0:00.0	But tell me, what is your favorite cruise line, Andrew?
0:03.7	Oh, my favorite cruise line.
0:05.1	Well, I've really got to think about this, haven't I, now?
0:07.4	It's got to be Disney, isn't it?

1:32.7	because I work in the port itself, actually work at the container tower, but what that does
