This week on Cruise Conversations, Michael is back from a 7-night cruise aboard Carnival Celebration and sharing a full review of his second time sailing the ship and third cruise aboard Carnival's Excel Class.What was originally planned as a family vacation unexpectedly turned into a solo cruise, and the adventure started before Michael even made it onboard when his checked bag never left Charlotte. From navigating three days without his luggage to returning to Celebration Key, exploring the waterfalls of Amber Cove, and making the trek to Jack's Shack in Grand Turk, there's plenty to unpack from this sailing.We also dive into what's changed aboard Carnival Celebration since Michael last sailed her, including dining, entertainment, crowds, service, and whether the ship remains one of his favorites.In this episode, we cover:A full Carnival Celebration cruise reviewWhy flying in the day before your cruise mattersReturning to Celebration Key for a full dayThe Damajagua Waterfalls in Amber CoveVisiting Jack's Shack in Grand TurkDining around Carnival CelebrationTrying a Carnival Kitchen cooking classEntertainment, comedy, nightlife & sea daysStaying in a Cove Balcony on Deck 5Whether Carnival Celebration is still one of his favorite cruise shipsOne of the biggest surprises of the week?

Lyrikal and Mickael Marabou join Angela Yee and the Lip Service crew for a conversation rooted in Caribbean culture, sex, relationships, music, and everything in between. They break down why sex can still be such a taboo topic in Caribbean households despite how sensual the music and dancing may seem, and explain why Carnival culture is often misunderstood by people on the outside. The conversation gets into dating entertainers, jealousy, boundaries, and knowing what comes with your partner’s lifestyle. Lyrikal shares how he balances performing with respecting his relationships, while the crew debates whether jealousy has any place when you’re dating someone in entertainment. They also discuss bridging the gap between Afro-Caribbean sounds, the challenges Haitian artists face breaking into the mainstream, and the importance of exposing audiences to Caribbean cultures beyond what they already know. Of course, things get competitive when the crew debates which Caribbean country has the best food and whether Jamaican culture’s global dominance means it’s actually the best—or simply the best marketed. Later, the crew weighs in on loyalty, friendship, betrayal, and whether you can remain cool with someone who crossed one of your close friends. From Carnival and culture to love, loyalty, music, and relationships, this episode brings plenty of Caribbean pride—and plenty to debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're wrapping up our orchestra series with the loudest, most colorful family of all — percussion. Over the last few episodes, we've built an orchestra together one family at a time. We met the strings, then the woodwinds, then the brass. This week we're adding the fourth and final family, and I saved a fun one for last. Here's the thing about percussion — it's not one special way of making sound, like bowing or breathing or buzzing. It's any instrument you play by hitting it, shaking it, scraping it, or tapping it. Which means this family is enormous. Drums, cymbals, triangles, tambourines, xylophones, gongs, cowbells, even a slide whistle — if you can imagine striking it, some composer somewhere has written music for it. To keep it simple, we sort the whole family into two groups: unpitched percussion (the instruments that keep the beat but don't play a melody, like a snare drum or crashing cymbals) and pitched percussion (the instruments that can actually play a tune, like a xylophone or timpani). And then there's a twist I saved for the very end of the episode — an instrument almost every one of you has sitting in your living room right now, and it's part of the percussion family too. (If you've been following along with us at home, I bet you can guess what it is before you even hit play.) What You'll Hear in This Episode Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (Episode 21) — percussion taking over the finale with crashing cymbals, booming bass drum, and even cannons The dramatic ending of Peter and the Wolf (Episode 122) — where the hunters' gunshots are actually the timpani and bass drum "Fossils" from Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals (Episode 157) — a xylophone rattling out an eerily perfect melody A little reveal about the instrument so many of your kids are learning at home right now Free Printable: Percussion Family Spotter This one finishes out our full set of Family Spotters. Print it out, listen along, and check off each percussion instrument as you hear it — then color in the badge when you're done. If you've collected all four Spotters through this series, you now have a complete set, one for every family in the orchestra.

On On Podcast episode 6.08 Squirrel Style Squirrel Style joins Ra from Heidelberg, Germany, to share how a relatively new hasher became a prolific Hare, international traveler and founder of a roaming kennel. Originally from Yugoslavia and raised in a conservative environment, she discovered Hashing in Munich in November 2019 through Last Cock Standing. The songs and traditions were initially a cultural shock, but the international community immediately felt like home. She soon became known for scenic, carefully planned trails combining rivers, castles, medieval towns, nature and creative stops. Squirrel Style's first trail required seven kilograms of flour and five hours of laying marks—and ended with two civilians detaining her because they suspected the flour was poison. After a lengthy wait for the police and an escort home, she learned to notify local authorities before future trails. She also explains how four outings as a hare, a fondness for squirrels and a memorable naming-circle answer produced the name Squirrel Style. The conversation follows her travels through 13 countries on four continents in just five months and the accidental birth of Fit TITS after EuroHash in Tallinn. The kennel's name means “Found in Tallinn—Traveling in Town Slowly,” and its free, nomadic trails have appeared at events in London, Munich, Transylvania, Barbados, Ecuador, Indonesia, Saint Kitts, Croatia, Ireland and Switzerland. Squirrel Style describes its unusual traditions, her unforgettable Carnival adventures in Cuenca, her work as a Munich haberdasher and party manager, and the worldwide friendships that give her seemingly endless energy. A teacher preparing for a sabbatical year starting in 2027 devoted to Hashing, she is also developing Little Venice Hash and an annual Medieval Hash in historic European towns. Expect stories of police, locked gates, foam battles, karaoke, group hugs, Hash romance, Retrieve Her the golden retriever—and one of the most enthusiastic ambassadors the Hash has produced.

