We also have a cruise radio app. You've got to get it because it's everything you want and need about cruise radio in the palm of your hands. On this show, we'll talk to the director of product development for Carnival Cruise Lines, Greg Poplevko. And I had a chance to talk to Scott Lara as he was coming off of Holland America's MS Mazdaim in Lauderdale a couple weeks ago, so we'll get his full review of the MS Moss Dam. But first, Stuart, you're on the cruise guys here. Hello, Stuart. Hello, Matt and Doug. Hey, man. Norwegian Cruise Lines has a big announcement, Tuesday, April 17th, but you have the early details.

Spill it, Stuart.

Well... Norwegian Cruise Lines has a big announcement, Tuesday, April 17th, but you have the early details.

Spill it, Stuart.

Well, some people may think that they're going to do a big reveal for breakaway where they're going to disclose the toilet paper patterns for the new ship.

But what they're actually going to be doing is this is about getaway, and the announcement is going to be in Miami, and it's about the announcement

is going to be that the new ship is going to be based year-round in Miami, which is really

no surprise. That's the announcement? All the hoopla and hype over that.

That the Norwegian getaway is going to be based year-round in Miami when it debuts in 2014.

Speaking of Norwegian cruise lines, they announce today that kids get excursions for free if they book

online by May 13th. Now, it seems like a great deal, but there's some fine print in there,

isn't there? There is. The kids are 12 and under, sailing at the time. They get free short

excursions based on the fact that they are traveling on the same excursions with their adult

parents. Kids 13 to 17 at the time of sailing get a 50% off discount, but it's not, they can't just

go off on their own excursions for free.

They have to go with their paying parents.

The other restrictions are that helicopter, fixed-wing flight scene tours, golf, Orlando

theme parks,

Atlantis and the Bahamas are excluded.
