The Cruise Dudes Podcast

Welcome to episode #160!

 

We are so happy to have on our show another great interview for you.

 

YouTube Video Cruise Personality, Emma from "Cruising Isn't Just For Old People" shares with us her interesting research findings about how cruising might be changing due to COVID-19. In fact, she has a few extra things she shared on our show that was not in her video. 

 

See Emma's video below!

 

 

We all know that the cruise industry is now in uncharted territory and we can expect lots of new requirements to cruises, ongoing health testings, cleaning procedures, social distancing  practices, seating arrangements, food handling and more. 

 

 

As we navigate our way through these new practices, we wonder if this our "new normal" or are these going to be temporary? Will a vaccine revert us back to the times we loved and enjoyed? 

 
What are your thoughts? What kind of changes do you expect? Let us know! 
 

Be sure to follow Emma here:

 

 

 

We hope you enjoy the show!

 

Keep On Cruising!

Welcome to episode #159!

We have a very special interview today with Jason Beukema, founder of Whet Travel and the Groove Cruise, the premier electronic dance music chartered cruise vacation event!

Starting with an idea, a passion for music and a personal financial risk, Jason launched the first Groove Cruise over 15 years ago and has built a community and a loyal family of electronic dance music fans. From his humble beginnings of his first event to now, chartering entire cruise ships, Jason shares with us his inspirational stories of entrepreneurism, the planning and logistics of a successful chartered cruise event, to volunteerism and much more. 

Jason's company, Whet Travel, has grown tremendously and also produces Groove Island, Salsa Cruise, Shiprocked Cruise, Motörhead Motorboat Cruise, Dice Tower Cruise and more. 

We hope that this interview will inspire you to do something new and exciting.

Also, make plans to join Jason and his Groove Cruise Family on the biggest cruise ship on the west coast, the Norwegian Bliss, Oct. 15th - 18th, 2020! Groove Cruise Cali -2020!

Welcome to episode #158!


On this new episode, we welcome back our very special friend Matt Hochberg from the Royal Caribbean blog. He is one of the most informed cruisers who lives and breathes Royal Caribbean cruise ships. 

 

We have brought him back on to the show to give us the inside scoop on what Royal Caribbean is doing during this time of pause from cruising. Matt also shares about his very last cruise to Coco Cay's new private beach and cabana resort that just recently opened. It sounds amazing. I think we need to book a Royal Caribbean cruise very soon!

 

If you love cruising on Royal Caribbean, we highly recommend you visit his blog that has timely updates, forum boards, videos, podcasts and more.
