Cruise Choice: Splurge or Extra Cruise? What's Your Pick?
No long explanations, just gut answers. Anthony & Katie put themselves on the spot with a rapid-fire cruise this-or-that, tackling the real decisions that can completely change your vacation. Would you rather splurge on one big trip or take an extra cruise a year? Hit the private-island water park or find a quiet beach? Sail a brand-new mega-ship or an older ship you can learn in a day? Book everything ahead or wing it onboard? And when you have to choose, do you take the better ship or the better itinerary? We force ourselves to pick a side, talk through the real-world tradeoffs behind each choice, and get one answer that even surprised us. Plus, we share a story about watching a private island get built and how much the cruise experience has changed since then. ▶ From the full episode: **“The Mainline Showdown: Royal Caribbean vs Carnival vs Norwegian vs MSC”** — Past the Gangway with Anthony & Katie. 🧭 Planning a cruise?
