Carnival Costco Partnership, ROCKER SPEAKS ABOUT INCIDENT, Royal Adds Star Cruise | The Cruise Show
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
In the inaugural episode of The Cruise Show, Tony introduces a new multi-format presentation designed for both video and audio audiences. He begins by discussing recent maritime incidents involving wind, noting that the Holland America Westerdam, Norwegian Epic, and MSC Seascape all experienced mooring or gangway issues due to heavy gusts. The creator then addresses a controversy involving a TikToker who was banned for life by Carnival after posting a video about smuggling items, which the creator notes she claims was juice rather than alcohol. He also revisits a tragic incident from an 80s cruise, sharing new comments from musician Tammy Down regarding the death of his partner, Kimberly Burch. Moving to industry news, Tony reports that Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas has completed sea trials and added preview sailings. He provides an update on the Regal Princess, which recently underwent an engine block replacement in the Netherlands. Finally, the episode covers the Bahamas' efforts to renegotiate tax agreements with cruise lines to capture more revenue from the massive influx of tourists, and concludes with a lighthearted discussion about a fan suggestion for a Carnival and Costco partnership.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I just don't remember a scenario where we've had three ships break free within such a short period of time.
I think you can be sad for the tragedy, but at the same time, I think you can go on and have a good time.
I'm excited to be on Star of the Seas. I didn't I haven't sailed on Icon yet, so I'm excited to experience that Icon class.
Costco rotisserie chicken is good, but if you put Costco rotisserie chicken in front of me and Win Dixie rotisserie chicken in front of me and Sam's rotisserie chicken in front of me, I don't know that I could tell you the difference.
