RelaxAway Half Moon Cay Opens — and Carnival Gets Breached

The Golden Crew is back from a short hiatus — read: Tom turned 50 and somehow scored a birthday video from Mick Foley himself (all thanks to Jenn, naturally). We kick things off with a brand-new game Madison cooked up: A Free Cruise, But… Trevor, Tom, and Jenn each get their fate dealt, and before it's over Jenn has adopted an emotional-support seagull named Patricia and Tom is doing the nine-deck bathroom climb forty times. Play it yourself at games.section29.com and tell us what outcome you got.On the actual news front: Half Moon Cay is now RelaxAway Half Moon Cay, complete with a brand-new pier (open as of June 1), a tram around the island, and bars one through six waiting on you — assuming the pier's short enough to stagger back from. We also dig into the Carnival data breach that hit six million people (800,000 of them Texans, and somehow not Trevor, who is furious he can't join the class action), plus word that Christine Duffy will be aboard the next FSS sailing in February 2027.We take a more serious turn to talk about a young woman who lost her legs on a Carnival-approved excursion — a heartbreaking story, and a real reminder to vet your excursions, read the reviews, and never assume "booked through the cruise line" means risk-free. (Credit to cruiseradio.net for the reporting.)Then it's straight back to the chaos: a Reddit legend who swallowed a diamond to smuggle it off the island, an "Entitlement of the Seas" cruise hack that absolutely does not work, and a Weekend at Bernie's tangent we accept no legal responsibility for. Plus a Speak Pipe from Brando, who's sailing out of New York to Canada on the Venezia — on purpose, this time.Leave us a Speak Pipe at speakpipe.com/carnivalcruisingpodcastaways and join the crew in our Facebook group (search The Podcastaways).
