00:00Hello, cruisers. I am Dan Klein, executive editor of Come Cruise With Me. That is

00:04ComeCruiseWith.com. I am on the Norwegian Aqua. It is about lunchtime. I am really

00:11impressed that Norwegian has solved something. You've heard me talk about

00:14this before. You know this is ridiculous, but you get a drink at the cruise ship

00:17bar and they give you your your garnish, your fruit, and it's just floating in

00:22there. So you get a lime or lemon, you want to squeeze that into your gin and

00:24tonic, your vodka tonic, whatever it might be, and you have to put your hands, which

00:29probably have hand sanitizer on them, which may not be the cleanest, in your

00:33drink. It's a small pet peeve I know, but here on the Norwegian Aqua, they have

00:37solved this problem in the simplest way possible. Your garnish is on a toothpick.

00:42Now I know environmental people are not going to be thrilled. There's extra

00:45plastic on a toothpick. This is some sort of like wood. I'm not really sure.

00:49Hopefully it's biodegradable, but it solves a problem. It keeps me from having to put

00:53my hands in my drink. I know it's ridiculous, but it's something every

00:57cruise line should do. I am Dan Klein. Come cruise with me soon.
