Summary: It’s wave season, the time of year when cruise lines offer deals and promotions, and travelers look ahead to planning future cruise vacations. In this episode of “Get Outta Here,” hosted by AP Travel editor Beth Harpaz, we take our podcast out of the studio and onto a cruise ship in Port Miami. We’ll offer a look at trends and issues in cruising along with some great insider tips and advice. The show features a panel discussion with CruiseCritic.com editor at large Carolyn Spencer Brown; Miami Herald business editor Jane Wooldridge and Carnival Corp. CEO Arnold Donald, who joined the show in his capacity as chairman of the Cruise Lines International Association. This is the first part of a two-part show taped with a live audience aboard the Seabourn Sojourn, which is owned by Carnival, a sponsor of this podcast.
