Brian
By day, Brian runs sales and operations in the HVAC world and owns a consulting company. He's the one asking what everything costs, reading the fine print, and doing the math on whether the package actually saves you money.
Michello
Michello is Brian's partner and co-host, and you'll see him in just about every episode. He's bilingual, which comes in handy more often than you'd think when you're off the ship.
Work hard in the boardroom. Spend it well on the balcony.
Boardroom to Balcony is about the trip you worked hard for. When you've been saving up for a cruise or a getaway, you want to know where the money's well spent and where it isn't.
That's why every episode asks the same thing: is it worth it? We tell you what we paid when we can, what you actually get, and whether we'd do it again.
Where the money goes on a trip.
Cruise ships
Full sailing reviews, specialty restaurants and dining packages. Is the upcharge worth it, or is the buffet just fine?
Excursions
From the White Pass railway in Skagway to Mayan ruins in Costa Maya. Book it through the ship, or skip it?
Stays & getaways
Weekend trips, resorts and yes, the timeshare presentation. We sat through it so you don't have to.
Say hi.
