- HAL Noordam rescues sightseeeing boat Listener question:A Villa on Carnival's private island Half Moon Cay for 8 people is $499.99. The villa itself holds 18 people.

| 0:16.9 | Hey, what's up? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise |
| 0:20.8 | Radio. I was so happy to have you here, my friend. Don't forget the articles and stories |
| 0:25.4 | and comments keep on rolling at cruiseradio.net or Facebook.com slash cruiseradio. I laugh when I say |
| 0:33.5 | comments because, boy, you guys are pretty opinionated. I have to tell you that much. In full disclosure, coming up a little later on in the program. We're going to air an interview that I recorded back in February. So I'm talking about the cold weather and all that. So just so you don't think I'm going crazy, it is 100 degrees here in Florida, not in the 40s, like I said in the interview, but I just wanted to clear |
| 0:54.6 | that up first. Stuart Shiran, the cruise guy, is actually taking a very cool trip. He's doing a |

| 1:31.6 | at a specialty restaurant every single night. |
| 1:34.7 | Now they've made it so you can choose how many nights you want to dine in a specialty |
| 1:39.0 | restaurant. |
| 1:40.0 | So for instance, if you're on a seven-night cruise, you can choose to dine in a specialty restaurant, three nights up to seven. |
| 1:47.6 | So for three nights, you choose the nights, it's $59. |
| 1:52.5 | Okay, so it's not just available for cruises that are seven nights. |
| 1:56.2 | You could do it on a three-night or a five-night or whatnot. |
