Summary

We get a seven-night review of Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. This went to the ABC islands and sailed roundtrip from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Sherry has cruise news on:

Princess Cruises raising gratuities
Cruise ship quarantined because of the measles outbreak
Royal Caribbean laying the keel for an upcoming ship
The financial impact of the Oasis of the Seas dry dock accident in April

Listener Question: How easy is it to get to LAX from Long Beach. We are in the planning stages of our upcoming cruise and trying to figure out if an Uber is cheaper than a Carnival transfer. We are a family of 4.
