For the most part, he delivers with this show. Cruising Authority
informs listeners about the cruise industry and what happens behind the scenes. Barry is a comfortable, informed host who
clearly displays avid interest in the industry which makes him a skilled speaker on the subject. He also has good interviewing
skills, and all of the interviews we heard have been relevant, informative, and easy to understand. Barry does an exceptional
job of bringing the listener into the cruise experience with music, sounds of the ocean, and interviews with crew members
and others on the ships. In fact, the recordings are so well produced that listeners will feel like they are on board a luxury
cruise liner.
Edgy Reviews from That Podcast Show
"It's a trade," said Barry Vaudrin, who hosts an Internet radio show on cruising. "You are
getting a free cruise for your ability to lecture on a particular topic. It's an easy gig, but not easy to get."

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to
say "THANKS" for the wonderful shows you provide us cruise junkies. I found you about 6 months ago on I-tunes and
immediately subscribed and have never looked back. Your enthusiasm is awesome and you obviously love what you do. The shows
are well done and I can't wait for the next one. My favorites have been SS Norway, Bill Miller and John Maxtone-Graham,
and of course Peter Knego. I 'm a true ship nut and only wish I could be sailing all the time, somehow it seems that I
was born about 30 years too late and missed out on those grand old liners.... you put the excitement back in to my
workaday life, and offer me a chance, however brief to escape to a destination, a new ship, maybe a classic, to listen about
those great times to be had relaxing in a deck chair with a good book and the smell of the salt air. Please keep up the good
work....as you can see I really enjoy it.
I look forward
to your future shows and wish you nothing but smooth seas,Lindel

I just wanted to send you an email thanking you for sharing your Norway videos,
I am a crew member for Norwegian currently (I was on the Pearl June 2008 - Dec 2008) and will be on the Spirit next. I am
a finance officer onboard. Also, I have listened to your pod cast, and you have some great interviews on there.Michael McKay
Barry, you are seriously
such a good entertainer. I don't know if you know it, but you are! There is just something about you that is so engaging.
I love watching your videos and listening to your talk shows. You have such a passion for what you do and your genuine nature
comes through coupled with the fact that you can laugh at yourself. I've been sharing your videos with friends and you're
quickly growing a fan base.
Michelle,
