Episode #38 - Our Blue Sky Ideas: Virgin Cruises

Welcome to Episode #38!

On this new podcast episode we share what we call "Our Blue Sky Ideas: Virgin Cruises". Virgin Cruises is the first new cruise line since 1996 and they are asking cruisers what do you want to see and do when you take a cruise. You can even go to their web site www.virgincruises.com and fill out an online form to share your thoughts. 

We did it even better, we made a podcast! So Sir Richard Branson, we hope you are listening!

Do you have any ideas for Virgin Cruises new ships?  Share your thoughts with us! Call our voice mail line or email us and we will share them on the next show. 

As usual, we have the latest cruise news, cruise chit chat, our themed cruise of week and Scott's uncomfortable comments about lace. It's all here in our action packed show!
