A quick show for you this week – but a lot of talk about Nickelodeon…
NCL tells us what’s in store for the two Nickelodeon All Access Cruises next year, and Carnival talks about their newest ship Carnival Magic which was just launched.
NCL will continue to charter the Norwegian Sky from Genting HK, and Greece has made some major changes to it’s cabotage laws.
So you know those times when you have these great plans ready to put right into action – only nothing goes like you expected and instead your plans completely fall apart?
Well, that was what happened with the last few weeks… We had a grand plan to record shows and check out some new ships – and everything fell apart. But we’re back with a new show now and aren’t expecting any interruptions for a while… So there’s that…
What we talked about this week:
Cruise West introduced a “free-flowing” itinerary, while Celebrity continues embracing technology. Crystal is revising it’s 2011 West Coast plans. Royal Caribbean is testing a “new” extended stay program in Fort Lauderdale – but is it really all that new?
Shopping on Queen Elizabeth will be decidedly British, and work continues on Seabourn Quest. Princess looks after their Australian passengers on Dawn Princess, and once again we bring you a story of passengers behaving badly…
Some times we have an episode that just names itself – and this was one of them…
It was a busy week Celebrity moves some ships around and trades Baltimore sailings for South Pacific Sailings.
Carnival is adding comedy clubs and testing out a new smoking policy.
HAL will sail to Bermuda from NY for another year, and MSC firms up the order for their latest newbuild (and renames the ship too!).
Emerald Princess has some trouble off Ft Lauderdale, and Cunard commemorates their 170th anniversary.
1 is dead and another injured after a bizarre incident in Genoa, and the Cruise Vessel Safety and Security Act has been signed into law.
It was a pretty quiet week this week – so we took the opportunity to make a minor change to the website – and add some pretty big functionality. By clicking on the “Other Travel” link at the top of the page you can now book flights, hotels, and rental cars RIGHT FROM OUR SITE!!! We’re extremely excited with this and hope that you will take advantage of it in the future.
In the news this week – Crystal is now offering Windows and Mac classes in their Computer University @ Sea program.
Queen Elizabeth will have a resident theater company onboard.
All eyes in the Caribbean are on St Thomas after gang violence there takes the life of a 14 year old cruise ship passenger. Our thoughts if you’re headed to St Thomas on a cruise in the next few months – don’t cancel your cruise, but you may want to consider staying onboard the ship.
This week we also chat a bit about getting online during your cruise. There are a few options and a few things to keep in mind.
Sorry for this show getting posted late. Everything was ready to go this weekend and then we both hit the road – in different directions.
The good news is that the problems with last week’s show have been fixed. You’ll need to re-download the show in order to get the fixed file.
We’ve been getting some feedback from Norwegian Epic and we talk about the good and the bad coming from the ship. There was also a bit of news this week and this week’s show was all about the events of the last week.
