Customer Reviews
A refreshing, entertaining, and informative podcast on cruising
The information provided by On Deck! was right "On-Deck" with making an informative selection for a cruise. I look forward to the further podcasts to be better informed about my choices and options. Great podcast - On Deck!
Good Cruise Travel Podcast
I was very happy to find this podcast - there is nothing out there for general cruising that I have found enjoyable until now.
I am only on episode #4 right now but am a little discouraged by the Celebrity focus. There are many other lines and people do enjoy them for many reasons. The podcast so far has a note underlying that all lines (except for the premiums) are not as good as Celebrity. This isn't the case, and from the Podcaster's experience I believe that most of their experience is with Celebrity. Looking forward to future episodes that move away from this...
Good podcast, and it could be great!
Great Podcast for First Time Cruisers!
I have been listening to all of On Deck! with Scott & Allie's podcasts. I am a first-time cruiser and their info and reviews are invaluable! They are entertaining and informative. Can't ask for much more in a podcast. I highly recommend it!
