Hey, how's it going to? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Hey, how's it going? My name is Doug Parker.

Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here,

my friend. After this past Thursday show of Oceana Riviera, got quite a few emails and comments

saying that they enjoyed more of a diverse review, I guess we'll say, because we, you know, typically stick to the big major lines here.

But my invite to you is if you've sailed any cruise line, it doesn't matter if it's Viking, Virgin, Seaborne, Cunard, we don't really hear a lot of either.

closer to home. Our kids were, families always been into Disney,

so we did, we did a lot of that stuff. But this was our 20th cruise and our 13th on Princess.

So it had been a good five years since we had, our last one was on Alaska, but we, you know,

just were, honestly, we were just shuffling through the Princess website. There was a third and fourth

passenger free sale going on, kind of the last vestige of those big sales that Princess was

doing post-pandemic. And we've sailed literally, I think, everything in North America that
