Moments worth the wait
- Milestone birthday — Trevor drops the news that this episode marks a big one.
“Guess what guys? When this episode comes out, I'll be 40 years old… It's my birthday June 15th.”
- The impossible complaint — A guest wants compensation for a medically-forced port swap.
“It's not the cruise's fault somebody got in a medical situation.”
- The ice-cream tip — Trevor points listeners to the one machine that beats them all.
“Bypass all the other ice cream machines and just go to the eight after one in the Heroes Lounge… That by far has the best ice cream.”
- The big news — Trevor actually prepared, laying out Carnival's new measures.
“Rolling out some enhanced security measures… including drug sniffing dogs, more security officers and even a curfew for certain guests.”
- Catherine's take — Read on air, a listener's blunt verdict on the crackdown.
“I mind my business. I'd rather a stoner than a drunk. Sorry, not sorry.”
- Table Gate — Footage surfaces of Josh nearly cropped out of the group's dinner table.
“They tried to cut Josh out of it. Justice for Josh.”
