It’s just Trevor, Tom, and Jenn on deck this week—and things get real weird, real fast. We kick things off by confessing the one thing we’ve each tried on a cruise and absolutely hated (hint: snails and slow check-ins don’t mix). From there, we stumble into the great passport photo debate—should you smile, or should you look like your soul left on embarkation day?

We also talk about Carnival’s new hardline stance on booze smugglers (spoiler alert: you could get banned), and share our own strategies for sipping smart while staying within the rules.

And then—finally—a podcast mystery gets solved thanks to a Speakpipe voicemail that had us crying with laughter. Toilet talk? Maybe. Worth it? Definitely.

All this, plus Jenn’s now-official nickname for Christine Duffy... "The Dove."

It's a Platinum Boys Special! Trevor and Mr. Kennedy are at the helm today, discussing Carnival Cruise Line's newest announcements and upcoming changes. They're diving into the updates on Carnival's loyalty program, including exciting discussions on new ship names, upcoming Excel-class vessels, and the mysterious "Project Ace." Listen as they debate potential ship names, speculate on loyalty program tiers, and hilariously navigate the news with plenty of laughs and cruise-loving banter. Don’t miss the chance to hear Trevor's thoughts on becoming a permanent blue card holder and his playful jabs at Mr. Kennedy!

This week on Carnival Cruising Podcastaways, Tom, Jenn, and Trevor are serving up another helping of cruise chaos—with a side of mayo, a handful of shrimp, and one very overpriced cocktail.

Join the crew as they dig into:

• Carnival’s internet pricing and why it’s not just “because the ship already has it”

• New arcade deals that might have led to a claw machine victory

• A speakerpipe shoutout from our new Aussie field reporter, Tim (we see you, Tim!)

• Texans demanding Duke’s mayo at sea—and the controversial fry dipping culture war

• Milkshakes, miracles, and why Megan deserves a free cruise

• Carnival’s paid internship program for high schoolers and future fun ship workers

Also: The team starts planning CCP Group Cruise 8 to Australia, discusses fried gizzards vs. avocado toast, and wonders… is a stale testicle really the worst that can happen on a cruise?

🎧 It’s another unpredictable ride on the high seas of fun with the Golden Crew!
