| 0:00.0 | One of our viewers on YouTube recently asked me, what are the three things I would love to see on the new Discovery Class ships? |
| 0:06.1 | And what are three features I don't want to see on there? |
| 0:08.6 | I thought it was a great question, actually. |
| 0:10.5 | And it was asked during one of our Monday night live streams on YouTube, which we do every week on Monday, 7.30 p.m. Eastern September, we join us for it. |

| 0:58.0 | are three things that you probably do care about, |
| 1:00.6 | but I don't, and hashtag, sorry, not sorry. |
| 1:03.7 | Number one is a food hall. |
| 1:05.8 | By far, one of the best things that ever came out |
| 1:09.1 | on the icon class cruise ships was the Aquedome market. |
| 1:12.8 | I think having a food hall is something that was sorely missed. |
