Welcome back, Winners!
This week’s Wanderlust Wednesday episode of the Two For The Win Podcast takes you beyond the headlines and into the reality of cruising. With so many stories circulating—from viral “poop cruise” documentaries to rare but sensationalized accidents—hosts Nick and Wil sit down to unpack what’s really happening at sea and why travelers should keep perspective before letting fear cancel their dream vacation.
Drawing on Nick Mornard’s extensive experience with Dream Vacations, this conversation breaks down the myths, risks, and realities of cruise travel. While social media often amplifies rare incidents, the truth is that cruising remains one of the safest and most enjoyable ways to explore the world. With thousands of ships sailing daily and only a handful of incidents in the last decade, the statistics speak for themselves: your next cruise is far more likely to deliver joy, relaxation, and unforgettable cultural experiences than disaster.
Key Takeaways from Episode 143:
-Cruise Safety vs. Perception
-The Control Illusion
-Choosing the Right Cruise Experience
-Weather & Itineraries
-Travel Insurance Tips
Why This Topic Matters
Travel should inspire excitement, not anxiety. Understanding the realities of cruising helps you replace fear with perspective and embrace opportunities for cultural exploration, relaxation, and adventure. Instead of worrying about what might go wrong, focus on what usually goes right—99.999% of the time. Whether you’re planning your first cruise or your fiftieth, this episode will help you feel confident about setting sail.
