Would You Pay $4,000 for a Carnival Cruise Pass?

<p>Jenn is away, which means Trevor and Thomas have been left unsupervised. Naturally, a conversation about cruise bargains ends with a hypothetical spider rescue mission.</p><p>This week, we break down Margaritaville at Sea’s annual cruise pass and its fine print—then ask the big question: would you pay $4,000 for a similar pass from Carnival? It’s our imaginary offer, but the debate is very real.</p><p>We also talk Panama Canal sailings, bucket list destinations, and the questionable decisions we’ve made trying to cruise on a budget. Think cheap Galveston motels, exhausting overnight drives, and an alligator sighting Trevor still can’t confirm.</p><p>Meanwhile, listener Tim checks in from Tokyo DisneySea, explains why traveling with suitcases has him craving a cruise, and introduces Trevor to an entirely new reason to fear Australia. Steven gets another birthday shout-out, and absent Jenn gets exactly as much sympathy as you’d expect.</p><p>Would you buy an annual Carnival cruise pass?
