6 Things I Would NEVER Do On Holland America. Nor Should You! (Podcast #571)


I just spent 44 out of the last 60 days living on board Holland America ships, and I saw passengers making the same expensive mistakes over and over again. From missing out on the best food to overpaying for their cabins, most people aren't getting the full value of their cruise. In this video, I’m sharing the insider rules I live by to ensure every Holland America sailing is perfect—and easier on the wallet.

Secrets The Crew Want Us To Know About (And Some They DON’T!) (Podcast #490)


It took a lot of coaxing — and in some cases, waiting until crew had left life at sea — to uncover what actually happens behind the scenes on a cruise ship that most passengers have no idea about, and how they work. And how by knowing passengers can use it to improve their cabin and cruise These are the insider insights that most passengers never hear — but once you know them, you’ll cruise very differently.

What I Wish I’d Known BEFORE Doing A Machu Picchu Excursion Off A Cruise! (Podcast #570)


I abandoned my ship mid-cruise for three days to see one of the most iconic sights in the world: Machu Picchu. But after booking an eye-wateringly expensive $5,000 excursion with Holland America, I started to realise just how much could go wrong. Machu Picchu is not a simple shore excursion. It’s over 300 miles inland, deep in the Andes, and getting there requires a tightly choreographed chain of flights, buses, trains, and timed entry tickets. One delay, one missed connection, or a bout of altitude sickness, and the whole costly trip could unravel. In this video, I take you along on my journey from the MS Oosterdam in Lima to the "Lost City of the Incas." Join me as I discover if this was an incredible, never-to-forget adventure or a stressful, $5,000 mistake.

I No Longer Recommend These 4 Cruise Tips. Here's Why (Podcast #569)


For years, I’ve shared what I believed were the smartest cruise tips—strategies that worked time and time again. But on my most recent cruise, something surprising happened. By doing the opposite of what I used to recommend, I walked straight through embarkation with no lines, no waiting… and was in my cabin within minutes. It made me question everything. Are some of the most widely shared cruise tips now completely outdated? In this video, I take a hard look at several long-standing pieces of cruise advice—ones I’ve personally recommended for years—and reveal why they may no longer work the way they once did. Cruising has changed. Ships are fuller, demand is higher, and the way cruise lines operate is evolving fast. And that means some of the “rules” many cruisers still follow could actually be costing time, money, and even enjoyment. If you’re planning a cruise—or already have one booked—this could completely change how you approach it.

No-One Warns Solo Cruisers About These Based On The 87 I’ve Done (Podcast #489)


Solo cruising is getting harder… and most people haven’t noticed yet. After 87 solo cruises, I’m seeing some big changes that could make cruising alone more expensive, more limited — and in some cases, much less enjoyable. In this video, I reveal what’s really going on behind the scenes… and what I now do differently to make solo cruising still work - including the success I have had and what I do to avoid paying double and the same price for two people. If you cruise solo — or are thinking about it — this is something you need to know.

If I Could Only Do 10 Cruises In My Lifetime, These Are The Ones I’d Do (Podcast #487)


If I could only cruise 10 more times in my life… these are the ones I would choose. After 20+ years and 128 cruises, I’ve discovered that not all cruises are created equal. Some are enjoyable… but others are truly life-changing. In this video, I count down the ocean cruises that stand above all others — the ones I believe every serious traveller should have on their bucket list. These aren’t just popular itineraries. These are journeys that deliver unforgettable wildlife encounters, breathtaking scenery, iconic maritime experiences, and moments that genuinely change how you see the world. But there’s a twist. Along the way, I also reveal why three cruises most people think belong on a bucket list… actually don’t — and what you should do instead. From dramatic glaciers and remote polar regions, to culturally rich destinations and one-of-a-kind ocean experiences, this is based entirely on what I’ve personally experienced — paying my own way, just like you.

I've Cruised All 5 "Small Ship Luxury" Lines. No-One Warns You About This! (Podcast #566)


In the last few years, I’ve cruised on all five of the major Small Ship Luxury cruise lines — multiple times on each — and I discovered something most cruisers are never told. They may all be grouped together by the industry, but they deliver very different experiences. In this video I put the five head-to-head: Oceania Cruises, Viking Ocean Cruises, Explora Journeys, Windstar Cruises, and Azamara I reveal: ✔️ Where each one genuinely shines ✔️ The weaknesses most brochures don’t highlight ✔️ What catches Premium cruisers out when they “upgrade” ✔️ How they compare to Ultra-Luxury lines ✔️ Who should — and absolutely should NOT — cruise on each
