Posted by Michael on 08/18/08 We may have missed a week, but we’re back now. Taking the week off allowed us to collect a whole show’s worth of cruise line news too.
Carnival Sensation will be getting her Evolutions of Fun upgrades in January, while Carnival Fantasy will be staying in Mobile until she heads to the shipyards for her own Evolutions of Fun upgrades.
MSC will be sending their two newest ships to the Caribbean for the 2009/10 season and orders two new Musica class ships from Aker Yards.
Carnival will be recategorizing their staterooms and we get some insight into how Joe Farcus designs ships for Carnival and Costa.
Cabo San Lucas is getting some infrastructure updates and is considering an actual cruise ship pier.
Princess has selected the Godparents for Ruby Princess and we get a look at some of what’s planned for Seabourn Odyssey.
Be sure to check in next week when I’ll be talking about a different sort of cruise that I’m taking this week.

Posted by Michael on 08/11/08 Unfortunately there won’t be a podast this week. We went camping on Saturday which is when we normally record the show. As a result we had planned on recording the show on Sunday instead. However things have cropped up this week that would have prevented us from getting a show up until Thursday.
We’re going to work on getting a show up for next week, however I’ve been invited to take part in a very special cruise on board the USCGC Eagle, unfortunately I don’t know exactly when I’ll be leaving to join the ship - don’t ask, it gives me a headache just thinking about it 
. We’re just going to have to play the next week or so by ear…
