- Cruise news and laughs
Buried in the daily dose of humor and commentary, Tom actually keeps you informed about what is going on in the cruise and travel industry. No need to read long boring press releases; Tom reports on the relevant and ridiculous. The podcast keeps me connected somehow as I count down the days until I walk up the gangway on my next cruise.

The only reason I still listen is occ... more
