0:31.3	Chris Owen from Gatling.com, Chris Cruces.net, and a variety of other fancy publications is with us.
0:36.9	What do you think of Fun Ship 2.0, man? Well, I'll tell you, coming in, I thought it's a great deal, and the neat thing is that people are getting all these neat, new, extra features at no extra charge. But I think there's a lot more story than that here. Let me ask you, we were both in New York, whenever they did the big announcement, like October 2nd earlier this year.

1:43.3	are charging extra for these
1:45.2	sort of things.
1:46.2	And you know what surprises me is the fact that you have the Red Frog Rum Bar, you
1:50.9	have the Blue Guana Tequila Bar, you have the Blue Aquana can'tina, and you have Guy's
1:55.6	burger joint, but yet the Lido deck does not seem overcrowded at all.
1:59.7	No, it doesn't.
