  • So helpful!

    Krystal is fun to listen to. She’s excited about the topic and very knowledgeable. In researching a cruise for my family I found the content to be very helpful. Update February 2026: We went on our very first family cruise and I really appreciated being able to listen to the Luxury Cruising Podcast in preparation for the cruise.

    Growing up going on cruises (and now being a fellow physician like Dr Sodaitis) I find this show super interesting, and a topic that has not gotten a lot of attention. Strong work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Grand Princess Penthouse Suite Review | Ep 39
Q: What is your definition of luxury?
Luxury means everything being done for you—having others handle daily tasks, dining, tipping, and even mundane routines—so you can simply be spoiled and enjoy the moment without adulting. The speaker emphasizes the relief of not needing to manage logistics and the joy of a truly carefree experience.
Cruise Viking in Your 20s | Ep 29
Q: What made you decide on this Viking river itinerary and Bordeaux in particular?
We chose the Bordeaux route because of our love of wine and the desire to visit multiple small towns along the Gironde region, which isn't feasible by car. It also aligned with our plan to see more of Europe's intimate towns rather than sticking to a single hotel base.
Royal Caribbean Sky Class Secrets | Ep 35
Q: Let me ask you a couple of questions I ask everyone. How do you define luxury?
Luxury means being spoiled rotten, not having to lift a finger, and knowing someone is looking out for every detail so you can enjoy a worry-free vacation.
Crystal Serenity Review | Ep 40
Q: How do you define luxury?
Luxury, as described, is stepping on board where expectations are surpassed by an effortless, highly attentive service, with brands and experiences so refined that you feel both at home and royalty.
Carnival Marti Gras Excel Suite | Ep 62
Q: And the first is, how do you define luxury?
Luxury means a frictionless, easy experience where you feel special, exclusive, and welcomed, and where staff anticipate needs and treat kids especially well, making the whole trip feel effortless and rewarding.
