Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here, my friend. Coming up on this week's show, a review of Resilient Lady, one of Virgin Voyages ships. And as always, staff writer Richard Sims on deck with cruise news. Jump into him now. Hey, Richard. Hey, Doug. So we start with a story of one ships running with some rough weather.

0:40.4

To say the least, this was Carnival Panorama, and it was sailing in the Gulf of California,

0:45.6

and which, can I just tell you until this story, I didn't even know where that was.

0:48.6

I had to look it up.

0:50.2

The incident occurred around 815 on August 20th, and passengers were like, you know, having dinner and seeing shows, and then they hit this weather, and the ship actually listed.

1:04.5

I'm not sure if there's a certain number that you have to hit in order to be counting as listed as opposed to, you know, just,

1:12.2

just sort of your normal rocky weather, but it did, in fact, list. In a statement to cruise

2:06.7

assumed that was a given but uh you're right uh that that was the important detail in that quote

2:13.3

i'm just glad a cruise line is saying the ship did list is all I'm trying to say because you don't really hear that a lot.

2:18.6

It's always, oh yeah, we just kind of rock and rolled a little bit.

2:21.9
