| 0:21.8 | We're doing Cruise Radio. Sorry about that. This episode of Cruise Radio, a review of Harmony of the Seas this week. Also, Sherry Laskin dropping by with Cruise News. I got thrown off at the beginning of the show because I just recorded my Cruise Radio News Briefs. And speaking of that, a good segue. |

So literally, |
| 0:55.5 | like minutes after we recorded last week, Carnival comes out with naming their XL ship, that's the 180,000 |
| 1:02.1 | ton ship, the Marty Graw. My question is to you, what do you think about them using a name from |
| 1:08.3 | 1972 in 2020? Well, you're probably going to laugh, but I like it. |

And, you know, it's a first and a new class of ship. It's a 50th anniversary coming up. So they have some reasons for doing that. I think it won't launch until 2020 anyway, and it's going to be up in my neck of the woods at Port Canaveral, so I'm pretty excited. So it makes me wonder if they'll use another throwback name for their next to Excel class ship. I was wondering that too in the carnival and all those. |
| 2:02.4 | Who knows? |
| 2:02.9 | Tropical. |
| 2:04.6 | You know, they just might. |
| 2:06.5 | You know, just start. |
| 2:08.4 | There's so many duplicate names now that if they want to start from scratch and move their way forward, it kind of makes sense. |
| 2:16.8 | Yeah, definitely. |
