The very first Crews News bulletin drops with Trevor flying solo, serving up Carnival's new “please behave” advisory, a record-smashing $3.5M St. Jude haul, and a stack of jaw-dropping 2024 bucket-list itineraries — from an 18-day Japan run to a 25-day Singapore epic. Short, punchy, and dangerously fun.

Moments worth the wait
- The pitch — Trevor sets the tone by overselling the bulletin from the jump.
“this is the juiciest, most entertaining news that you will ever hear.”
- Mind your manners — Carnival's new pre-cruise email reminds guests how to behave on the fun ships.
“these pre-Crews reminders about all the fun policies on board the fun ships from smoking policies to how to properly hold your drink and even how to save your seat without making enemies.”
- A knowing wink — Trevor cops to needing a reminder or two himself.
“Okay fine maybe some of us need a little bit more reminding than others.”
- The St. Jude milestone — Real numbers behind a record-breaking year of giving.
“record breaking $3.5 million in 2022,” surpassing the “previous record of 2.8 million raised in 2018,” for a running total of “$26.2 million.”
- Heart on his sleeve — Genuine warmth for the cause behind the fundraising.
“I absolutely love that Carnival goes above and beyond in these things like childhood cancer research.”
- Bucket-list voyages — The 2024 itineraries that stop you mid-scroll.
“18-day journey to Japan or a 25-day voyage from Singapore to Long Beach, California.”
