Been a fan of La Lido videos with Tony for a bit and just getting to know Tommy, digging his down to earth, Long Island style. Really love the back and forth, with conversation that veers on and off the topic of cruising. On a side note, Tommy’s Always Be Booked (ABB) motto inspired me to go ahead and book my first cruise in almost 30 years. I figured wth, why not? It’s not until November but the anticipation is wonderful! Keep up the great work gents! See you on the high seas!

I have followed Tony for a few years now. My son and I love getting cruise info from him. This podcast is so entertaining to listen to as we drive to and from school. Tony with Tommy is a great combination!

I love listening to these guys and I look forward to the episodes every week. I get so much cruise news and tips each time. I am able to get my cruise addiction fix staved off a little longer until the next time I am on the lido when I listen to these two banter.

WREGLE CHICK · Jan 2026

I had been loving this show but I have to call out Tommy for referring “swimming with pigs” and as Tony pointed out immediately, he was not actually swimming with pigs. Tommy was making a joke about women and referring to them as pigs. I stopped listening at that point. I usually don’t call this stuff out but at my age, I have just had enough of men with a platform using hurtful words to degrade women. I am speaking up. I have been hearing this excused for decades as “just a joke” or “calm down” or “locker room talk”. Enough already.
