Key Moments

Editorial Summary

In this live stream, creators Tony and Jenny discuss various factors that might lead them to stop cruising. Tony presents a list of seven potential dealbreakers derived from a community survey, including the possibility of land vacations offering better value, excessive costs for basic amenities, and significant cutbacks in service. He specifically notes that charging for production shows and comedy entertainment would be a primary reason for him to quit. Jenny shares her perspective, noting that she would not quit due to land vacation value because she prefers the ocean and the ability to unpack only once. The conversation also touches on the impact of smoking regulations, the loss of free casino offers, and the potential for overcrowding on mega ships. The creators conclude by answering viewer questions regarding Alaska excursions, hotel recommendations in Seattle, and the differences between various cruise line amenities. They also reflect on how their personal lives and the process of raising a family eventually led them to discover a passion for cruising together.
