Ever wondered what happens when an entire cruise ship full of Gen Xers decide to relive the greatest decade? Wonder no more. 

In this week's episode, we're taking you aboard the 80s Cruise - where the fanny packs are unironic, the hair is big, and the hits just keep on coming. 

We're talking live concerts, old-school heartthrobs, neon everything, and a crowd that still knows every single word to every single song. Whether you're a die-hard cruise lover or someone who swore they'd never set foot on a ship, this episode may have you reconsidering your stance fast. 

Plus we have a kick ass guest sitting in with us  who just came back from her second 80s cruise and is already signed up for her third (and planning for her 4th so she can offically “graduate”.)

So is the 80’s cruise totally rad or totally bogus? Listen now and you can be the judge.
