Story time on the cruise scam 2025!

My husband and I are huge fans of MTV’s The Challenge, we both have watched it since we were kids and will only purchase Samsung TV’s because they have a free channel on them that only plays The Challenge 😂

So we bought tickets to go on a Challenge Cruise last October. 4 night cruise to the Bahamas with 15 of the Challenge champs. There were challenges on the cruise and the winner could win $20k in prizes. All sorts of events to do with them and parties.

Well last Monday- three days before the cruise the owner of the travel agency that was hosting this made a Facebook POST- no email or anything, stating that he spent all of our money and the event wasn’t happening and none of them were coming. So found out it was either a huge scam or the guy was an idiot and blew through everyone’s money.

There were 400 people attending this thing and we all paid thousands to go. Luckily Royal Caribbean honored all of our rooms still but no food or drink packages (thank god for the buffet or we wouldn’t have eaten the entire time).

The cast mates obviously felt terrible and somehow three of them managed to find a room on the ship (the travel agency never booked their rooms) and they came without getting paid for it!

Despite the s**t show and chaos the trip turned out to be amazing and I am a huge fan of cruises now! If you’re looking to book a cruise use anyone on this earth other than Showroom Travel, if you Google them you’ll see article after article about this scam 😂

Shout out to Chase for refunding our money, Royal Caribbean for letting us on the ship, Cara Paulie and Fessy for coming on the cruise unpaid and Mr. Jones for rescuing us from the deserted island in the Bahamas!

If your knees are clicking and clacking then you have tight quads and IT bands. Which is going to create restrictions on your hip flexors, glutes, and knees.

Things you can do to help:
✅Stretching- Quad stretch, Pigeon Pose, Figure 4, etc
✅Foam Roll
✅Body Tempering

Keep those knees fresh and book a temper session with me!

Sometimes all you need is some heavy steal on your back to squeeze out all the stress and tension.

My husband has never been the most flexible person and he stretches like never so for him to be able to touch his toes even a pinch is a win!

This was only about 10 minutes of rolling with the 50 pound roller. We did his back and calves then each hamstring which were tore up.

We’re gonna have his whole palms on the floor in no time 🤸‍♂️

Does tempering hurt?

Pain tolerance is different for everyone. Personally, I enjoy the pressure, but the great thing about tempering is that it’s adjustable. The smallest roller is 50 pounds which can feel a little intense at first, but after a few minutes we break through the surface tension and your body will relax.

If you like deeper pressure, I can add more by using my body weight.

So, does it hurt? Not really, it’s not meant to be painful, but it’s also not a spa-like massage either. Think of it as therapeutic pressure that your body adapts to quickly.

Last night my husband tempered me because my hamstrings were screaming from the program I’ve been doing (hello endless RDLs 🥴).

What stood out to me during the session was how much tempering challenges pain tolerance. Once he found those tight, knotty spots, he applied extra pressure and held it there. As much as I wanted to kick him, I chose to focus on my breath and work through the discomfort.

That simple shift of breathing through the pain instead of fighting it, put me into a whole new mindset. And today? Zero hamstring pain. Zero tightness. 🙌

Tempering doesn’t just help the body recover, it helps train the mind too. If you focus on your breath work during the session it can allow you to release and even handle heavier weight/ pressure than you thought.
