Summary

We talk in detail about Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas. This is one of Royal Caribbean's first ships sailing for US residents. Where are the quiet spots, how does it manage passenger flow and any special spots that stick out.

Sherry has cruise news on:

The CDC has changed some rather important guidance.
Florida is heated and things could get there in Alaska
More cancellations
A big payday for one cruise line executive
A royal ship plans to move to the west coast sooner than expected

Listener Question:

I took a cruise in 2005 aboard the Norwegian Wind out of Honolulu that had a foreign port stop at Fanning Island (Kiribati, Gilbert Islands). Whatever happened to Fanning Island? Will it ever be a cruise stop again? - Paul
