This is Cruise Radio. Hey, how's it going? My name is Doug Parker. Thanks for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Happy to have you here. A review of Disney Wonder coming up on this week's show.

I'm going to answer a couple of shore excursion questions about Northern Europe excursions to take. Before we go with Sherry Kennedy and doing cruise news, I want to remind you of a couple of things. Cruise Radio News, our Facebook group, come and kick around the cruise conversation over there. Also, I'm going to Bermuda in a couple of weeks, and I've

never been before, thinking about just sticking with the basics on what to do when I'm over

there. So shoot me an email and let me know what there is to do or what I should check out.

so I think everyone's going to be happy with that. They're going to have a helium balloon,

you know, like a hot air balloon thing tethered, where you'll be able to take rides up and down.

As long as the ropes don't break,

I think it sounds like fun. There's going to be something called Chill Island and Oasis Lagoon,

which is a large freshwater pool. That's going to open this year, too. So they're really, you know,

charging ahead full speed with this. They want to get this ready for winter cruising.

Then in May of 2019, they're having this new thrill water park and a zip line are going to open.
