Episode #48 - Family Entertainment, Experiences & Activities

Welcome to Episode #48!

We are back and the holiday season is upon us. Can you believe that 2015 is almost over and 2016 is right around the corner? Incredible! 

On this new show, Scott and I discuss the family entertainment options and experiences on Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines, specifically, the licensed characters from Dr. Seuss and DreamWorks and how they incorporate the characters along with children's activities, unique spaces on the ship, with parades, shows, movies, photo opportunities, dining experiences and more. 

Carnival and Royal Caribbean are moving forward and are aggressively promoting these special interactive opportunities with these well known children's characters on board their ships. We expect to see in future advertising and marketing materials these licensed characters being used to draw potential cruise decisions. And why not?  On a cruise ship, you will have a much more intimate and quality experience than in a theme park. Undoubtedly, these experiences have huge potential for the cruise lines and we expect them to make further investments into these licensed characters with the addition of unique spaces and more on board ships in the coming years ahead. 

Also on this show we have cruise news, cruise chit chat, and our theme cruise of the week! It's an action packed show of cruising goodness, we hope you will enjoy it! Feel free to contact us and ask any questions, we will answer them on a future show. 

We appreciate our listeners and their support of our show - you are the best!

Happy Cruising!

Tommy & Scott

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.

This cruise was with his mother, (her first cruise ever) and she was celebrating with her former high school friends a class reunion cruise. Scott shares his experiences with these seniors and what to expect when you cruise and travel with someone who has mobility issues. There is a lot of good information, insight, and fun on this show.

Check back later for photos and a review from Scott.

Also on this new show, we have cruise news, cruise chit chat, theme cruise of the week, listener email, and our opinions, of course.
