Cruise Radio Surpasses 30,000 Weekly Listeners

When I got into work this morning I almost couldnt believe my eyes.  My travel show (Cruise Radio) month end reports were released and the Cruise Radio listenership is over 31,000 people a week!  To think that a show under a year old is getting more views than a lot local TV/ Radio stations blows my mind.

I wish I could personally shake every listeners hand for believing in Cruise Radio and tuning in week after week.

If I could, I would like to thank a list of people for helping make this show what it is today.

A big Thank You to:

Mike Monahan, Marketing Director at CruiseOne, for believing in our product and sponsoring us.

TJ Macyfor the brain storming session at the very beginning stages

Matt Basford for the hours of behind the scenes work producing the show and making our show sound better than any network show!

Stewart Chiron (Cruise Guy) for joining us week after week, whether he is in Mexico, Europe or floating in the Atlantic Ocean on a cruise ship, he has always been here giving great advice and commentary.

Chris Elliott for giving his expert advice on topics across the board.

Geoff Edwards, Ralph Grizzle, Anne Campbell, Vance Gulliksen at Carnival Cruise Lines Corporate, Scott Lara and numerous PR agencies across the country for setting up great interviews.

Our Twitter/Facebook followers for re-tweeting and sharing our shows.

Brooke Morris our web guru. Craiger Williams our talented voice over artist.

God, bosses, friends, co-workers, parents, and believers — You all rock!

We have a great team assembled and look forward to many more episodes.

Episode 41- Summer Travel Tips

Hilton Pensacola Beach Gulf Front

Hilton Pensacola Beach Gulf Front

12 Via de Luna Drive
 Pensacola Beach, Florida, United States 32561
Tel: 1-850-916-2999   Fax: 1-850-934-0891

We stayed at this property while taping Cruise Radio and they exceeded our expectations. 

The property in centrally located, beach front, walking distance to restaurants and shops, along with nice interior corridors… not to mention Beach Front!

Check in was flawless. The whole team was in-sync and got us into our room efficiently and quickly.  Parking was free. There was a covered parking deck that housed approx 50 cars and plenty of open air parking that wrapped around the building.

The rooms were quiet and really clean (we stayed in a typical two bed).  Downstairs two sparkling pools were out side and a hot tub, along with an indoor pool.  By the pool was a pool sidebar with excellent prompt bar service.  Towel service was also available by the pool which was really convenient. 

Just beyond the pool was the white sandy beaches of Pensacola.  Along the beach was little sun bathing stations complete with a chair, umbrella and little table to separate. Very relaxing!

Inside the lobby was a three station business center, free wifi (surcharge for in-room internet), a Asian themed restaurant (moderately priced), bar, coffee shop, and plenty of areas to lounge.

Overall I would recommend the place to any vacationer, meetings, someone looking for a marriage venue  or just for a quick weekend getaway.. it has it all!
