Episode Details

Carnival is giving cruisers stickers for prepaying their gratuities—but is it a clever incentive or an awkward way to single people out? Tony and Tommy debate the idea, and one of them might actually change his mind.

Plus, we discuss the Villa Vie crisis and its impact on residents, what cruise loyalty is worth when benefits get suspended, and how cruise lines keep finding ways to get us spending more onboard. We also tackle dining room dress codes, nonstop ship announcements, and the risks of bringing prohibited items on a cruise.

Along the way: a coffee-and-cookie dispute, questionable cruise director jokes, and the cruises we're looking forward to next.

Find Tommy on the Always Be Booked Cruise Podcast and Tony on YouTube at La Lido Loca.
