| 0:17.5 | Hey, what's up? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here, my friend. Coming up a little later on in the program, we'll get a full review of Norwegian Dawn. And also, it was just announced this morning, Thursday, March 5th, 2015, in case you're listening in the future, that Carnival Cruise Line is starting carnival journeys. Now, you may be asking yourself, what is Carnival Journeys? Well, to answer that, Terry Thornton, Senior Vice President of Itinerary |
| 0:41.5 | Planning is with us right now. Good morning, Terry. Hi, how are you today, Doug? Good, my friend. |
| 0:46.2 | So just announced, very exciting stuff. So first off, before we do a deep dive into Carnival |
