0:00.0	This is Cruise Radio.
0:02.3	Now more than ever, you should consider trip insurance for any kind of trip you take, not just cruises.
0:07.7	Get a free quote at tripinsurance.com.
0:10.5	Broadcasting from the Tripinsurance.com studios in Jacksonville, Florida.
0:14.9	This is Cruise Radio.
0:17.0	Cruise Radio.
0:17.9	Hey, how's it going?
0:18.7	Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here, a special weekend edition because, well, I'll be honest with you.

1:12.3	would too. And sure enough, guess what? That's what's happened. This has actually been coming
1:17.0	for a while. Listeners may remember that way back in December, we told you about Quantum of the
1:23.0	seas and how guests on that ship were told that service was being cut back from twice a day to once a day.
1:29.5	And again, this is exactly what has happened on the other cruise lines.
