Patrick Wiscombe:Broadcasting from the Wiscombe-Faldmo Radio Studios. You are listening to the Inside Travel Talk podcast and radio show. Good Saturday morning. My name is Patrick Wiscombe, alongside Mark Faldmo and Mark, I'll just begin the show by stealing something that you said to me just a couple of minutes ago before coming on the air, because we are in salt lake city and our local fox affiliate here is a station called fox 13 and, if you are to believe the weather forecast, it is currently 1045 degrees outside and everyone but you and me are dead, so we're broadcasting to a whole lot of nobody yeah, the funny mistake in the weather broadcast did you see that meme earlier this week about the the weather guy in McKinney, Texas, where it was what?
Patrick Wiscombe:what'd he say? It was like 107 000 degrees or something.
Mark Faldmo:Yes, yeah, that was pretty funny. He just rolled with that. He was giving the temperatures in other cities and he said, oh, look here, McKinney, Texas, everyone is dead. A thousand hundred and seven thousand degrees. And then he just kept kept rolling with that through the broadcast.
Patrick Wiscombe:Pretty good by the way, it did feel like 1045 degrees today. You were out cutting the lawn before coming on the air and you were sweating your bald cap off. It was warm. Coming up in this segment always in segment one, we have the hot travel deal of the week. I think we're headed to Asia. Is that right? We are, okay, headed to Asia. We'll get to that here, but let's do two or three travel news stories. Let's start off with United Airlines. They said that they're going to now text passengers a live weather radar. Now, I like this idea because when Nikki and I were in Orlando coming back a couple of weeks ago, we had to navigate Well. First of all, the Orlando airport shut down and then the pilot would come on and say hey, we're the 40th plane in line. We'll take off as quickly as possible. We're trying to find the best route around the weather and I think this will be really helpful.
Mark Faldmo:Yeah, you know, airlines are constantly trying to update their apps and provide more information to travelers and I think, as you mentioned, this is a good one. They will text and it'll also be available in their app Weather Radar at the airports that are involved in their itinerary and also along the routes. Now, obviously, there's nothing you can do about weather, but it will help you know what possibilities would be out there of delays or changes to your flight. A lot of passengers get frustrated when they're in a bright and sunny airport and they say, oh, your plane is delayed because of weather, not realizing that weather was 1500 miles away. So this is good to let them know about that as well.
Patrick Wiscombe:I saw this travel news story that Barcelona is protesting tourism. That one kind of surprised me.
Mark Faldmo:Yeah, they are protesting over tourism. Barcelona is actually probably the most visited country in Europe. Spain, this year is the most visited country and Barcelona is the most popular in Spain, oh really. And so a lot of the local people just felt there were too many tourists there. This is kind of a theme on the podcast destinations that are trying to figure out over tourism and what to do. This was 150 organizations and an estimated 3,000 people that just demonstrated outside of hotels and restaurants. I actually saw that they were also some of them were shooting tourists with water guns.
Mark Faldmo:So and it seems to be directed a lot at the short-term rentals Barcelona City Council has announced they're gonna get rid of 10,000 registered short-term rentals. Those short-term rentals, those short-term rentals usually take tourists into the residential neighborhoods, which the local residents don't like that, and so you know, trying to keep tourism in the tourism districts. Hopefully they will be able to come up with something that the locals agree with. Barcelona is one of my favorite places in Europe to visit. I love going to Montserrat, up to the monastery, going to the Sagrada de Familia, the church that Gaudi designed. It's a beautiful city to visit.
Patrick Wiscombe:I've wanted to ask you this question for a while now. When we do the hot travel deal of the week or the cruise deal of the week and you need to go in to a particular location, I've noticed that when you have talked about hotels, hey, this is a three-star hotel or three-and-a-half-star hotel, four-star hotel, five-star hotel. I've always wanted to ask you this, and so I'm kind of hitting you cold on this, but I know that you'll know the answer anyway. What is the difference between a five star versus a four star, and why does it matter going up a star from four to five?
Mark Faldmo:First of all in that you have to understand how those ratings are or how these ratings come to be. They're not user generated, so they're different from the TripAdvisor. There are some countries that have their own rating system. There are companies like AAA has a really good one, and there's another one called the Star Report, which a lot of travel agents use, and they have professional reviewers that go out and evaluate properties. Oh really, now, a four-star doesn't mean the property is poor compared to a five-star. Also, a one-star doesn't necessarily mean that it's a poor hotel. What those professional raters are usually reviewing are amenities involved. They do also evaluate the quality.
