Think cruises are just buffets and bingo? Think again. In this episode, hosts Joe Saul-Sehy and Crystal Hammond hoist the anchor on all your cruising questions with travel agent Donna Pelletier (we call her the cruise director!)—who's seen it all from the Lido Deck to the lifeboats. Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or still Googling “Do cruise ships have brakes?”, we’ve got you covered.
🛳️ Donna walks us through choosing the right cruise line and ship size (spoiler: not all floating cities are created equal).
🎟️ Learn the tricks to booking like a pro, from early bird perks to when upgrades are actually worth it.
🍹 We talk gratuities, drink packages, and what “all-inclusive” really means once you’re onboard.
🧳 Never lose your luggage again—thanks to packing strategies and must-have travel tech like AirTags.
🚢 Plus, tips on motion sickness, trip insurance, and excursions that don’t feel like cattle drives.
From insider tips to hilarious missteps (ours, mostly), this episode is your passport to smarter, smoother cruising.
