About this episode

Ian and Liv discuss the Viking Sky cruise disaster of 2019, detailing the challenges faced during the rescue and personal fears related to cruising.

Dangerously close to danger. In this one, Ian & Liv talk about a cruise from 2019 that got turned upside down (almost literally) when the ship lost power mid-cruise in rough seas. The rescue efforts were daunting, passengers were injured, the grand piano was damaged, but the snow grotto was unharmed. Also, Liv faces her fear of cruises. Ian loses all creativity.
