Summary

In the episode, we interview Kerry about his seven-night Western Caribbean cruise aboard Norwegian Gem. This was the first Norwegian Cruise Line ship to depart Florida since the shutdown in March 2020.

Kerry also discusses what life was like on board during the seven-night voyage and the kind of health protocols the company has in place.

We also learn what it was like being in the Caribbean while a hurricane is spinning around.
