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. In Bermuda, he visits Horseshoe Bay, takes a sunset rum cruise, and goes clear kayaking before Norwegian Jewel heads north for a short stop in Halifax. Plus, we cover the week's cruise news, including changes to Norwegian Cruise Line's Free at Sea specialty dining benefit, Carnival's White Hot Night, Margaritaville at Sea's plans for Galveston, and Disney Cruise Line's return to New York.

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 

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.

Jen's back from jury duty, which she insists was more important than this show (it was), and she has strong opinions about a burrito in downtown Stockton. In her absence, Trevor and Tom recorded an episode with seven guests — John Heald, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Dog the Bounty Hunter — and then refused to release it out of spite. You'll have to take their word for it.On the actual news desk: Princess is moving final payment on longer sailings from 90 days out to 120, with deposits climbing to $250 for standard staterooms ($500 per person on 10-plus-day sailings) and the cancellation schedule shifting so a 100% fee kicks in at 60 days instead of 30 — and the crew debates whether Carnival and Royal follow suit. Carnival's Elegant Night is being swapped for White Hot Night on select cruises of five days or less, which Tom explains and Trevor immediately makes weird. And on August 17th, Carnival Valor made an emergency maneuver on the Mississippi to avoid a cargo ship that had lost power in the channel — dumping water out of the pool at four in the morning and causing minor injuries. Unconfirmed reports suggest Vin Diesel was at the helm.Also discussed: a Miami jury finding Carnival 60% at fault and awarding $300,000 to a California nurse who was served 14 shots of tequila before falling down a staircase; the boys' weight loss check-in (22 pounds and 33 pounds, respectively); an office dog who became Trevor's best friend for the price of one piece of beef jerky; and Jesse's listener question about FRGC4 plans — cabanas at Celebration Key, and yes, embarkation day is Talk Like a Pirate Day, with the Galveston Pirate Festival the night before. Bring your colander.31 days to FRGC4. 379 days to FRGC5.

A review of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander.  This week we get a full review of Margaritaville at Sea Islander following a four-night cruise from Tampa to Cozumel. Sue joins us after her 42nd cruise to share why Islander exceeded her expectations and how the former Costa ship has been transformed into Margaritaville at Sea's newest Tampa-based cruise ship. Staff writer Richard Simms has cruise news on: Carnival Valor making a hard turn on the Mississippi River to avoid a cargo vessel, two passengers arrested following an alleged altercation aboard a cruise ship in Port Canaveral, a lawsuit involving a Norwegian Cruise Line passenger who says he was bitten by a pig during an excursion, Carnival's new shoe recycling program, and the latest CDC cruise ship sanitation inspection scores.

Royal Caribbean is testing digital scratch-off lottery tickets through its onboard app aboard Utopia of the Seas, with tickets priced from $2 to $20 and a top jackpot of $100,000; prizes under $2,000 post automatically to guest accounts, while larger wins require a Casino Royale visit and tax paperwork. The test follows Carnival Millions, launched in February 2026 with daily drawings offering up to $1 million, and an earlier BetMGM trial with Carnival that ended over satellite-internet lag and limited passenger interest. At Port Canaveral, construction has begun on a $95 million expansion of Cruise Terminal 10, a 145,000-square-foot facility roughly 30 percent larger than the existing building and able to handle ships carrying up to 6,700 passengers, with completion set for November 2027. The port recorded 8.6 million passenger movements and 1,038 ship calls in fiscal 2025. And Heritage Expeditions has completed drydock on Heritage Discoverer in Bremerhaven, Germany, ahead of the ship's first Antarctic passenger cruise, a preview voyage from Ushuaia running November 19 to December 9, 2026.

