This week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Donna K. Philips. I wrote about Donna in my new release The Joy of Cruising Again in a section called ‘The Fun ships,' where I featured Donna's dad, the cruise industry, and carnival cruise line food and beverage giant Everette Daniel Phillips, in a chapter titled ‘Hot, Hot, Hot: Donna K. Phillips Remembers Her Fun Ship Father.' In the introduction to The Fun Ships, I wrote: “Carnival Cruise Lines owned the brand, and the space in the fledgling cruise market, of The Fun Ships, essentially from its beginning with the launch of Mardi Gras in 1972 and Carnivale in 1975. In 1977, Joe Farcus was commissioned by Carnival to design its third ship, the Festivale, and stayed to design its next 30 or so ships. Today the retired Farcus is an internationally known icon of design. Shortly thereafter, food and beverage innovator, Everette Phillips, came to Carnival after stints with Morrisons Cafeteria, Eastern Steamship Line, Commodore Cruise Line (with its dancing waiters), and Chandris Cruises (now Celebrity Cruise Line), and stayed at Carnival until retirement. The late Phillips was recognized universally by the cruise industry as a food and beverage giant. No one did more to bring to life the motto ‘The Fun Ships,' than Joe Farcus and Everette Phillips.” Perhaps that bold assertion is subject to discussion. If so, perhaps we can talk about it on The Joy of Cruising Podcast! Joe Farcus was on The Joy of Cruising Podcast episode#30. Today through the words of Donna, who shared much of her dad's experiences from the time of her first cruise with him at 11 months old through his retirement from carnival in 1997, we get a sense of the other The Fun Ships pioneer, Mr. Phillips, as he was known as by the many people who worked with him and for him. I met Donna a couple of years ago. I was talking to a friend about the premise of The Joy of Cruising series, and she said, “You should speak with Donna Phillips; she's part of cruising royalty.” Of course, that piqued my curiosity, and I asked if she could facilitate an introduction to Donna. She stated that she would and then shortly after our call, forwarded me an article shedding light on “cruising royalty.” The article was “Carnival family mourns Food & Beverage giant Everette Phillips,” Seatrade cruise news, by Anne Kalosh, and quoted several former associates of Mr. Phillips, one of whom I was familiar with, John Heald. I knew I needed to research Phillips and meet Donna. Support the show

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 22 Cruising Gluten-Free: A Rough Sail Through the Mediterranean   Do you struggle with food allergies and often wonder how to navigate your way through a cruise ship dietary minefield? Prepare to embark on a journey that will equip you with the skills to deal with such situations. You see, I recently sailed through the Mediterranean on a Celebrity cruise line. The cruise was a mixed bag of experiences - from kayaking in the sea caves of Corfu, Greece, discovering a dedicated gluten-free gelato shop in Rome, to exploring the history-steeped ruins of Olympia. But it wasn't all smooth sailing.    Getting Food Poisoning, Food Mislabeling, and getting Cross-Contamination on Celebrity Cruise Line   Along with the highs, there were some serious lows. As a person with food allergies, the lack of transparency and limited options onboard the Celebrity cruise line lead to some challenging times. I'll share my story of dealing with the ship's chefs, my frustrations regarding the limited gluten-free options, and even the case of an unfortunate food poisoning. But don't worry, I didn't let these difficulties dampen my spirit. Instead, they fueled my resolve to help others navigate through similar situations.   Tips and Advice When Traveling with Food Allergies on a Cruise   To conclude this episode, I will share some valuable tips and tricks that can be lifesavers when you travel with food allergies. You'd be surprised to know the potential of powdered chicken broth and electrolyte drink mix! Also, never underestimate the power of carrying a list of your food allergies in several languages. I look forward to sharing my positive experiences too - the ship's beautiful decorations, top-notch shows, and a sandwich that I can only describe as a gluten-free revelation. So, hop on board the Travel Gluten-Free Podcast; your journey towards a stress-free, allergy-friendly travel experience begins here!   (0:00:01) - Horrible Experience on Celebrity Cruise (0:08:34) - Review of Celebrity Cruise Experience (0:16:35) - Food Handling on a Cruise (0:24:51) - Limited Food and Medical Support on Cruise (0:30:03) - Negative Experience on Celebrity Cruise (0:36:58) - Food Allergies on Celebrity Cruise (0:42:02) - Negative Experience on a Celebrity Cruise (0:50:24) - Ship Experience and Captain Appreciation   Gluten Free Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free Get the best tool for traveling gluten free with Equal Eats Cards Get the PracMedic Travel Medicine Bag Find your next vacation with your Travel Gluten Free $40 credit towards your stay!

