    Carnival Rewards Confusion, the Breeze Kisses a Pier, and Galveston Pier Changes (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Fifteen days out and the Golden Crew is fully unraveling. Tom is convinced Trevor and Jen are colluding against him, Jen discovers her Status Progress says "Red," and Trevor sets a 10:50 PM alarm for the first time in his adult life just to be first through online check-in. The new Carnival Rewards program went live and the internet lost its mind — Platinum members logging in to find zero points and a "Status Progress: Gold" banner, Diamonds wondering if they'd been demoted, and the crew works t

    A Cruise Out of Tulsa, a Backpack Full of Goodwill Shoes, and a Turtle With a Problem (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Two weeks in a row! Jen made it through a whole episode, mostly, and only got mad about the cruise she isn't going on. Trevor is one week from check-in, Tom did not post Flat Jen, and there are consequences coming for that. John Heald had to remind everyone on Facebook that crew members are not permitted to accept homemade food — sealed and packaged is fine, mystery Tupperware is not — and the crew debates whether this is a health-code thing or a those brownies were loaded thing. He also address

    The Carnival Valor Made a Turn Nobody On Deck Was Ready For (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Jen's back from jury duty, which she insists was more important than this show (it was), and she has strong opinions about a burrito in downtown Stockton. In her absence, Trevor and Tom recorded an episode with seven guests — John Heald, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Dog the Bounty Hunter — and then refused to release it out of spite. You'll have to take their word for it. On the actual news desk: Princess is moving final payment on longer sailings from 90 days out to 120, with deposits climbing

    Carnival's Hull-Cleaning Robot, NCL's 19-Slide Water Park, and a Gangway Overboard (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Jen's back! After a Day One that ended with a Cartman GIF and a "screw you guys, I'm going home," the Golden Crew is finally three-strong again — and immediately gets distracted by Christmas trees in August, a heart-having cat named Flinty, and Trevor's alleged palace of multiple living rooms. Then, actual cruise news: Carnival Pride is testing Jotun's Hull Skater, a robot that crawls the ship's hull scraping off slime and barnacles (basically a Roomba with a job, and the crew has thoughts about

    Things No Veteran Cruiser Has Ever Said (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The Golden Crew is back at full strength! Jen returns from two weeks on Kauai with a full scouting report on Puka Dog (verdict: not a sandwich, don't ask Thomas), Trevor discovers Peruvian food in DC and spends his trip pointing at monuments, and Tom... stayed home. Sorry, Bub. This week's main event: things you will NEVER hear a veteran cruiser say. "I wish they'd bring back the old muster drill." "That short line must be guest services." "I put my passport in my checked luggage." "That hot tub