Mark Faldmo:So, yes, there can be some quality issues, especially as you get down into the one and two star properties. But a two star property may be a three or four star hotel, but it doesn't have a swimming pool, so it doesn't meet the criteria. Oh okay, I was talking to a hotel owner in the Cancun area and they were trying to get a AAA five-star. That's kind of the gold standard. Everyone wants a AAA five-star. They had met all of the criteria, except they didn't have a valet, so AAA would not give them a five-star rating. They're in Cancun, everyone comes by transfer, nobody drives to the hotels, so there is no need for a valet there. So some of those ratings have to do with the amenities involved the restaurants, the quality of restaurants, the rooms.
Mark Faldmo:There are many four stars that are probably better than some of the five stars, but they may not have a valet or they may not have a spa or something that the reviewers were looking for to give it that full star. Or in some cases it's room service. I think since COVID the room service thing has kind of gone away, but that used to be a requirement for a higher ranking oh, really, to have room service. So that's how the ranking system works and don't confuse those with user-generated. The TripAdvisor. That's all the customer's experience. What I like to do is look at the professional review first, or the country review. I like to look at third-party like AAA things like that, rather than the country reviews, look at that rating and then look at the user generator review. If it's a four-star hotel and it's getting a four and a half user generated trip advisor review, then it's probably a pretty good hotel. If it's a four-star hotel and it's getting below four stars on the user generated, there may be some issues with that.
Patrick Wiscombe:That's probably the best explanation I've heard ever really from any travel advisor that I've talked to. In this segment of the show it's always the hot travel deal of the week, regardless of the destination. I know we're going to Asia, but what do you have on tap for us?
Mark Faldmo:This is actually a Globus tour that goes to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. It's a small group tour and it's 20 days long, so it's quite long, but it has, I think, a very good price of $6,800 per person, and then that's plus your airfare to get there as well. This goes to some pretty amazing and interesting places. It goes to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, San Rep, Bangkok, Thailand and Chiang Mai.
Patrick Wiscombe:Oh see, I would do this one in a minute.
Mark Faldmo:I've just been looking at the itinerary. I've not been to Cambodia or Vietnam. It's definitely on my bucket list. Thailand is one of my favorite destinations. In Chiang Mai it's in the mountains, at the kind of the foothills of the Himalayas, and you go to an elephant rescue camp, which I've done similar things in Thailand. In Vietnam you go and tour some of the Viet Cong tunnels from the Vietnam War.
Patrick Wiscombe:Yeah, see that would be fascinating to me.
Mark Faldmo:And also for those that like to barter and bargain, this is your destination to get some good shopping in, just don't be afraid to walk away, but I do have a question.
Patrick Wiscombe:You said it's a 20-day tour, $6,800 a person plus airfare, that's three weeks. But why take a group?
Mark Faldmo:tour. There are some people that say, oh, I don't want to be with a group of people, I want to go explore on my own, go at my own pace, which I understand. I highly recommend a group tour. Though you have a tour guide with you, you get insights that you won't get on your own. You can read travel guides cover to cover, and there's nothing like getting insights from a local person, from someone that's from that area, that knows it. Plus, you get special experiences. Some of these companies like Globus, mainly in Europe, but on a lot of their other tours their Asia, south America tours they have like early admissions or private admissions that really make it worth it.
Patrick Wiscombe:We literally started the broadcast talking about how hot it was. I am going to ask when is the best time to travel to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand?
Mark Faldmo:Well, if you go during their hot season, as they call it, you'll think the Bahamas was cool. So this area of the world, they have three seasons. They have the dry season, which is November through February. It's the driest time of year, daytime temperatures around 85 degrees um, and it's also the peak tourist season. Then they have the hot season, which is hot, humid, muggy, oh geez, which is march through June, and some say it's the best time to visit. April is usually the hottest month.
Mark Faldmo:I don't know why people would say maybe they say it's the best time to visit because it's less crowded. No one wants to be there, yeah. And then the rainy season is July through October, and that's the monsoon season that has heavy but inconsistent rains later in that. So the closer to October, the more persistent the rainstorms become when did you go to Thailand with Bangkok? I went to Thailand in November.