“In this day and age, I'm shocked that someone still doesn't know the difference between ‘you're' and ‘your.'”   Kate McCue Cruise ship captain   Artwork: Ink drawing on a NOAA nautical chart of the waters around the eastern tip of Puerto Rico, an area that cruise ships often travel around.   The story: For Kate McCue, captain of Celebrity Edge, a 1,004-foot-long mega cruise ship that can accommodate nearly 3,000 passengers, the day's work never stops. On a typical day onboard the ship, she'll get up at 4 a.m. to begin her work.  Aside from being responsible for up to 3,000 passengers and a crew of more than 1,000, she's also active on social media. McCue shares a behind-the-scenes view of what cruise life is like from the ship's bridge on her popular social media channels.  On one particular day in October 2020 began like the others, but this day was a little different. An internet troll commented on one of her social media posts, asking, “how can you be a captain? Your only a woman.” [sic] Sexist comments like this and worse towards McCue and other women online are unfortunately all too common. But on this day, McCue was having none of it. She shut the man down with a withering response in a video that quickly went viral around the world: “I think it's about high time that I address this, because it's 2020, and in this day and age I'm shocked that someone still doesn't know the difference between ‘you're' and ‘your.' Just a quick reference: ‘you're,' as in ‘you are,' as in ‘you are sexist.' ‘Your' is something possessive, it belongs to you. Like ‘your ignorance.'” The video concluded with McCue sitting down in her chair, saying “If you need any more clarification, you can find me here—in my captain's chair.”   Background on Captain McCue Born January 6, 1978 in San Francisco, CA, McCue began her maritime career with a dream at the age of 12 when she went on a cruise with her family. She told her father she wanted to be a cruise director when she grew up and he told her she could do anything, including captain the ship. She earned a bachelor's degree at Cal Maritime and worked her way up the ranks in the shipping world.  She began as an apprentice officer on cargo boats transporting banana from South America and California. Eager to switch from cargo to cruises, she joined Disney Cruise Lines as a third mate and later moved to Royal Caribbean International. She worked her way up to staff captain (second in command), when in 2015, the CEO of Celebrity Cruise Line invited her to apply to captain the Celebrity Summit.  This promotion made McCue the first American female captain of a mega cruise ship and only the fifth woman overall. A mega cruise ship has a gross tonnage of least 80,000. Her current ship, Celebrity Edge, is nearly 131,000.  Now when passengers begin a voyage on a ship helmed by McCue, she greets them over the loudspeakers, “This is Captain Kate, but you can call me Captain because it took me 19 years to earn this title.”    Music: This episode contains music by Geovane Bruno and Zakhar Valaha.    Sources:  Coffey, H.

Travel Show: Brought to you by Celebrity Cruise Line: “Modern Luxury Lives Here, Coronavirus and Fiji Vacation Package

Back in 2003 two things happened that changed the course of my life... First, I met the man that I would eventually marry and spend the rest of my life with. And second, I lost confidence in myself as a singer. Music has been my constant companion for as long as I can remember and sometimes we have a falling out. I recently discovered that what drives me in life is my need to be heard and my voice is the vehicle. In 1997, I landed a very well-paid job at a marketing firm, and for the two years that I worked at that company, I put my music on the back burner. Prior to that I had put so much time and energy into the pursuit, and music was always letting me down. I rehearsed endlessly. I sent demos everywhere. I went to music conferences. It was just countless investment with no return. So, I surrendered to the real world and to making money. Those two years were like a slow death. My boss was demanding beyond reason, and the job was stressful. Soon I was plagued with migraine headaches and weight loss. I was literally shrinking under the pressure. It turns out, I needed my love affair with music, and the chase was part of the allure. I needed to get back to it. So I did. In 1999 I made my escape into a full-time contract with Disney working as a production singer on one of their cruise ships. I was singing and getting paid for it. Finally, music and I were in a reciprocal relationship. I breezed through my Disney contract and after a few years working on dry land, I started working for Royal Caribbean in 2003. I was hired into the coveted ‘Girl 1’ position and I arrived at rehearsals confident and ready to take on the challenge of learning three new shows. I found myself surrounded by some incredible talent, many of whom had worked on Broadway or in touring companies, and I started to feel completely out of my depth. I was hired for Disney mainly to sing The Circle of Life, for which my Gospel roots served me well. That was really the only song I was featured in, the rest of the time I was just part of the production cast. At Royal, I was the featured girl singer, and the shows were musical-theatre based. I was sitting in rehearsals listening to my fellow singers and thinking, 'I can’t sing like that! I’m not good enough to be a featured singer.' I did audition for this role, mind you, and the show producers obviously thought I was good enough to be given the role, but I couldn’t see it. Once the poison of doubt got in my mind, there was no stopping its effects, and it began to chip away at my confidence and lead to a very rough contract. I went from singing with heart and passion, to being completely self-conscience about every performance. I couldn’t get out of my head, and now I was letting music down. I stopped being able to let it freely flow through me. Something got damaged back in 2003, and to this day, I am still struggling with not feeling good enough. I left Royal after two contracts and went on to work for Celebrity Cruise Line for three contracts, with the last contract finishing in 2007. I moved to Milwaukee and formed my own Jazz quartet and we performed all over the city. In 2009, I release my debut CD, and that same year moved to the UK. The 10 years I’ve lived in the UK I have been consistently working as a pro singer, but I have never fully regained the confidence I had before that Royal contract. In 2018, I got serious about finding my voice. But I think it runs deeper than just finding my voice. I think it’s more about freeing my voice. I’ve been singing for a living since 2003, so my voice is working. But I haven’t always enjoyed singing. I have had many magical moments over the years, glimpses of the singer I used to be, but the joy of singing has been fleeting.

Shari Kavalin is back with her good nature, gift for planning unique itineraries and love of cats. If you have ever wanted to cruise with fellow cat lovers on a Celebrity Cruise Line out of Florida... OR... Hunt down the Northern Lights on an adults only, brand new, ultra luxury liner this is the episode for you! Shari give great details on both the Hunt for the Northern Lights cruise itinerary and the amazing new ship. If you are familiar with the Viking River Cruise model of luxury, all-inclusive style cruising you will love how Viking has applied it to their new, luxury, ocean vessels. These ships hold under 1,000 passengers and can sail into waterways large ships just can't navigate. The typical person hunting for the northern lights bundles up, and trudges into the cold in hopes for seeing the lights while they struggle to stay warm. Why not float in luxury accommodation, in the right ports, at the right time of year with a hot chocolate or champagne instead? Shari, has a group started and has a few remaining cabins. Check this off your bucket list in 2019. Reserve your space now because it's a small ship!
