    I Put Cunard's Controversial Class-Based Cruising To The Test (Podcast #480)

    Cunard has the reputation of being the most class-based cruise line sailing today, keeping alive the tradition of grand old ocean liners from the Titanic era had of giving First-Class passengers, or what Cunard now call “The Grills”, a more rounded and top-notch experience vastly superior to that of all other guests.But is that the reality. I reveal what it is really like and why

    So Many Repositioning Cruisers Get These 5 Things Wrong (Podcast #480)

    So Many Repositioning Cruisers Get These 5 Things Wrong (Podcast #480)

    Cruise lines charge less per day for repositioning cruises than ANY of their other cruises, making them some of the most inexpensive and appealing to many cruisers. But I’ve met so many people on them discovering too late that being inexpensive alone is not a good reason for doing them, as they’d been caught out or fallen into some traps. The same ones I see repeatedly.

    I Test Norwegian's Latest Ships To See Why Cruisers So Unhappy (Podcast #478)

    I Test Norwegian's Latest Ships To See Why Cruisers So Unhappy (Podcast #478)

    I met so many regular Norwegian cruisers on my Norwegian Viva cruise that disliked this new Prima class of Norwegian Cruise Line ships that I started wondering if Norwegian had actually gone out of their way to create a new type of ship they knew current cruisers wouldn’t like! Perhaps to attract different cruisers, perhaps cruisers like me. I’m not a regular Norwegian cruiser, largely because I’ve not been a fan of the Norwegian ships I’ve been on, but this ship did some things so differently it made me rethink my position, as you will hear.

    I Put The Newest First Class "Ship-Within-A-Ship" To The Test (Podcast #477)

    I Put The Newest First Class "Ship-Within-A-Ship" To The Test (Podcast #477)

    Just before my much anticipated and costly $1,800 a night cruise in Norwegian Viva’s all-suite Haven, “Cruise with Ben and David”, one of the leading YouTube cruise channels, released a critical review raising many issues and complaints about it. So many that friends of mine suggested I cancel, as they knew that it was THE most expensive Mediterranean cruise I had ever booked. As it was so costly, I was really torn but in the end I decided to risk it hoping that as they'd been on the maiden voyage, things might have improved. This is what I discovered.

    4 Things You Should NEVER Buy From Your Cruise Line! (Podcast #476)

    Cruise lines are banking on us not shopping around and discovering that some non-cruise line alternatives not only cost less, but are better, safer, and more comprehensive. Including as you will hear, one that I think will totally surprise you.

Helpful tips; a bit cruise centric lately

I love the truly practical tips, especially for anyone who’s done little travel. One of the best tips is the DK eyewitness travel guides. They are spectacular! Most episodes lately have seemed overwhelmingly cruise centric, which is ironic considering how late he came to the cruise game, but again the tips are extremely helpful and practical. Love the English accent but would also find it helpful if the information was a bit less Eurocentric. Overall, keep up the good work.

LOVE!

I just recently discovered Gary and I have to say, I love his content! I’ve listened to a lot of travel podcasts, and I agree with other reviewers who find him refreshing in a saturated market of self-aggrandizing.
