Welcome to episode #109! It's been a rough couple of weeks. Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria and now the horrific tragedy in Las Vegas. Scott and I take some time to share just some thoughts and how all of this has affected us and our families the last few weeks. We are thankful and grateful that our Florida relatives did not suffer great damage or injury. However, sadly, so many others were affected by these tragedies in life changing ways. How do we respond? What should we do? We discuss these things and then change gears slightly to talk about some of the good things we have notice that cruise lines have done to help those affected by the recent hurricanes. We are all in this together. We need each other. Let's try to find a way help each other other out through all of this. * * * * * Please don't forget our new interactive digital magazine app, Seawind!

Welcome to episode #108! We took some time to look at and discuss how the cruise lines have responded to Hurricane Harvey and how they are preparing for Hurricane Irma - and possibly Jose and Katia. Overall, we think that all of the cruise lines are taking every precaution available. It appears that they have communicated well with their guests and safety is the number one priority. In the short term, the cruise lines will take a financial hit because it will take awhile to reopen the ports, airports, etc. There is no way at this time to know how much damage these hurricanes might bring to the infrastructure of Florida and how long it will take to repair. However, we think that the cruise lines will rebound over time because they put the safety of their guests first.

Welcome to episode #102! One of the hottest topics on cruise message boards are cruise ship dress code guidelines for the main dining room. It seems that every cruiser has an opinion about the tradition, what constitutes "formal" wear, and a myriad other thoughts about the subject. On this new episode, we discuss Royal Caribbean's new guidelines and how they were received by cruise enthusiasts. It is definitely a hot button among cruisers and I am sure we just scratched the surface. What are your thoughts? Let us know by email or call our voice mail line and we will share it on a upcoming show. Also on this show we are glad to have back Amanda from GetALifeAtSea.com to share with us an update on Royal Caribbean's lifeguard program rolling out fleetwide.
