  • Amazing and Comprehensive Cruise Podcast

    My husband and I listen to this podcast every morning as we carpool into work it’s such a great opportunity to pretend we are on a cruise ship before starting the day. Brian and Sam do a great job I love this podcast and I love my husband!

  • Thank you!

    I started listening to your great podcast back in late January when, after seeing pictures I had posted of our cruise on the beautiful Disney Treasure, Tracey Ondrejko recommended it to me. I loved listening to relive our Disney cruises through your and your guests’ stories but really made use of your backlog of episodes to plan our Alaskan Cruise on Princess in July. Thanks for all the great information you are putting out there.

  • Very helpful!

    Such a great show with lots of good tips to make your sailing even better. I love the banter they have with their guests. Excellent in comparing other cruise lines and they are not afraid to tell it like it is. Thanks Sam & Brian (and Nathan) for feeding my DCL addiction 😉
