0:16.9	Christy just returned from a seven-night cruise down to the Bahamas and Grand Turk from the North Atlantic area. It was supposed to be out of Baltimore, but it went out of Norfolk. She joins us on the line. How you doing, Christy? Hi, how are you? Good, good to talk to you again. Excited to hear about Carnival Pride and you're on one of those sailings that were, they couldn't go into Baltimore as at the time
0:38.0	recording, Baltimore is back open now. But before we get to all of that, we'll take a step back.
