0:17.7	Hey, what's up? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. So happy to have you here, my friend. On this episode, we'll check in with Don Bucalo. He just returned from Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas out of Port Canaveral, and he had a fabulous time with his wife, so we'll get a full bow to stern, comprehensive review of that ship. But first, it's Stuart. John the cruise guy. What's up, Stuart? Hey, Doug. How's it going?
0:21.6	Good, man.
0:37.6	So starting off with some not-so-go- comprehensive review of that ship. But first, it's Stuart. Sheer on the cruise guy. What's up, Stuart?

1:46.1	Okay, good. Switching gears here.
