This week on Carnival Cruising Podcastaways, Trevor, Jenn, and Thomas are back together and, thankfully, all survived another week without medical emergencies (hydration saves lives).

The crew dives into Carnival’s latest price increases, including changes to Bottomless Bubbles and gratuities, and debates whether four sodas a day is a lifestyle choice or a cry for help. Things escalate when they discuss a five-year-old Royal Caribbean cruiser with over 700 loyalty points, raising serious questions about gaming the system, suite math, and who is really in charge of the ship.

They also cover:

• Drink packages, soda economics, and age discrimination (allegedly)

• Drug-sniffing dogs, port security horror stories, and thrift-store luggage mishaps

• Build-A-Bear regret at sea

• Party cruises gone very wrong

• Why you should never assume you’ll remember repacking your bag with dignity

It’s cruise news, questionable math, and classic Podcastaways banter—all in one voyage.

🎧 Buckle up, hydrate, and maybe skip the fourth soda.
