Cruise Radio.

Hey, how's it going?

My name is Doug Parker.

Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here. Just a few more weeks left of 2020. Be so happy to put this behind us. So Sherry Laskin is here with Cruise News and a review of Norwegian epic this week. So we'll jump right to Sherry. Hey there. Hi, Doug. So Carnival Cruise Line is pushing back

the return for a few ships. Yeah, they just announced plans to send three ships into Dry Dock.

The ships that are affected include Carnival Magic and those cruises have been canceled through

September 21st. Carnival Paradise cruises are canceled through May 31st, and finally,

Carnival Valor is canceled through September 11th. And as you might expect, Carnival's offering,

for those who want to rebook, they can get a 100% future cruise credit plus an onboard credit,

or of course, they can ask for a full refund. You know, when you're talking about this story, it had me thinking, by the time some of these ships go back to service, they all have been out of service for 18 months. Yeah, a few cobwebs. Yeah, wild, right? Yeah, that's really strange. Who would have thought? Well, some of us did. Yeah, but some good news for Carnival.

Yeah, so last week, Carnival Horizon, and we reported on this, Carnival Horizon return to Florida,

and then this week, Carnival Breeze moved from the Bahamas where it's been floating offshore

for a few months to Port Miami. Eventually, when the ship does meet all of the CDC requirements, it's supposed to head

north to port Canaveral. But like everything else in the cruise world lately, you never know

if plans can change. So this next story is two parts, because one, Royal Caribbean debuted their

contact tracing device called the tracelet. So first, tell us about this.

Yeah, so Royal Caribbean trademarked the word tracelet a while ago. And this is for their new

wristband that's intended, like you said, to assist in contact tracing aboard the ships.