Patrick Wiscombe:Okay, so you were there when I went. Was it hot and muggy there, or was it just kind of pleasant 80 degrees?
Mark Faldmo:it was nice it was hot, but it wasn't overly hot. It wasn't like probably what you experienced in the Bahamas this past. I'm pretty particular, pretty sensitive to heat and humidity and it did not bother me in November.
Patrick Wiscombe:All right, we'll take a break here when we come back. Segment two of the show is the Just Cruising segment, and I think we're talking about Holland America, is that right?
Mark Faldmo:We are. We're going to go back to those long voyages from the US that we talked about on earlier shows.
Patrick Wiscombe:I want to do one of these longer voyages. I am really starting to dig on cruising in a way that I never have before, so we'll talk about that in the next segment.

Patrick Wiscombe:All aboard as we serve up some of the best travel news and travel advice that you will get on the radio and online. You are listening to the Inside Travel Talk podcast and radio show. Alongside Mark Faldmo, my name is Patrick Wiscombe. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your Saturday morning. Thank you for inviting us into your ears as you drive around, if you're kicking back at home or if you're just if you're sweating on the treadmill right now. So I did a 22 mile bike ride this morning. That's pretty common for me, you know. Somewhere between 15 and 22 miles is, you know, pretty common for me every day. It was hot and I'm not going to talk about the weather because that sounds like an old man. Move right there.
Mark Faldmo:Yeah.
Patrick Wiscombe:Yeah, it sure is hot outside. Yeah, it is, and everyone is sweating. All right, this is the Just cruising segment, and we're going to be talking about Holland America's legendary voyages, didn't we do? This? Was this last week, or was it that a couple weeks ago?
Patrick Wiscombe:I think three weeks ago was it okay time we did it yeah all right, so we're going to talk about some of their legendary voyages, but let's get to the cruise news of the week, and I thought this was kind of funny because this is in a a little bit of contrast. Let's start with shirt cruises, that they're actually trending. So my question to you is what is defined as a short cruise now? Is it three days, four days, six days or less?
Mark Faldmo:three and four day is kind of the typical, but probably six days or less is a shorter cruise. In the past if you wanted a shorter cruise you could do a three or four day out of the Los Angeles area or a three or four day cruise out of Miami Fort Lauderdale area or I should say Florida, because all three of those. Port Canaveral also has had them. They've become so popular on cruises that more ships than ever are offering shorter cruises and they're also being offered from more ports. For instance, from Galveston you can take a shorter cruise that goes to Costa Maya, Progresso or Cozumel. You can go to some pretty interesting places on shorter four or five night cruises. There are also shorter cruises out of Jacksonville.
Mark Faldmo:Cruise lines like MSC that have never offered the shorter cruises are getting into that short cruise market. On that the MSC Divina will be in Miami and just do three or four night Bahamas cruises. The MSC Seashore will do more three and four night sailings to the Bahamas. Norwegian has more ships than ever. They actually have a four day cruise to Bermuda from New York. So there are now more choices than ever for the short cruises. But cruise lines are finding the shorter cruises are a good gateway to other cruises, and so we've talked about cruise lines putting their schedules in as far out as 2027 now. Oh, really, yeah, so years in advance. And then also the shorter cruises are giving more people the opportunity to cruise, or at least experience it, to see if they like it. I think cruising is the best vacation. Some people don't like cruising for various reasons, but some people might be afraid to try a longer cruise in case they didn't like it.
Patrick Wiscombe:Or if they just get seasick.
Mark Faldmo:Or if they just get seasick. So a shorter, three or four day cruise will let them know and they're also not as pricey.
Patrick Wiscombe:Good point, One of the things that I found that was very interesting. In your head, think of a map of the world. I think it is absolutely fascinating that we were 13 miles off the coast of Cuba, Cuba, and we're in the middle of the ocean, no one around, and yet you still have Wi-Fi. You can still be connected to the world. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow, but my point being you're in the middle of someplace that you've never had Wi-Fi before and yet you still can connect and send pictures and connect with your loved ones. Let's talk about cruise ship Wi-Fi here for a second. Even in the past three years, the Wi-Fi here for a second.
