1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this news about cruise ships. They are

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,479
Speaker 1: seeing a record year. Oh good for outbreaks.

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh not good.

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five has seen twenty gastro intestinal illness outbreaks

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: on cruise ships.

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: It's a new record. Seems like we go through this

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: with cruise ships every few years. There's a news cycle

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: and we get all of these horror stories and videos

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: of the video problems with cruise ships, and they usually

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: end up having to do with some awful stomach bug

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: and broken cruise ship plumbing. Do the math on how

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: those two things don't work very well?

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Begain not a good time. So Triple A is projecting

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: that twenty point seven million Americans will cruise this year,

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: and that's a rise from twenty one point seven million

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: and uh or actually they're expecting there to rise to

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty one point seven million next year, but it is

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: an eight point four increase from last year. So regardless

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: of all of these stories about these outbreaks and people

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: being affected on these cruise ships and then plumbing breaking

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: on the cruise ships, people are still excited to get

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: on those boats.

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: I've only been on one cruise in my entire life,

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: and I still don't know if I like cruises or not,

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: I had a great time because you and I went

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: with some family and we had it was the people

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: we went with that made that vacation. I'm sure I

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: would have been just as happy and you know usar

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: Water Beach, Florida, as I would have been on the

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: cruise shop.

31
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: You liked it because you were there with me, that

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: is Yeah, that's true.

33
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: I was there with you. We were there with some

34
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: family and also an important point, we had the unlimited

35
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: drink package. Yeah, it may have been a contributing factor.

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: That doesn't hurt
