This is Cruise Radio.

Hey, what's up?

My name is Doug Parker.

Thank you so much for checking out of this episode of Cruise Radio.

A new website, revamped, and a new feature called SpeakPipe on there, just to the right-hand side

of CruiseRadio.net, where you can leave

voicemails for us here on the show, like listener Sonia Shrode, from Houston, Texas.

Hi, Doug, this is Sonia from Houston, Texas. Love the new website. Congratulations and way to go.

Bye. On this show, we'll get a review of Royal Caribbean's Grandier of the Seas. Listener Janet Heaton just returned from a seven-night Caribbean sailing aboard her, and she'll give us a comprehensive review. But first, Stuart, Shiran the cruise guy. What's up, Stuart? Hey, Doug, how's it going? Good, man, so this is rather interesting. We'll kick the show off with MSC ordering two more ships. Now this is on the heel of them ordering a couple of ships a

couple of months ago, didn't they? Yeah, back in October. They ordered two ships that were going

to be essentially in the quantum class size. They're going to 167,600 tons from the French yard and from the

Italian yard, which is what, you know, FinCantieri, which builds the Carnival Corp ships, they ordered

two 154,000 tons ships. Wow. So it's, it's a, you know, these are some really big orders with

some really big ships.

Do you think they're overbuilding?

Well, it's interesting.

A lot of people would say they overbuilt on the cargo side, on the cruise side.
