... question comment of the week.
We've had this one multiple times.
This is why I brought it up.
Mm.
So the question of the week was from Shannon saying, "Just curious about what you said about the Star Princess.

When the Sun Princess first came to North America, within the first month or so that it was in North America, we got on a cruise with it.
Yep.
We had a wonderful time, but the ship was not to our preference.
A, we found that the venues were very, very small, and it was almost impossible to get adequate seating for venues.

And so we just, um, it wasn't our preference because we felt like there were too many people on too small of a ship.
So there you go.
