Hey, I'm Matt Baskford, and I'm Doug Parker. Check out our cruise news at CruiseRadio.net. A couple of big announcements happened over the past week. Carnival Cruise lines announced some new food venues on the upcoming Carnival Breeze. We'll have the director of product development. Greg Povcco, to give us all the details. Also, MSC cruises

announced they'll be home porting their brand new MSC Divina in the Port of Miami. Scott is down in the Port of Miami with Port Director Bill Johnson. So we'll check in with them a little later. But first, Stuart Sching around the cruise guy. Hello, Stuart. Hey, Matt, they, Doug. Hey, man. And so they've already cut the steel for the new Norwegian cruise line ship, the breakaway.

But apparently they're starting to work on the main part of it, Stuart?

Well, what they've done is the first 73 blocks of the ship have now been completed.

So they've been lifted into the covered building dock in Poppenburg, Germany.

And this is where the Disney ships and the Celebrity Solstice class ships were built, so it's going to be pretty exciting.

And so essentially, this is a 350-ton block that was put into place by an 800-ton crane,

and from this point on, this is when the ship will then start to take form.

But they're building this in like under 12 months.

Is that kind of fast or not really?

Not really because essentially, Doug, really, you know, once the keel is laid and the lower

structure of the ship is done

the other parts are like puzzle pieces so like a big lego set havens uh... are all

being uh... pre-manufactured

and all the rooms are being done and then it just kind of get laid in like uh...

like a puzzle
