Hey, how's it going?

My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio on the road this week. Yeah, doing it from, well, I'm in Green Valley, Utah, doing some of the national parks and Goblin Valley State Park over the next few days before I make my trek back home. Stuck in another snowstorm last night and just outside

of Denver around Vail. So that was fun. Some white knuckle action there, but I think I'm getting

used to it at this point. Stuart, Sharon, the cruise guy is on the show coming up later on.

We're going to talk and kind of unpack all of the, I even hate even talking about it because

it seems like it's all we're talking about,

but like the CDC, the lawsuits and all that stuff, he's going to break that down for us.

But first, we're going to go in easily into the CDC talk with Richard Sims.

He's going to answer some listener questions that we've been receiving over the past several months.

Hey, Richard.

Hey, Doug.

So the first question here is which line is the best for first-time cruisers? You know, we get that all the time right out of the gate. We're starting with a question that we can't actually answer, at least not specifically. And here's why. You know, there are a lot of people who think that every cruise line is the same.

And if you just get on a cruise ship, you know, you're going to have the same basic experience.

But that's definitely, definitely not true.

You know, for example, if you just decide, I'm going to book myself on a Disney cruise and you get on that ship and you're like, hey, can somebody point me toward the casino?

You're going to be wildly disappointed because there is no casino on a Disney ship.
