0:15.7	Hey, how's it going? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio.
0:20.3	Very happy to have you here, my friend. A review of Disney Wish this week. Also, staff writer Richard Sims is here with Cruise News, jumping right to him now. Hey, Richard.
0:29.8	Hey, Doug. We're kicking things off with an update on your favorite story about that world cruise ship.
0:35.8	Yeah, so they have some good news to report, but I mean,

1:24.2	We spoke to one of the residents who is patiently awaiting the chance to move into their new
1:29.4	home, and they said that the ship is hoping to board, well, actually, as we record this,
1:35.6	they're supposedly hoping to set sail and board today or certainly this week. But I don't know,
1:43.0	that seems a little unlikely to happen as there's still testing and certification that has to be done.
