Hey, what's up? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here, my friend. We're going to check in with Stuart Shiran, the Cruise Guy, with Cruise News in just a couple of seconds. Also, Dr. Chris from San Diego just returned from a seven-night sailing at Galveston aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas. Looking forward to talking to Dr. Chris here later on in the show as well.

But before that, a couple of housekeeping things. Cruise Radio News, look us up on Facebook. It's our Cruise Radio News Facebook group. Join the conversation. We'd love to have you. A lot of opinions in there. I love it. Just keep them coming. Also, I recently just signed up for a Snapchat and I'll be sailing on Carnival Conquest next week, and I'll be snapping along the way there for the six nights. So if you want to follow along, look me up on Snapchat. Just follow Cruise Radio. I would love to follow you back there as well. All right, Stuart, Sheeraner on the Cruise guy is standing by. What's up, Stuart? Hey, Doug. How's it going? Good man. Coming around out of the gate here just announced a couple of hours ago,

Carnival Inspiration is going in for a massive three-week-long dry dock.

What are we going to see here?

Well, we're going to see the addition of Guy's Burger Joint.

Love it.

We're going to add the Blue Aguana Cantina, the Red Frog Rum Bar, the Alchemy Bar, Blue

Aguaguana Tequila Bar, and Cherry on top, which is the candy stores.

These are a lot of the features that are found on the new ships that we're now going to, you

know, see on more of the fantasy class ships.

It's apparent that Carnival Cruise Line is really going to be doing some significant upgrades

to their oldest ships to make them more relevant and equipped with the latest and greatest

that they've got.

And as we've seen, the Red Frog Rumb Bar really seems to have done exceptionally

well where they were able to create their own fun bar on board their ship where other lines

like NCL, they went with like Margaritaville, which really just doesn't have the same kind

of a feel that they were hoping for.

I guess it's a lot cheaper keeping the branding in the house too, huh?

Well, I mean, it's their own.

Yeah, right.
