## Resource

In this episode of Cruise Talk Weekly, Tommy shares one of the wildest cruise stories we've ever heard — booking a cruise just hours before departure and barely making it onboard in time. But once the adventure began, things didn't exactly go smoothly… We break down: The unbelievable same-day cruise booking story Racing to the port and boarding at the last possible second Visiting the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao) Why Bonaire might be the hidden gem Mechanical issues on Carnival Horizon A brutal 2+ hour debarkation Buffet quality debate and cruise food trends The strangest issue of all… missing shower heads?! It's a mix of cruise luck, chaos, and commentary you won't want to miss. 📩 Have a question for the show?
