How we review

One question. Every episode.

We don't do hype. We go, we pay attention, and we tell you if we'd spend the money again.

01

What it cost

Real prices when we have them, like the $4,830 we spent on Star of the Seas, so you can do the math for your own trip.

02

What you actually get

The food, the room, the view, the lines, the fine print. The stuff the brochure skips.

03

Would we go back?

The verdict, straight. Sometimes it's a yes, sometimes it's "skip it and do this instead."

Meet your hosts

Two people, one camera, an honest verdict.

We're Brian and Michello, a couple from Tampa who'd rather spend our money on a great trip than a bad one.

Brian spends his weekdays in the boardroom and in customers' homes. On the weekends, we're on a balcony somewhere, usually arguing about whether the specialty restaurant was worth the upcharge.
