With Seatrade Cruise Global opening this week, it's the industry's time to hear from the biggest voices in cruise, and we're adding our voices here.
Host Rebecca Tobin, outgoing cruise editor Andrea Zelinski and news editor Johanna Jainchill look at a wrapup to Wave season, whether tariff talk or stock market convulsions have impacted the business and what to expect from two big cruise ship debuts this week.
And we say farewell to Andrea, who joined our team in early 2022 (and immediately went to Tahiti). We talk about our favorite stories from her three years at Travel Weekly, and where she's headed next -- and how she got her "trail name" of Water Girl.
This episode was recorded April 4 and has been edited for length and clarity.
