This week, Tommy and Tony dive into the ongoing debate over comedy, free speech, cruise entertainment, and whether some guests are simply too quick to be offended. They also discuss the latest cruise controversies, including a passenger suing Carnival after suffering burns on a hot pool deck, Royal Caribbean guests protesting after missing a glacier viewing in Alaska, questions about alcohol policies and drink packages, cruise line bans tied to social media behavior, and propulsion issues aboard Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. Plus, casino talk, cruise ship traditions that have disappeared, and a few unexpected detours into childhood ice cream trucks and cruise gambling strategies.
