Summary

Kabir recently took an eight-night Caribbean cruise aboard Virgin Voyages' ship Valiant Lady out of PortMiami. He goes over what sets this cruise line apart from others, how the food and entertainment were on board, and what he did in each port of call.

Richard has cruise news on:

  • Carnival's oldest ship is back in service after a two-week dry dock
  • Royal is making something free that once had a cost attached
  • That pesky rock slide in Alaska may soon go away
  • One island is considering limiting the number of cruise ships
  • Heads up, if you're getting a passport soon

Listener Question: Selina asks, I’m going on a cruise in December. My passport expires three days after we’re supposed to board. Will that be a problem?
