  • Love these people!

    It feels like I’ve gotten to know them and their dynamic and their story just by listening to this podcast! I didn’t know how lucky we were when Kyndall was our CD on the Jubilee in Feb 2024. We actually sailed the same time as her grandmothers birthday cruise when Joey was also on board! My husband and I were having drinks at the Golden Mermaid and little did I know that K & J were right across from us taking Fireball shots. Good times, great podcast!

  • Kyndall is the best

    I had Kyndall fire as a cruise director on the carnival Mardi Gras in April 2023 April vacation and she was the best one of the best things and you can hear in the podcast whenever she would finish her announcements she would go Byeeeeeeee! ok bye. She is absolutely awesome and I hate boats but she made it so much fun I was not even scared. One time she said to me and my brother “ Oh my boy’s” whenever she would do a announcement I would be like everyone be quiet. She is truly the best and I hop... more

  • Favorite Podcast

    Cruising is my favorite type of vacation, and all of my cruises have been with Carnival. I’m loyal lol. I board Carnival Horizon in 3 weeks and this podcast gets me even more excited. Just hearing the opposite pov of it all is really entertaining. Cruise directors make the vacation even more fun. Never had either of you as CD before but I’ve had Donkey twice and love the “voice from above” lol. Keep more episodes coming please! Love the porthole too btw lol

  • Fun Conversations!

    I love tuning in each week to listen to Kyndall and Joey. It’s fun listening to their banter and all the different perspectives they offer when it comes to all things cruising. I leave for another cruise in a few weeks and already have a list of food items to try on the boat and at certain ports. Love the behind the scenes/inside scoop they provide for all of us crazy cruisers.
