| 0:20.2 | Very happy to have you here. A review of Carnival Horizon today. Richard is here with Cruise News. |
| 0:26.3 | So over the weekend, I got this bug to buy a drone. I saw one at the beach with one and I'm like, |
| 0:31.8 | I got to get one of these things. So I was pricing them and they're not cheap. So I went to Best Buy and I picked one up and I have a golf course behind my place. So I was learning how to fly it on the golf course. And then a couple of days ago, Carnival Elation was leaving.

| 1:41.5 | well, that's interesting, but it's, you know, doesn't impact me. |
| 1:44.5 | It's not that big a deal. |
| 1:45.7 | But what really matters is that they're getting a ton of local publicity. |
| 1:49.5 | I guarantee you if you live in one of these towns, if you live in Galveston, if you live in Miami, |
| 1:45.2 | if you live in one of these ports when a new carnival ship comes in and they're throwing this big party and they've got celebrities and they're giving money to charity, you're going to see it everywhere. |
