With school now back in session and as we are entering into Fall, we take some time to share about our summer vacations. Scott and his first mate Pam, sailed on the Navigator of the Seas to Mexico for a time of relaxation and fun. Then Scott flew back East to join up with his daughter Dyllen for a road trip with a stop at the Niagra Falls. And they even took an exhilarating boat cruise to the bottom edge of the majestic falls. What memorable and incredible experiences! Enjoy the new show! - Tommy & Scott

Part One! Welcome to a conversation with my friend and travel buddy Michelle Young. We, along with our spouses, had a cruise vacation of a lifetime. This was Michelle and her husband Tom, first cruise to the last frontier, the majestic state of Alaska. We had the exciting privilege of cruising again on the luxurious and stunning Discovery Princess, sailing us to breathtaking sceneries, ports of call, food, shopping and exciting experiences. There is so much to share, there will be a part two! Enjoy the show! ^Tommy     #cruise #cruising #alaska #discoveryprincess #princesscruises #ketchikan #juneau #skagway #victoria #podcast  #theloveboat #travel #vacation #holiday

It was a cruise like no other! On this new episode, Tommy shares about his family’s experiences on the Discovery Princess to the Mexican Riviera for the April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse.  This cruise was sold out for two years and Princess Cruises made this cosmic event very special in many different and exciting ways for their guests.  And watching a total solar eclipse from a cruise ship is experience like no other. It was a highlight of our lives that our family cherished together and will never forget. Thank you Princess Cruises for making this phenomenal cruise possible! Enjoy the show! - Tommy & Scott 

We are back with part two examining the suspiciously clickbait article titled "What A Cruise Is Really Like - Fantasy Versus Reality" by Nicole Castelino. It is very apparent that this was written by AI and not by a real travel/cruise writer. This poorly written article was published to draw readers who are drawn into fake drama and negative stories, with unsupported "facts". This article's sole purpose is to create controversy to feed the search engines algorithyms that like negative stories, videos, etc. We are exposing their tactics.

Keep On Cruising!

Scott recently ran across a blog post about cruising with a suspiciously clickbait title "What A Cruise Is Really Like - Fantasy Versus Reality" by Nicole Castelino. We take a dive and read through this article which was full of straw man arguments, untrue accusations and just poor writing about cruising. Why was this even published? Who is Nicole Castelino? What is Livstyl.com all about? It became more apparent as we read through this "article" we felt that an AI bot wrote this. Is this the future of cruise blogging? Listen and let's discuss. Share with us your thoughts on this show.

Keep On Cruising!
