Episode 41 - Low Rivers, High Temps, and a Fork Nobody Should've Used

from Checked Bags and Big Tags · host Ilisa Oman and Sean Mouttet

Europe's rivers are running low, the heat is running high, and this week's "Travelers Behaving Badly" story is one for the history books. On this episode of Checked Bags and Big Tags, we're covering: 🚢 River cruise disruptions — Why low water levels on the Danube and Rhine are forcing cruise lines to get creative with bus transfers, ship swaps, and modified itineraries, and how a good travel advisor keeps clients informed without causing panic 🌡️ Europe's heat waves — What record-breaking summer temperatures mean for flight delays and your daily touring plans, plus practical tips to keep your trip enjoyable (hint: mornings, evenings, and a lot less "death march" energy) ✈️ The State Department's Worldwide Caution — What this advisory actually says, who it applies to, and why it doesn't mean you should cancel your trip to Europe 🍴 Travelers Behaving Badly — This week's entry involves a Carnival cruise, a buffet, and a fork used for something forks were never meant to do. You'll want to hear this one. Whether you're planning a river cruise, a European getaway, or just love a good cautionary tale about manners, this episode has something for you.   lisa Oman [email protected] www.oneworldfamilytravel.com   Sean Mouttet [email protected] www.gallivantluxurytravel.com   Find us on Facebook!
