Take 2 – because 26 minutes into recording this episode it was discovered that some nameless person had forgotten to turn their microphone… hint it wasn’t the person who actually posts the shows!
With the exception of one story, all of the news this week was really dominated by Royal Caribbean International.
We talked quite a bit about the tandem crossing of Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Victoria, there are some interesting stories coming out of that crossing.
Celebrity brings out the most unique offering we’ve heard… well at least since they announced that there would be a glass blowing show onboard Celebrity Solstice. This time they’ve announce that Celebrity Solstice will also feature a 1/2 acre green space – with real grass!
USAToday and Royal Caribbean are asking for your help to name their upcoming Genesis class ships.
The earthshaking news of the week – 29 year Carnival Veteran Vicki Freed has jumped ship so to speak. She’s stepping down from her position as Senior Vice President of Sales for Carnival – and assuming the same role at Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines starting on Tuesday.
This week we talk about river cruises. Theres a lot of information out there, but we try to keep the entire discussion a bit generic.
Finally, the Deal of the Week is BACK! The cruise lines are kicking off their Wave Season with some great deals – and Holland America Line has some fantastic Alaska Cruise Tour deals this week. Check out the details here.

Gensis Class Names
I really think RCCL has taken the whole economies of scale thing too far. I’ve been on Explorer of the Seas and while she is a very nice ship, the inward-looking design left me feeling like I spent a week at the mall.
So my votes: Monstrosity of the Seas and Abomination of the Seas.
Somehow I don’t think I’ll win.

I think these ships need names that project their awesome size, but I don’t think my names will make the cut.

i think that the RCCL ships should REALLY be named; Flatulence of the Seas and Geriatrics of the Seas. my real entries to USA Today were ; Extravagance of the Seas and Indulgence of the Seas. i hope i win! lol
