Our mission is this: You work hard as a podcaster and you likely do most of it all alone. Not only are you entitled to a vacation - you're entitled to get some social time with other like-minded individuals. So why not combine the two - all while you are still growing your podcast, finding guests, learning from others, and writing the whole thing off?!?  Personally, we'd rather make a new friend than a huge profit, so we only mark up a small amount to provide some open bar parties, your shirts, directory, name tags, etc. All closely matched to our out-of-pocket expenses - so, essentially, you pay for a cruise and get to come to a workshop and networking event for free. This is our vision for creating and growing this cruise year after year.

In short, the answer is No. Anyone can publicly book the same cruise, but without a Podcaster's At Sea Name Badge or VIP Wristband, you will not be allowed in our networking events, mastermind sessions, pre-cruise party at the hotel, private dinners in main dining room, cocktail parties, private excursions, beach party, Pizza and Podcasting networking, costume party, the Podcasters Directory, or private Facebook group. So, if you want to grow your podcast, book with us. We make a small profit per cabin and most of that goes to Little Shop of Cruises for facilitating this great adventure. They are the best in the business to make this special event at sea the best work-ation you ever had.  

The Podcaster's Cruise is "By Invitation Only" . So, when you book, please let us know who referred you. If you already booked and have not done that, please contact us. We have a group leader program and sometimes with word of mouth and people booking months later the person that referred you does not always get the credit. We like to make sure they do.

Your booking includes ALL of our audience-building & monetization mastermind sessions, private parties, networking events and dinners!

INCLUDES All Cruise Fees! That means, all port charges, government fees and taxes are covered in the price. 

Note: Carnival’s online rates do NOT include gov. fees and taxes, but our group rates do!

(All your means On-Ship ARE included.) Optional shore excursions are not included. Things like the SPA are extra. Hard alcohol drinks from the bar and wine are not included and you can put these on your sign-n-sail card.

The excellent dining room is free but the ship does have a Supper Club which is one of the best steak houses you can eat at. That is like $30 a person and optional. It is something you ll wan't to do at least once. 

On the Mardi Gras, there is a rollercoaster that does cost an additional fee to ride.

Everyone gets a chance to introduce themselves, come back later to ask questions and contribute in the sessions.
