0:00.0 | You are listening to this is Cruise Radio Rewind. Real reviews from real cruisers. |
0:08.5 | Welcome to this week's episode of Cruise Radio Rewind, a review of MSC. Seaside on a seven-night |
0:14.8 | Eastern Caribbean itinerary. A little different here because they did bring their two kids with them, |
0:19.2 | so they all stayed in the yacht club together. |
0:21.3 | And AJ and his wife are both legally blind, so a different perspective here. We haven't talked to AJ in a little while, so I'm happy to have him back on the show this morning. Welcome, buddy. How are you doing today, Doc? Good, man. Thanks for calling in. It's been a little while since we've heard from you.

1:20.6 | It is basically a ship within a ship, and they roll, basically roll out the red carpet |
1:25.6 | VIP treatment from the curve in Port Miami to getting off the ship in Port Miami the next Saturday after the cruise. |
1:35.5 | So they pretty much make you feel like a rock star for seven nights? |
