About this episode

The episode discusses Barcelona's new tax on the cruise industry, an abandoned lifeboat in Alaska, top cruise lines for food, the rise of women-only tours, and Rhode Island's top airport ranking.

An overturned lifeboat in Alaska turns out to be much to do about floating. It was abandoned! Travel and Leisure's top three cruise lines for food all have some connection to Apollo! Are women-only tours going to be more popular in 2027? Should men be offended? An airport in Rhode Island is named the top airport in America! Who cares?
