Carnival's 50th Birthday & Different Types of Cruises

In this episode

Carnival turns 50 and the Golden Boys are ready to party — a full week early, if Tom's serenading has anything to say about it. They toast the throwback sailings, dig into the CDC easing its mask rules, and give you the grand tour of every cruise type out there, from working education cruises to the nudist charter they're only half joking about wanting an invite to.

Moments worth the wait

• The birthday cold open — Tom kicks things off by belting “Happy Birthday to Carnival” a full week early.

  “That brought tears to my eyes. He'll be here all week, folks.”

• Drunk-packing wisdom — the comedian's bit on how a suitcase actually gets filled.

  “You grab one pair of socks, throw them in… then you grab eight bow ties.”

• The nudist charter — the guys angle for an invite and immediately regret it.

  “I really hope that we put it out there now that we want our in… We could really regret that statement.”

• Journey-cruise throwbacks — Trevor runs down the vintage activities, including the legendary ping pong bathing suit challenge and $5 aquafrog racing.

  “Are they real frogs?”

• Age roast — the math on Carnival's birthday takes a personal turn.

  “No way. I was 11. I was born in '76.”

• The working cruise — Trevor's wife earned therapist CE credits at sea, and by week's end “half the room has an alcoholic drink in their hands.”
