0:16.6	If you're a new listener, Cruise Radio Rewind is a carryover from our Cruise Radio podcast done every Thursday.
0:23.6	Here we tackle the listener questions we couldn't get to on Thursday show and cover breaking news.
0:29.1	On this week's show, Sherry Laskin from cruis maven.com answers a Norwegian cruise line question.
0:35.5	My travel agent, Becky Smith, is here to talk about some
0:38.3	carnival cruise line scenarios and questions pertaining to people that are being rebooked

1:42.7	Well, on that, we'll get to the listener question.
2:03.7	I have a Sherry Laskin question. I paid my deposit on the NCL website for a November 2020 cruise. Should the price drop? One, will they alert me? Two, will the $500 deposit suffice to receive the privileged information about price drop. And three, under what circumstances will I enjoy the new price and how proactive need I be?
