No Bimini, No Beard, No Tom

Tom ditched us. Baby face Kennedy shaved, got a life, and left Trevor and Jenn to hold down the fort — and honestly? They managed just fine. This week the dynamic duo digs into Royal Caribbean reshuffling ships in Galveston, the Carnival Spirit's mysterious "unexpected modification" that cost passengers a trip to Bimini, and the big menu news Tom tipped them off about before ghosting — pork chops are reportedly making their triumphant return to the MDR. Plus, a shipbuilder just unveiled plans for a fully battery-powered cruise ship and Trevor immediately started worrying about electric bike fires. Our favorite Aussie correspondent Tim checks in via Speakpipe before heading off to board the Carnival Splendor, and Trevor and Jenn bond over spa thermal suites, tornado warnings at the movies, and the eternal mystery of beluga lentils.
