  • Only about Carnival and Royal

    They talk as if they are reviewing cruising from across multiple cruise lines but every thing they say is about Carnival or Royal only. This is especially egregious in the dining episode but is true of the what they like about cruising episode too. I think they maybe haven’t been on other cruise lines so they don’t know what applies to other cruise lines or not. They should just change the name of the podcast to make it clear that one likes Carnival and one likes Royal and that they are experts ... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

" Best of Greece" Celebrity Infinity Recap w/ Elizabeth
Q: What were the standout port experiences and any memorable on-board activities?
Key moments included Hydra's serene, car-free vibe and the dramatic views in Santorini, along with engaging on-board activities like murder mystery games and the ship's social dining dynamic, which allowed flexible dining without long waits.
" Best of Greece" Celebrity Infinity Recap w/ Elizabeth
Q: How did the ship and cabin choice affect your experience?
They chose a concierge class balcony cabin, appreciating the added perks like champagne and snacks, the convenient location near the buffet, and the ease of moving around a classic, smaller ship.
" Best of Greece" Celebrity Infinity Recap w/ Elizabeth
Q: What drew you to this specific Greek Isles itinerary and the Celebrity Infinity?
Elizabeth explains that the Med itinerary offered a balance of iconic ports with a ship that could access smaller ports, plus a sense of relaxed pacing that suited a couple's honeymoon-style trip and a desire to combine culture with downtime.
Symphony of the Seas Review w/ The Davises Travel | Roaring Riot Cruise
Q: How did you decide to allocate time and spend on add-ons like the Royal Beach Club and Izumi Hibachi during the sailing?
We weighed the value of bundled experiences (food, drink, and access) against standalone costs, finding that for Nassau and the Beach Club, the all-in package offered a good balance of amenities and access, while Izumi Hibachi added a special dining experience that we prioritized when available on the itinerary.
Norwegian Breakaway Review: Boston to Halifax & Bermuda w/ Pam
Q: What stood out most about the Breakaway's entertainment and crowd levels on sea days?
The ensemble was incredibly talented, with a strong lineup including Rumors and Burn the Floor; however, venues—especially Headliners—felt crowded due to ship density. We appreciated the balance of main theater shows and smaller events, and enjoyed watching World Cup games across multiple venues.
