Travel insurance is the bomb.com.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always check your credit card's travel insurance benefits before purchasing additional coverage.

✓Book excursions third-party for better prices, but consider the convenience and safety of ship-sponsored tours.

✓Fly into LAX for easy access to Long Beach port, and consider arriving a day early to explore LA.

YouTube Video Description↓

In this wild ride of an episode, the Podcastaways crew dives into powdered alcohol smuggling attempts, haunted Long Beach ports, overpriced cruise add-ons, and whether Dog the Bounty Hunter is lurking in Hawaii. Jen leads the charge, Trevor tries to get scattered at sea (unceremoniously), and Kennedy’s Roomba collection grows dangerously sentient. Also: do you really need travel insurance? Tune in for laughs, cruise tips, and possibly a goodwill intervention.