Jason also compares MSC Yacht Club with Norwegian's Haven and Royal Caribbean's suite experience. The cruise included stops at Port Canaveral, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, and Nassau, including a visit to the private Yacht Club area at Ocean Cay. Plus, cruise news on Carnival's new loyalty program, Caribbean cruise deals, the canceled Serenade of the Seas Alaska sailing, Norwegian Prima Legionnaires' disease cases, and Royal Caribbean's new bidding program for onboard experiences.

Today's brief covers three stories from across the cruise world. A cruise passenger died after falling from an upper deck while the ship was docked at PortMiami; Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded at 3:30 a.m. and the sheriff's homicide bureau opened what it classified as an unclassified death investigation, with the passenger's identity, the ship, and the operator not disclosed and the medical examiner's findings pending. Carnival revised 11 Bahamas itineraries across Carnival Conquest, Carnival Spirit, Carnival Legend and Carnival Elation for departures between November 2026 and April 2028, largely swapping or adjusting call days and times at RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key, with Princess Cays replaced on one Carnival Spirit sailing; the guest notices did not explain the revisions. And Tianjin Oriental Cruises has begun northern China's first cruises to nowhere aboard Visio from Tianjin International Cruise Homeport, three-day roundtrips presaled at 500 to 1,200 renminbi that require no foreign visa under a Ministry of Transport pilot classification, before the ship resumes South Korea sailings.

The Notting Hill Carnival began in the sixties as a celebration of the culture of Britain's Windrush generation - but as the tradition has swelled there are issues of overcrowding and violence. Critics question the policing costs, which run into the tens of millions.

Two weeks in a row! Jen made it through a whole episode, mostly, and only got mad about the cruise she isn't going on. Trevor is one week from check-in, Tom did not post Flat Jen, and there are consequences coming for that.John Heald had to remind everyone on Facebook that crew members are not permitted to accept homemade food — sealed and packaged is fine, mystery Tupperware is not — and the crew debates whether this is a health-code thing or a those brownies were loaded thing. He also addressed the rumor about Guy's Burger Joint extending hours, which is currently a test on Carnival Conquest only. Princess is now charging for the Medallion to be mailed to you, though there's a free option at the terminal they'd prefer you forget. Carnival is partnering with Sneaker Impact to give the roughly 50,000 pairs of shoes guests leave behind each year to communities that need footwear — with worn-out pairs ground down and turned into yoga mats — which immediately becomes a plan to fill a backpack at Goodwill before the Jubilee.The hard news: a joint task force has removed dozens of crew members across multiple ships at U.S. ports of entry this year over child sexual abuse material found during device and quarter searches — 11 in Boston in August, 27 detained in San Diego earlier this year, and more in San Juan. Most were processed as immigration removals rather than federal charges, which raises real questions about how international crew are vetted through third-party labor agencies. We handle it straight.Also: a debarkation fight caught on what were almost certainly Meta glasses, filmed by someone simultaneously reading their credit card number aloud; guests stranded ashore in Cabo for three hours when a tropical storm shut down tendering; and a nine-day river cruise from Tulsa to Memphis launching in 2029 at $5,200 per person, which Trevor priced out at roughly five Carnival cruises.This week we also lost Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. Jen said it best.23 days to FRGC4. 124 days to the Panama Canal.

Send us Fan MailDestra Garcia has spent more than two decades becoming one of the defining voices and performers in soca. But behind the Queen of Bacchanal is a story of faith, family, ambition, sacrifice and an unwavering love for Caribbean culture.In this episode of The Corie Sheppard Podcast, Destra takes us from growing up as a pastor's kid and becoming “addicted” to the applause at just 10 years old, to Roy Cape taking her under his wing, her decision to go solo and the songs that would eventually travel around the world.

A seven-night Norwegian Jewel cruise review from Philadelphia to Bermuda and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Jacob shares what it was like sailing from Philadelphia's developing cruise terminal, including the unusual hotel check-in and shuttle process, as well as his first impressions of the 21-year-old Norwegian Jewel. We cover his interior cabin, a frustrating plumbing issue, the main dining room and buffet food, and specialty dining at Cagney's, Le Bistro, Moderno, and La Cucina. Jacob also discusses Norwegian's Freestyle Dining concept, entertainment, crowds, and whether the older ship still delivers good value.