MSC Group has named its second private Caribbean destination Catalina Sugar Beach, opening on Catalina Island off La Romana in the Dominican Republic in November 2026, with MSC Opera making the first call on November 17 and Explora III following on November 19. Disney reported record quarterly Experiences revenue of $9.97 billion, up 10 percent, as Disney Cruise Line stateroom capacity rose 50 percent year over year following the debut of Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure. And Carnival Cruise Line appointed Daniela Gargiulo as the first female Staff Captain in its global fleet, in a ceremony aboard Carnival Adventure in Sydney.

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?

Send us Fan MailWhat takes someone from the Canadian military to Afghanistan, Sudan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Jordan and Algeria — and eventually to Carnival, J'ouvert, panyards and life in Trinidad and Tobago?In this episode of The Corie Sheppard Podcast, we sit down with Michael Callan, High Commissioner of Canada to Trinidad and Tobago, for a wide-ranging conversation about diplomacy, conflict, culture and the experiences that have shaped his life.Michael takes us inside his time in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where he worked as a civilian alongside the military in an increasingly dangerous environment. He reflects on the pressure of making decisions with real consequences, the conversations he had with his family about the possibility that he might not return home, and why one of the most difficult periods of his life was also one of his most rewarding.We also trace his journey through international development and diplomacy — from Bangladesh and Sudan to Egypt, Jordan and his time as Canada's Ambassador to Algeria — and explore what years spent around conflict taught him about people, institutions, leadership and the things human beings have in common.Then the conversation comes home to Trinidad and Tobago.Michael talks about discovering the country beyond the diplomatic bubble: exploring Tobago, visiting panyards, experiencing Canboulay, playing mas with The Lost Tribe, taking part in J'ouvert and even learning to make callaloo.We also explore the centuries-old connections between Canada and Trinidad and Tobago, from trade and migration to Carnival, Caribana, the Caribbean diaspora and even the extraordinary journey of leatherback turtles between our two countries.

Jen's back! After a Day One that ended with a Cartman GIF and a "screw you guys, I'm going home," the Golden Crew is finally three-strong again — and immediately gets distracted by Christmas trees in August, a heart-having cat named Flinty, and Trevor's alleged palace of multiple living rooms.Then, actual cruise news: Carnival Pride is testing Jotun's Hull Skater, a robot that crawls the ship's hull scraping off slime and barnacles (basically a Roomba with a job, and the crew has thoughts about adding a saw). Norwegian reveals Great Tides Water Park at Great Stirrup Cay — 19 water slides, the Caribbean's only four-person body slide, and Cliffside Cove with 10- and 15-foot jumps, welcoming its first guests September 4th. Bare Necessities brings the Big Nude Boat back to PortMiami in February 2027 aboard Norwegian Jewel: 11 days, zero tan lines, towels mandatory on all surfaces. And at Perfect Day at CocoCay, a forklift and a departing Wonder of the Seas had a disagreement that ended with a gangway at the bottom of the ocean — sparking a full business plan involving magnet fishing, retirement in Key West, and reselling gangways at a premium.Also: hook magnets are the real MVP of an Alaska cruise, and Alaska is somehow 80 degrees right now.43 days to FRGC4. 393 days to FRGC5.

Today's Cruise News brief covers three stories. A Kentucky woman, filing under the pseudonym Jane Doe, has sued Carnival Cruise Line and spa operator OneSpaWorld over an alleged assault by a massage therapist aboard Carnival Vista on July 5, 2025, a complaint that arrives alongside Department of Transportation figures showing 135 sexual assaults reported on Carnival vessels between 2016 and 2025. In Italy, a July 3, 2026 court ruling voided the environmental approval for the 600 million euro Fiumicino Waterfront cruise port near Rome, a project 90 percent owned by iCON Infrastructure funds with a 10 percent stake held by Royal Caribbean Group, leaving Civitavecchia as the region's cruise gateway after it processed 3,556,559 passengers in 2025. And Disney Cruise Line is scaling up in St. Maarten, moving from three calls in 2026 to roughly 14 in 2027 following Disney Destiny's inaugural visit on July 1, 2026, at a port that welcomed 1,597,940 cruise visitors last year.

