Hey, I'm Matt Baskford. And I'm Doug Parker. Check out our Cruise News and Videos at CruiseRadio.net. On this show, we'll talk to Dan Skilkin, president and CEO of Trip Insurance.com. Yes, they finally insure iPhones. My dream come true. But not just iPhones. We'll tell you more in a moment. Also, yeah.

Very commercial of you to say that. How about that? Come it up. And you had a chance to go to NASA last week. Yeah, talk to Andrea Farmer with the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

cases, believe it or not, some of these ships that left with a couple thousand people on

it who are able to make the adjustments to their schedules to get to the pier early. So it's

very important that you fill out this information. So if there are deviations, the cruise lines can contact you with these changes.

But up in the northeast, Carnival had, you know, their ship out of Baltimore. Carver Pride wound

up canceling of sailing and riding it out in the Chesapeake Bay. The Norwegian gem was unable to get back in time for its scheduled departure, so it was stayed at sea.

And what they wound up doing is they went up to Boston a couple days ago in order to get
