She just got back from a 10-day Eastern Mediterranean cruise over on Norwegian Jade,

so we'll get a full review there.

Also, a little later on in the show, we'll have cruising excursions.com stop by to give us a recap

of some really good and inexpensive Mediterranean

short excursions. But first, as always, it's Stuart Chiron, the cruise guy. What's up,

Stuart? Hey, Doug, doing great yourself. Good man. Allure the seas completed a massive dry dock.

What are we going to see? And where is she? Well, she's in the Mediterranean. so being the largest cruise ship in the world, Doug,

anything they do, of course, is going to be massive, because this is a massive

cruise ship at 225,000 tons. They did, you know, they did boost the number of restaurants. They

now have 18 restaurants, including some of the new ones. So now it too has

Azumi, the habachi, it's got sushi, and the tapaniaki menu, as well as sushi. They also have the

Sabre Takira, tequila bar, which has authentic Mexican dishes.

They have the coastal kitchen, which is what debuted on Alour, I'm sorry, quantum of the seas.

So it's got some California cuisine, 10 new sweets.

They've got some new boutiques by Michael Kors and Douglas Parker, which you probably have heard of with his colleague Kate Spade.

Sure.
