Broadcasting from the Tripinsurance.com studios in Jacksonville, Florida. This is Cruise Radio. Hey, how's it going? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. A review of Carnival Pride this week. Also, Sherry Laskin is here with Cruise News. Before we get to Sherry, so I did a couple of, well, I have a couple of new YouTube videos uploaded.

0:38.9

Did a walkthrough of Carnival Vista.

0:40.9

That's now live.

0:42.6

Also, a couple of weeks ago, I was on Carnival Pride right before it went into Dry Dock.

0:47.1

So that video was uploaded as well, a complete walkthrough.

0:49.7

Now, the only thing they changed on Pride during the dry dock pretty much. I mean, they

1:41.7

contingent upon financing. But I don't think I've ever heard of one not going through. So it's kind of exciting. And there's the fifth one that's on order, too. It's expected to come out in 2021. So they are just cranking out these oasis class ships. Norwegian cruise lines, Norwegian epic, had a hell of a week over the past week with a little this, little of that. Talk to us about it. Yeah, you kind of summed it up pretty good. It wasn't a good week for Norwegian Epic. And first, the ship had mechanical issues on its way, left Port Canaveral. And we saw it leave, actually, on that sailing. That's right. We were at fish slips in the rain, or grills rather.
