In our look back at our (nearly) first year of the Suite Natured Cruise Cast, we've put together our favourite bits, and some of our favourite (or least favourite) "Mood Music".
With contributions from many of our special guest co-hosts too.
Ever wondered if a catchy intro track could make or break a podcast episode? We certainly have, and our quest to find the perfect mood music has taken us on a wild ride, from the swashbuckling notes of Pirates of the Caribbean to the unexpected charm of an '80s sitcom theme. Join us as we share our musical misadventures and a hilarious tale from a recent cruise to Albania with Virgin Voyages that involved an impromptu wine hangar tour. It’s all about embracing the quirky side of travel and podcasting with a smile.
Indulge your taste buds as we recount our culinary adventures aboard various cruise lines, where the bread at the Veranda Restaurant and a cardamom-infused bread and butter pudding from Sindhu reign supreme. Our gastronomic journey wouldn't be complete without a nod to the exceptional risotto from the Eden Restaurant. Of course, we can't help but vent about the sky-high prices and relentless upselling at cruise spas. Our passion for cruising began with unforgettable experiences on Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas and NCL Epic, and we’re excited to share those cherished moments with you.
For those wondering about the true value of butler services or the practicality of drink packages, our candid chat covers it all. From a laugh-out-loud incident involving a cheese box to the perils of keeping clothes clean amidst oil spills, our experiences highlight the ups and downs of cruise life. Dive into our discussion on the pricing frustrations surrounding onboard drink packages and how some shrewd Black Friday deals helped ease the sting. With an upcoming trip on the Queen Victoria on the horizon, we're all set for new adventures and more stories to tell.
