Hot Issues Dividing Cruisers RIGHT NOW! (Podcast #459)

9/18/2023
On my last cruise, a Windstar Fjords cruise, I posted clips on Instagram of the best attended event of my entire cruise. It immediately ignited a fiery, lively, and divided debate about if the event was a good idea or not.

So, let's find out where you stand on these right now as I suspect that, like me, your stand is shifting as we face a new world of cruising. https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellershttps://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers

Now this ship only holds 312 passengers, and they claim to be the market leading small ship line and have both these yacht style engine-driven ships that I went on, but they also have sailing vessels as well. https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellershttps://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers
