Creator's Key Takeaways

I would really love to do a transatlantic carnival.

We are strongly in favor of getting there a day early, even though I don't practice what I preach.

We had a huge snowstorm this week. I mean or this past weekend.

Wash your hands. Use hand sanitizer.

YouTube Video Description

Trevor is out, but the show rolls on as Tom and Jenn take the helm for a wide-ranging cruise chat packed with news, debates, and classic Podcastaways chaos. This week, we dive into Carnival Sunshine’s upcoming Africa itineraries, including historic first-ever ports like Morocco and Tanzania, plus a transatlantic sailing that has us seriously tempted. We also tackle one of cruising’s most hotly debated topics: Should you always fly in the day before your cruise? (Spoiler: yes… but with nuance.) Along the way, we cover winter weather impacts, ships returning early, snow on the Lido deck, frozen Serenity waterfalls, and why Mother Nature always laughs at cruise plans. There’s also talk of private islands, mega-ships vs. smaller ships, hand-washing truth bombs, casino etiquette, and why some cruise traditions just won’t die. Cruise news, strong opinions, and plenty of laughs—just another day aboard the Podcastaways. 🎧 Listen now and cruise smarter. 📣 Leave us a voicemail: Speakpipe.com/CarnivalCruisingPodcastaways