Mark Faldmo:Even in the past three years the Wi-Fi has made a huge jump. I used to get on and it would take me three or four minutes I am talking like four years ago 10 minutes to send and receive my emails. Wow, yeah, it was slow. And now, with Elon Musk and Starlink, many cruise lines are connecting to that and you have streaming quality internet out in the middle of the ocean. Yeah, it's amazing and it's a great feature. So I'm just going to go through a list of what cruise lines have. Our listeners will know which cruise lines have Starlink. So American Cruise Lines, which does Mississippi River, Alaska, Florida Keys they have Starlink added to their entire fleet. Love the Florida Keys. Carnival Corporation, so Carnival Cruise Lines. Holland America Princess Costa Cunard P&O, which actually we just talked about last week as being absorbed by Carnival Cruise.
Patrick Wiscombe:Lines yeah, isn't that Australia? No, longer.
Mark Faldmo:That's Australia. Yeah, okay, they have installed Starlink on its fleet worldwide MSC. Actually, depending on the ship, they're not fully up on Starlink on all their ships. They do have another internet provider that they have, but two-thirds of MSC ships currently utilize Starlink. So it depends on the ship that you're on.
Mark Faldmo:And then Norwegian Cruise Line or Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, so that's Oceania. Norwegian and Regent Seven Seas is basing it in to their fleet, so it's not on every ship yet but it will be, I think, by the end of Sometime mid 2025. In the Royal Caribbean group, which is Royal Caribbean, celebrity and Silver Sea, looks like only Celebrity has Starlink on all of its ships, but again, they plan to put that on both Silver Sea and Royal Caribbean in the near future. I know Royal Caribbean a few years ago invested in they were putting big antennas on islands and so they were getting internet through kind of a similar system of Starlink, but on land-based antennas, so they weren't relying on the satellite, the old technology satellites that they were before. So Royal Caribbean for about 10 years has had pretty good Wi-Fi and so they're probably just waiting to pay off that investment to get Starlink upgraded.
Patrick Wiscombe:If people have a question which ships have what Wi-Fi, they could just call you. I've wanted to ask you this question, but this is because I've been on high decks of cruise ships, meaning I don't know what's considered a high deck, what number and above. I did stay on deck nine of the MSC Seashore Aft facing. We did have a hot tub on our deck. The question I have is what do you like? Do you like high decks or low decks?
Mark Faldmo:I like balconies or above, and those are usually on the higher decks.
Ad Voice:I have a hard time in other cabins.
Mark Faldmo:There's a little bit more to this high deck versus low deck discussion and one of it is, if you're susceptible to seasickness. There's also front and back versus middle of the ship. Yeah, okay. So if you're worried about ship's motion, the lower you are and right in the middle of the ship is the Okay. So if you're worried about ship's motion, the lower you are and right in the middle of the ship is the best place to be. Oh really, if you can't get the middle of the ship, you go to the back of the ship, but you'll generally get a little bit more engine vibrations in the back of the ship and then the front of the ship usually has the most motion. Okay, so the pros of a lower deck staterooms are usually slightly larger than higher decks. They usually have a little bit more square footage. Oh, I didn't know that. So I've noticed that on some ships other ships that's not as noticeable Lower decks are usually quieter and more peaceful. They're further from the crowds, further from the restaurants and shops and pool decks.
Patrick Wiscombe:Now that I think about it, yeah, that really is the case, Because when I was down on deck five or six of MSC Shore, I'm like man, it's really quiet around here.
Mark Faldmo:So that is the pros of a lower deck. Another one is they're less expensive. The lower you go, the lower the price. The lower you go, the lower the price. The higher you go, the higher the price, generally speaking. The cons of lower decks usually limited views. Again, there's very few balconies that would be considered a lower deck balcony. They're usually insides or outsides.
Mark Faldmo:Elevator access is harder on the lower decks Since everything is located on higher decks on ships the restaurants, usually the pool deck, all of that. The lower you are, the harder it is to get a elevator and then some lower decks may not have the same amenities. Now let's reverse that to higher decks. The pros of a higher deck good views. A lot of the higher decks are balcony cabins on a lot of ships. They usually have premium amenities better bedding, better bathrooms, mini bars, mini fridges and also priority access. Some of the categories on higher decks give you special access or early access to restaurants, lounges and shipboard facilities that is true, Nicki and I had access to the thermal spa, which was worth every penny for me yes, I spent hours in there yeah, and that was just based on deck.
