You should too.

Tim just returned from a six-night cruise out of Port Miami on Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas.

It went over to Cocoa Key, Labadee, and Falmouth, Jamaica. Tim

joins us on the line right now. Tim, it's been darn near three years since we chatted, buddy. How you

doing? Doing fine now that we get the cruise again. Yeah, so great to hear your voice, man. You're up there in

Fargo, North Dakota. By the way, is North Dakota, does it get hot in the summertime? Because I know it gets, I have had some buddies in flight school up there at UND, and they were always complaining about the winter weather on social media. Does it get like in the 90s, though, in the summertime? Who would we be if we weren't complaining about the cold? Yeah, I mean, it does get cold,

but yes, it does get pretty warm. In fact, when we left here to go on this cruise, it was like

100 degrees back here at home. So that was no fun being able to brag about being down in the Bahamas

in the sunny weather when it's just as warm up here for everybody else. But do you have the humidity up there as well?

Yes, in fact, today.

Right away this morning, I went outside to go to work, and it was 70% humidity.

I mean, you barely walk to your car without starting to sweat, you know, so.

Yeah, welcome to Florida every day of the year.

We're going to talk about Explorer of the Seas. Before we get to the ship

itself, we'll take a step back, though. What made you want to take this six-nighter on Explorer

out of Port Miami? Well, this particular cruise was scheduled to be in Cocoa on July 4th,

and I had seen that they had done fireworks last year, and so I thought this looks like it would be awesome to be in Cocoa K with fireworks.

Well, they only did that last year because it was the restart.
