This is Cruise Radio. Hey, I'm Matt Baskford. And I'm Doug Parker. Check out our website at cruiseradio.net. Returning to our show, it's been a little while, Chris Elliott, love this man from elliot.org, also National Geographic, Washington Post. He'll be talking about his new book, Scammed. But first, Stuart, you're on the cruise guys here. Hello, Stuart. Hey, Matt. Hey, Doug. Hey, man. I'm always entertained by this to hear somebody got booted off a ship. It was Holland America sailing out of Fort Lauderdale over the weekend for not participating in the lifeboat drill. You know, it's interesting considering, you know, what just happened in Italy for a cruise passenger not to attend a lifeboat trail.

Oh, my.

Oh, it turns out that on Holland America's Westerdam, they had a passenger who essentially refused to attend the lifeboat trail, and they booed him.

I mean, he was escorted off the

ship and of course the big questions are you know can they do that because

they never seemed to do that before today they never did it but if you if you

missed I said put that in quotes if you missed the lifeboat drill then you know

typically what they will do is

they'll put a notice under your door, they'll leave you a message, and give you, you know,

maybe a refresher course, or there could be a myriad of things that they'll do. But, you know,

the lifeboat drills are really imperative, and right after, you know, the accident in Italy, or a cruise passenger to

essentially not want to participate in a lifeboat drill and become familiar with all the safety

equipment and everything on board is, is really unbelievable. But they did give him the boot.

The, you know, international, just when you thought it was safe to hide out in

your cabin

uh... god

what a moron
