This episode spans the full spectrum of the cruise industry, from strategic shutdowns to tragic loss at sea. Alaskan Dream Cruises has officially ceased all operations after a review of long-term objectives, highlighting the brutal economics facing small ship operators squeezed between mega-carriers and luxury expedition brands. With just 223 berths across four US-flagged vessels, the fixed costs proved insurmountable against competitors with far greater scale and marketing power.On Norwegian Bliss, the Broadway musical Jersey Boys will officially end its run in February 2026 as NCL pivots away from expensive licensed productions toward rotating variety acts. The move reflects a fundamental rethinking of onboard entertainment ROI, freeing up crew berths and slashing licensing costs in favor of comedians, magicians, and smaller-cast shows.The episode also covers the tragic passing of legendary jazz clarinetist Ken Peplowski aboard Celebrity Summit during a Jazz Cruises charter sailing, plus key port developments including winter storm disruptions in Norfolk, a pulled dock deal in Haines, Alaska, and new homeporting strategies from Carnival and Holland America targeting drive-to markets.

In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn't touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael “The Computer” Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor's system, exploiting the company's appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor's lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On this special Christmas Eve edition of The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel welcomes his wife, Lynn Shaw, for a festive yet urgent "Warrior Wednesday". The couple moves from discussing the glitzy New York premiere of Marty Supreme to Lynn's powerhouse background as a Broadway producer of hits like Hairspray and Jersey Boys. However, the holiday cheer is balanced by a deep dive into the "dark and ugly" corners of the digital world, including the rise of "pig butchering" scams, the hidden surveillance risks of AI toys, and the manipulative power of TikTok algorithms.

The West Virginia governor, Patrick Morrisey, and a Mountain State legislator, Chris Rose, think they see an opportunity to mooch off our prosperity. Morrisey, last week, in the hours after our Blue Wave state elections, sent a message to the red counties in Virginia via Facebook, assuming that he feels their frustration. “It's about to get awful blue in the Commonwealth of Virginia,” wrote Morrisey, a Brooklyn-born, New Jersey-bred Rutgers alum who only moved to West Virginia, and Harpers Ferry – barely inside the border – at that, when he was 39 years old. Guy is as West Virginia as Tony Soprano, with the added touch that, before he got into elected politics, he made his living as a pharmaceutical lobbyist, and now runs a state set backwards a generation by the opioid crisis that he made gobs of money advocating for. Back to Jersey Boy's post-election message to Virginia: “Don't wait for the high taxes to heavy regulations to come, now is your chance to escape to wild and wonderful West Virginia,” Morrisey wrote.
