Well, we are lucky enough to have a good friend of ours join the show who just happened to experience a stay aboard the Halcyon, recently. So, this week, we're Galactic Starcruising With Nate. He'll share spoiler-free details about his adventure and help us decide if this high-end experience is right for us.
