Hello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast; I am delighted to welcome Rose Perry, SipWatchTravel. Just being a cruise enthusiast and world traveler means she has the kind of stories that I would like to bring to my listeners, but there is so much more to Rose.

Rose is a certified sommelier and lifestyle creator behind SipWatchTravel, a platform centered on elevated food, wine, and travel experiences with a strong focus on coastal living and day-drinking culture. She has a particular love for cruising and the unique blend of relaxation, exploration, and indulgence it offers, which has become a recurring theme in her content. She is excited to be featured on The Joy of Cruising Podcast and will also be appearing on another podcast later this year, continuing to share her perspective on travel, lifestyle and curated experiences.

Rose Reyna Perry, JD, is an attorney and Director of Contracts & Grants Administration, where she oversees contract negotiations, licensing, and grant strategy across a growing multi-state footprint.

Hello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul, and let me introduce my co-host for today’s episode, Cheryl.

Welcome to this episode featuring our reflections on Virgin Voyages newest lady ship, Brilliant Lady which we had the pleasure to sail March 12-21 on a special sailing known as a Red Hot Sailing Club Voyage, special voyages—I think there’s a couple per year—that feature a special guest performance, in our case legendary performer and song writer, Nile Rodgers, and Chic, guest speakers like the Virgin Voyages CEO, Nirmal Saverimuttu, and other special events. In some past Red Hot Sailing Club Voyages, Virgin Group Chairman, Richard Branson made an appearance. He was not billed to appear on ours, but on the last seaday, which was supposed to include a stop at Bimini, Virgin Voyages private island in the Bahamas, Branson appeared onboard.

Hello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast; I am delighted to welcome back Billy D. Washington. Billy D. was one of my first guests three years ago way back on Episode 8. He also was the first stand-up comedian I have hosted on the podcast, and regular listeners know I have since had several comedians and other cruise ship performers given my love of comedy and music. Now 230 episodes later it is my pleasure to welcome Billy D.back.

I first met Billy D. three-and-a-half years ago when we took my granddaughter LaKi on Carnival Mardi Gras for her 13th birthday. On the first day aboard, we watched Billy D at the family-friendly comedy show and laughed raucously, and then watched every version of Billy D’s uncensored sets in the PunchLiner Comedy Club. He was hilarious, and what set him apart besides his unique delivery, timing, and total unpredictability—was his incorporation of a keyboard in his act. He also had a non-traditional perspective of having had a career in law enforcement.

Our first conversation was funny and thought-provoking. With Billy D., I fully expect that to be the case again.

Welcome back Billy D. to The Joy of Cruising Podcast.