Love is the Message returns from our summer break just in time for the Bank Holiday Weekend, which in London means one thing: Carnival. In this episode Jeremy and Tim cover the history of Notting Hill Carnival, the largest such event in Europe. They discuss patterns of Caribbean migration to the UK, traditions of carnival from Ancient Greece to Trinidad and Rio, and the particular story of Notting Hill, with its steel bands, dub sound systems, parade and party. They return to Lovers Rock, consider legendary stages like Aba Shanti, Good Times and Saxon, and interrogate how Bakhtinian and Deleuzian ideas can be applied to this unique expression of Black British culture. Plus: David Mancuso in Trinidad, and a young Jeremy tries to buy Pass the Dutchie. If you're going to Carnival this weekend, enjoy yourself and take plenty of water!Patreon.com/LoveMessagePodLoveisthemessagepod.co.ukProduced by Matt HuxleyTracklist:Laurel Aitkin - Boogie in my Bones Hells Gate Steel Orchestra - Ah Love It Here Sir Coxson - King of the Dubb Rock Louisa Mark - Caught You in a Lie ASWAD - Concrete Slaveship Smiley Culture - Cockney Translation Papa Levi - Mi God Mi King Ted Taylor - Ghetto Disco (Norman Jay Edit) Cajmere - Brighter Days Aba Shanti-I - Zulu Warrior Moliy x Shenseea x Skillibeng - Shake It To The Max

When church becomes a spectacle, it can be easy to confuse excitement with spiritual maturity.This week, Pastor Ken Ortize examines what he calls “Carnival Christianity” — the pressure to make church bigger, louder, more entertaining, and more sensational in order to attract and keep a crowd.But when personalities, productions, emotional experiences, and audience numbers become the measure of success, what happens to biblical teaching, genuine worship, discipleship, and spiritual depth?In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken challenges us to reconsider what the church is actually called to produce: not an audience waiting for the next show, but faithful followers of Jesus Christ.www.wtwcomingto.com 

Three stories on passenger safety and health at sea. Carnival Valor briefly listed to starboard on the Mississippi River near New Orleans on August 17, 2026, with passengers describing a sharp turn that sent pool water across upper decks and into indoor dining areas; the ship righted itself, arrived in New Orleans on schedule at 8 a.m. CDT and departed for its next cruise at 3:30 p.m., and Carnival said vessel movements of this nature can occur during normal navigation and that the circumstances are being reviewed. Norwegian Dawn scored 84 on a March 29, 2026 CDC Vessel Sanitation Program inspection, below the minimum passing score of 86, and Norwegian Cruise Line filed a corrective-action report with the CDC five days later, ahead of the ship's Jacksonville homeport season running November 2026 through March 2027. And off British Columbia, a passenger aboard Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas was airlifted on August 8, 2026 roughly 52 nautical miles northwest of Tofino, after Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Victoria dispatched a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter and a CC-295 Kingfisher aircraft and the ship increased speed to 22 knots to reach the rendezvous point; the patient was taken to a Victoria hospital and the sailing continued its Alaska itinerary.

Keith, Buddy, Big Dick, and Killer finish their recording session discussing Virtual Reality “games” (you know the kind), the truly greatest BBQ spot in Charlotte, The Diamond Dogs' tattoos, and the epic concert of Extreme, Tesla, and I guess Mötley Crüe.

After Anna Kepner died on a Carnival cruise ship, her stepmother made a decision that says everything. She sent her son, Timothy Hudson, to live with a relative, and per People magazine's reporting, the stated purpose was removing any risk of danger to the other children in the home. Read that timing carefully. The household measured a teenager as a possible threat to kids and acted on it, once the one who allegedly warned everyone was already gone.Hudson, sixteen, was indicted as an adult in Anna's death and pleaded not guilty. He's presumed innocent, and a September trial will decide his case. What the trial can't decide is the question this True Crime Today episode puts on the table: what do we owe the adults who were allegedly told, in detail, and chose comfort over action?The newest court filings sharpen it. Federal prosecutors have delivered Anna's complete Snapchat extraction, FBI investigative reports, and grand jury materials to the defense, sealed under a protective order, meaning the last words this eighteen-year-old ever typed are working evidence in her accused killer's file. Meanwhile the custody fight between Hudson's parents has spilled texts into the record, including a 32-hour delay before his father even learned Anna was dead.Stack the alleged pre-cruise warnings against the government's claim that this happened without any warning, add a judge's detention order invoking psychopathy, and one conclusion becomes hard to escape. Somebody could see it. The episode makes the case that pretending otherwise should start carrying a price, and Anna Kepner's story is where that argument begins.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
