CruiseTipsTV Unplugged - Cruise Tips and More

Cruise news gets a little weird this week! A residential cruise ship runs into serious financial trouble, leaving passengers scrambling in Cambodia. A cruise ship collides with not one, but TWO cargo ships. And Carnival's new "Crew Love" tipping stickers have cruisers scratching their heads. Join Mr. CTTV and Junior as they dive into these stories, plus the bizarre case of an Arizona surgeon whose vacation ended before he ever boarded Norwegian Jewel. We're also talking about a passenger confrontation over a canceled port visit, some surprisingly inexpensive cruise deals, and a few other stories you might have missed. It's cruise news, rumors, unusual passenger experiences, and a bit of humor, all from two guys who love cruising and aren't afraid to have a little fun with it.

What's it really like to experience Alaska by land AND sea? This week, Junior joins me to recap our 11-night Holland America Alaska CruiseTour, from Fairbanks and Denali to our southbound cruise aboard Nieuw Amsterdam. We're talking about the McKinley Explorer, whitewater rafting, ATVs, Glacier Bay, our favorite shore excursions, incredible wildlife, what surprised us about the land portion, and whether we'd choose to do a CruiseTour again.
