Hey, I'm Matt Baskford. And I'm Doug Parker. Check us out, not only on our website at cruiserrady.net, but on our YouTube channel. We have, like, close to a million hits on there. What? Yeah. Sweet. We're going to talk to Nancy Shredder, our good friend from the Family Travel Network. She is aboard the Norwegian Pearl Four. I know your cellist Doug. Big time. The Blake Shelton Cruz.

Love me some Blake Shelton. I know you do, boy. Yeah, it's an excellent lineup of live music on board, and we will check in with her while she's in Puerto Rico. Also, she'll be telling us some things to do when you're in Puerto Rico. But first, Stuart, she around the cruise guys here. Hello, Stuart. Hey, Matt.

Hey, Doug.

Hey, man.

Carnival Conquest heads to Dry Dock for Fun Ship 2.0. She's getting a little more than Carnival Dream last month, right? Yes, exactly. And she's going to be the October 14th to the 28th, so she'll be in for a two-week dry dock. Each of these ships, they're getting different features.

So what can we expect on Carnival Conquest?

I'm glad you asked, and I'll fill you in. She's getting the Red Frog Rum Bar, the Blue Iguana tequila bar, the Alchemy Bar, the

beloved EA sports bar, guys, burger joint, the blue iguana canteena punchliners comedy

club, Hasbro, the game show, playlist productions, and the DJ music by DJ IRIRI.

A lot going on.

So it should be pretty exciting. The ship, which debuted in 2002, is due for an update, and she's going to look spectacular when she comes out. That's cool. She sails, what, year-round out of New Orleans? Yes. Cool. Big news out of the Norwegian Cruise Line camp today. A new ship announced. Now, will this be duplicates of Norwegian breakaway and getaway? No, and Doug, I'll tell you, this announcement came out of nowhere.

Yeah, no one saw this one coming.

You know, they're, of course, getting ready for Norwegian breakaway, and then they've got

Norwegian getaway, so that's 2013 and 2014.

So this ship order is going to be 163,000 tons for 4,200 passengers.

So the ship is going to be even larger than Norwegian Epic, which is pretty exciting.
