This is Cruise Radio.

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. By the way, if you're not a fan of our Facebook page, head over to facebook.com slash Cruise Radio and join the conversation. A lot of

people fired up this week about two different things. The first thing being Carnival starting to charge

for limited items on the room service menu on the ships.

And the second thing, someone wrote a real scathing letter about cruising and how much they

hate it.

And the responses are quite comical.

So that could be found at Facebook.com slash cruise radio.

Coming up on this show, listener Tom from New York City gives his review of his nine-night

Eastern Caribbean sailing aboard Norwegian gym. But first,

a lot of new cruise ships coming out in 2015 and 2016. And here to talk all about it is the

cruise beat editor of TravelPulse.com, Teresa Norton Masick. Hello, Teresa. Hello, Doug. And, you know,

it wouldn't be right if we had you on and didn't talk about the weather in Chicago. So is it warming up a little bit? Yes, actually, right now it's in the 60s, and it's sunny, even though this morning it was pouring rain, so you never know. Yeah, yeah, very good. Well, we're recording this on Easter weekend, so shall we say, let's hop right to it? So new ships coming out. So it looks like we have, for the first one, we have Anthem of the Seas coming out a little

later on this month.

And if you're listening in the future, we're recording this in April of 2015.

So, Teresa, talk to us about Anthem of the Seas.
