This month on the podcast, we explored everything from Carnival’s newest private destinations to Princess Cruises’ newest ship, a Norwegian Fjords sailing, Bermuda, Virgin Voyages, and more.
We also released our second and final vlog in our Liberty of the Seas Guy’s Cruise vlog series on YouTube.
Here’s a quick recap of everything we covered this month, along with what’s coming next on Cruise Conversations!
