0:08.3 | Weekend edition of Cruise Radio Rewind. Thanks for being here. A lot happening around the ranch today, |
0:13.8 | going down to Miami to board MSC Merivia later on this afternoon. For a four-night cruise, |
0:20.1 | it was supposed to be to the ocean key reserve |
0:23.6 | their private island in nassau bahamas but that itinerary got flipped upside down because they |

1:43.7 | I lied, because if I can find a Coke or a Coke product |
1:48.3 | or a Pepsi product from Mexico where they use real sugar, I will drink either of those |