In this Postcard from Earth, Flip sends a letter home about a truly horrifying discovery... While visiting a place humans call a "carnival" (or sometimes a "fair"), Flip and Mozi stumble into what Flip is certain is an elaborate Earthling punishment colony. Why are humans voluntarily climbing aboard terrifying machines that fling them through the air? Why do they scream the entire time, only to stand in line and do it all over again? And perhaps most baffling of all... why are they eating fluffy fabric on sticks called "cotton candy"? What begins as a simple outing quickly becomes another wonderfully confusing Earth mystery.This hilarious alien correspondence is packed with laugh-out-loud misunderstandings and the delightfully upside-down perspective that only Flip & Mozi can deliver. As Mozi eagerly embraces every dizzying ride and carnival game, Flip becomes increasingly convinced that Earthlings have invented the galaxy's most elaborate form of recreational terror. Along the way, they discover that sometimes screaming doesn't always mean someone is in danger.Along the way, Flip and Mozi marvel at gravity-defying roller coasters, puzzle over spinning rides, towering Ferris wheels, and mysterious carnival treats, and debate why humans seem to enjoy being scared on purpose. Between Flip's growing panic and Mozi's unstoppable excitement, this Earthling encounter is full of curiosity, comedy, and plenty of topsy-turvy surprises. It's the kind of adventure that makes one of Earth's favorite traditions seem hilariously extraordinary.Flip & Mozi is the hit podcast from Tinkercast, the creators of Wow in the World, featuring original music from Grammy-nominated artists The Pop Ups. Each episode, aliens Flip and Mozi crash-land into a new animal encounter as they try to figure out what it means to be an earthling. From mammals to insects to sea creatures to reptiles, every curious creature they meet teaches them, and their listeners, something new about Earth and the important role animals play in our ecosystem. It's a nature and animal podcast for kids that keeps animal conservation in your family's conversations.Grownups, want to keep the Wow going?

In February 1893, Atlanta endured a week of financial scandal, suicide and shocking violence that newspapers would later remember as Black Week. The darkest chapter unfolded inside the home of one of the city's most respected families, where two sisters were murdered and a third calmly confessed. Through contemporary accounts and Julia Force's own writings, this episode explores one of Georgia's most haunting nineteenth-century murder cases and the mystery that still surrounds it.

 Movie Meltdown - Episode 662 Join us for an epic Merrye family reunion… of sorts. This episode has been years in the making, as we visit a never before heard interview we did with the legendary Sid Haig! We not only get a blast from the past discussion with Sid about working on "Spider Baby", but we also recently sat down with Beverly Washburn to get her memories of the film as well as her take on the legacy this movie has had on her life and fans around the world. Then after the interviews with the stars of the film we settle in for a lengthy discussion on this horror classic and many of the reasons it not only still holds up today - but was also way ahead of its time.  And while we bust out our cheap, horror VHS tapes, we also mention… Pasadena Playhouse, horrible bastardized version of the nuclear family, having a passion for something, Zacherley, worldwide fanbase, House of 1000 Corpses, the creepy girl "type", self referential horror, Carnival of Souls, buy your alter ego a top hat, Ozzie and Harriet, you regress more until you just become an animal, Dusty Bluffs, upper class deviants, operating on instinct, unconditional love, Beetlejuice, handled in monster kid fashion, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, these kids today, Pit Stop, independent filmmaking, fighting their demons, going no contact with your family, Scream, the missing link of horror movies, Leave it to Beaver, completely unburdened by psychosis, professional playfulness, Wednesday Addams, cleaning up the sound, psychological warfare at the dinner table, the mummy movies, and it all started at Ralphs grocery.  Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers as we dig into the entirety of "Spider Baby" - so go watch the movie. "You know, I think I'm learning a lot about life… from Spider Baby."
