    Really great insights into what’s going on in cruising. Fun and enjoyable with the odd tangent which adds to it. Fantastic dynamics between Tommy and Tony.

  • Awesome

    Loving you two together. I’ve been a Tommy ABB fan for a while. The casual, long form format of this show is excellent. As you guys recently discussed, I’m becoming a jaded cruiser. The crowds, and never-ending price increases have pushed me back to more land-based vacations. I’m hoping it reaches a tipping point soon, because I love being on the water.

  • Great time with a couple of cool guys

    Been a fan of La Lido videos with Tony for a bit and just getting to know Tommy, digging his down to earth, Long Island style.

    Really love the back and forth, with conversation that veers on and off the topic of cruising.

    On a side note, Tommy’s Always Be Booked (ABB) motto inspired me to go ahead and book my first cruise in almost 30 years. I figured wth, why not? It’s not until November but the anticipation is wonderful!

    Keep up the great work gents! See you on the high seas!
