Leaning into 2022, and embracing the unknown
In this week’s podcast we look back on 2021, and talk about embracing the unknown with 2022. Well, friends, we are coming to the end of 2021, and it’s been a wild one. We can’t say that 2021 went the way we were expecting, or even hoping, but ultimately we have much to be thankful for. It was a year of unexpected opportunities and growth for us as a family, and as entrepreneurs.
In this podcast we’ll talk about some of those unexpected opportunities, and how we will approach 2022. Last year, we said we were going to seek out lessons, hard stuff, and the uncomfortable. Things that will help us grow. Well, in a sense we achieved those goals. We certainly learned lessons, went through some hard stuff, and yes, we stepped out of our comfort zone. But again, things did not go as expected. Here’s just a short list of things we accomplished that we’ll be touching on in this podcast:
- St. Maarten
- Atlantis & Adventure of the Seas
- 2 Cruises on Carnival Panorama
- Media Event on Scarlet Lady
- Media Event on Navigator of the Seas
So, what about 2022?
Truth is, it’s very difficult to plan any travel right now. There are many factors that are simply just out of our control, at least as it pertains to travel.

Our general plan for CruiseTipsTV is to get back to our roots a little. We intend to produce lots of tip-focused content. Educating will be our primary goal for our channels.
The lessons we learned from 2021 (what we’ll call the “Year of Unexpected Opportunities”) has given us enthusiasm for the unexpected. We are looking forward to what this next year will bring. We’re calling 2022 the “Year of Embracing the Unknown”.

Here’s what people are saying about the CruiseTipsTV Unplugged Podcast
- Love this podcast - so many tips!November 8, 2023 by Berrmic from United States
I’ve listened to many cruise related podcasts and this is the best by far. So many wonderful tips! I’ve become a carry-on only traveler because of CTTV and love being able to avoid the long walk to retrieve my luggage. I took the cruise line personality quiz on the CTTV website and we absolutely loved our first Holland America cruise. Much better fit than our previous cruises. I am always going back to previous episodes to pick up tips and advice I may have missed. Thank you CTTV!

I started listening to the podcast about a month ago. They are so helpful for anyone who is taking a cruise, first or 50th. I’m going on my second cruise soon and just from listening I booked another! Thanks so much for giving me so many tips for my next cruise.
