The Mail Buoy Episode 91

Posted by Michael on 01/13/08

Hey look a new show! :D

It had always been our intention to record a show last week.  Unfortunately we were hit by an illness just hours before our normal recording time, and things didn’t get back to normal until almost mid-week.

To make up for missing last week - we offer you two shows this week.  As the new year started the was quite a bit of news in the cruise industry and we thought there was too much to just do one show.  Even so there were several stories that we posted on the site that didn’t make it in to the show.

Some of the stories we talked about this week -

New check in policies coming - Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Azamara and NCL  have announced their changes, other lines to announce changes over the next month.   Bottom line- by February 19 all cruise lines will require you to be checked in for your cruise at least 60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.

Carnival has announced new minimum ages and has revised their policy regarding pregnant passengers.

Crystal is tighten their smoking rules, and Disney is introducing a new show on Disney Wonder.

Royal Caribbean has a new show coming to  Explorer of The Seas, and they will have trans-fats removed from their ships over the course of the next few weeks.  They’ve also renewed their operating agreement with the Port of Galveston.

Also SeaSocks folks should start watching their mailboxes for their invoices - they should be arriving later this week.

No Deal of The Week this week, but we expect that it will be back for next week.
