In this episode, I'm joined by my travel advisor partner Wendy to break down what's really different, what it means for your cruise, and whether Virgin still delivers that signature "almost all-inclusive" experience people love. We're covering the new fare structure, what's no longer included, and how to book smart in 2026. If Virgin Voyages is on your radar, this is a must-listen before you book. 🔗 Links & resources: Browse Virgin Voyages sailings (affiliate link): https://tinyurl.com/m88h27xx Shop our favorite cruise essentials on Amazon 👉 Visit our storefront: https://urlgeni.us/amazon/KRMDO Connect with Wendy for personalized planning: https://cruisetipstv.membercruises.com/home-page Visit us on AmazonLive! https://www.amazon.com/live/cruisetipstv | — | ||||||

| 4/4/26 |  Voices in the Forest - The Kushtaka | In Haines, Alaska, the wilderness doesn't just surround you… it watches. In this episode of CruiseTipsTV Unplugged: Alaska Lore & Legends, we explore the story of the Kushtaka, a shape-shifting presence said to mimic human voices and lure people into the forest. When a routine walk along the Chilkat River takes an unexpected turn, the line between explanation and something more begins to blur. Because in Southeast Alaska… not every voice is meant to be followed. In this episode, we explore how those stories connect to a modern-day experience in Haines, where the environment, the legend, and one unsettling moment begin to overlap. This episode is a narrative exploration of Alaska's history, culture, and folklore, based on publicly available historical records, oral traditions, and multiple secondary sources. Details are presented for educational and storytelling purposes and may reflect differing historical interpretations. Legends and traditional stories are shared respectfully and in context.

From buffet favorites to specialty dining highlights, we'll talk about what impressed us—and what didn't. We also tackle a big travel question: Is New Zealand best experienced by cruise ship?

I n this episode we cover: Our full Discovery Princess ship review Cabin comfort and layout Food highlights and dining surprises What the ship does really well The biggest advantages of cruising New Zealand Why some travelers may prefer exploring the country by land If you're considering a New Zealand cruise—or wondering how Discovery Princess stacks up—this episode will help you decide.