Mark Faldmo:You were on the cabin you're in included that thermal spa so yeah, you do get, you know again, more amenities there.
Mark Faldmo:Um, the cons of higher decks the rooms can be a little bit smaller on higher decks, more noise and crowds, you know, especially if you're on the deck that's right below the pool deck or right below a restaurant you can get the crowds and then usually, because of the higher amenities that they have, they have a higher price tag. So that's pros and cons of high deck, low deck, front, middle, aft of the ship. I love to cruise, so it doesn't matter where I'm at for me. But but it's good to consider all of that information.
Patrick Wiscombe:Yeah, but you're an aft guy and I got that directly from you. Hey, hey, hang out at the back of the ship, awesome.
Mark Faldmo:Yep.
Patrick Wiscombe:Yep, yep, couldn't agree more. I enjoy it. Yep. Let's get to the cruise deal of the week. Let's talk about Holland America's legendary voyages, and I think that they had a 27 day Amazon explore round trip from Fort Lauderdale. This would fascinate me Absolutely.
Mark Faldmo:I'm in on this one. These legendary voyages are unique. The very first one that we talked about was a round trip, Seattle up to Alaska. That did the summer solstice cruise.
Mark Faldmo:And then a few weeks ago we talked about, I think, round trip Boston. That did Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and then back to Boston. This is another very interesting one, going round trip to the Amazon from Fort Lauderdale. This one combines Southern Caribbean cruise with some South America, so it goes to places like St Martin, Barbados. On its way down to the Amazon stops at a place called Devil's Island, which used to be a penal colony but now it's just a tourist spot, and then you start up the Amazon River. You have two days cruising up the Amazon River. During that you'll cross the equator in the Amazon River and then it has a few stops as it makes its way up to Manaus.
Patrick Wiscombe:Oh see, I'm in for that alone.
Mark Faldmo:One thing I think that's interesting about this is Manaus is 1,500 miles upriver from the mouth of the river, so you're cruising on a cruise ship 1,500 miles up a river, but I guess the Amazon is a pretty big river. I think that's what they told me in school. I've been to the Peruvian part of the Amazon where the river wasn't quite as big yet. You cruise back out the Amazon River. You go to Trinidad and Tobago, Curacao, Aruba and then back to Fort Lauderdale.
Patrick Wiscombe:This is fantastic 27,.
Mark Faldmo:28 days, 27 days 27 days it starts at $5964 per person. That includes all of the taxes, everything. That's the cruise price with everything that's required in the fare and just get yourself to Fort Lauderdale.
Patrick Wiscombe:And, generally speaking, flying into Fort Lauderdale, where did we fly to? Was it Fort Lauderdale? We flew into Fort Lauderdale. Yeah and it was relatively inexpensive to get there Relatively inexpensive.
Mark Faldmo:And then an interesting little side note to this if you want to make it a 30 day cruise and start in New York City. It's about $200 less. That really doesn't add a port to it.
Patrick Wiscombe:No, but you get to go to New York City, which is, you get to go to New York City, yep.
Mark Faldmo:That's totally worth it. That's totally worth it, yeah, so you know that's a very interesting cruise. There's two or three others that I want to highlight over the next few weeks of these legendary voyages, but I think this is a fantastic idea that Holland America has having these longer voyages round trip from US ports that almost basically visit the world.
Patrick Wiscombe:I would do the Amazon in a second.
Mark Faldmo:I should say the date of that. We didn't say the date.
Patrick Wiscombe:That's.
Mark Faldmo:November 24th of 2025. You'd be back in time for Christmas. Yeah, I think that is over Thanksgiving.
Patrick Wiscombe:There's your excuse to go. If you don't want to go, be with me, I'm sorry, I'll be in the Amazon.
Mark Faldmo:My wife loves to cruise over Thanksgiving, so we've been on several Thanksgiving cruises. They do not make her turkey dinner as good as mom makes, but it's still fun to be away.
Patrick Wiscombe:Cranberry sausage, I'm just kidding. Yeah, all right, if you want to book that particular trip, the cruise deal of the week, Holland America's legendary voyage, 27-day Amazon Explorer round trip out of Fort Lauderdale or, for a couple hundred dollars less, go out of New York City.
