships that will have to have more amenities, services, specialty restaurants, activities, water slides, custom pools and unique experiences to "wow" veteran cruisers and entice new first time cruisers.
And lets not forget that the Asia market for cruising is expanding and growing very rapidly. If you have ever wanted to visit China or Japan, the cruise lines are building ships expressly for this region. Expect to hear more about that in the coming year.
These things along with competitive pricing and customer appreciation and loyalty programs will hopefully, the cruise lines think, develop long term relationships that will bring guests back year after year to spend their vacation time on a cruise ship.
In the end, we believe that cruising is best value for your vacation dollars because the competition between the cruise lines are fierce and that benefits you, the consumer.
Our podcast strives to share and promote the cruise lifestyle around the world and we think the future of cruising bright and we intend to be there to share it with you!

Thank you! Tommy & Scott

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:
