Well, you know, I love my protein options. They had some good chimichurri beef sliders, some chicken adobo. The coolest part was an outdoor roof deck.

Megan, I am so excited for this episode. I've been waiting for this. I recently went on two cruises back to back. I was working through the cruises, so I sat with my laptop, ocean views, and then after I was done with work, I got to go to the pool deck, the piano bar. Absolutely fantastic. And a lot of water slides, I think. I saw a ton of photos from those.

Multiple water slides, including a roller coaster water slide called the Aqua Slide Coaster. We will get to that. Whoa.

One of these days, I'm really hoping to start the news section off with something other than bad news about Southwest, Megan. That day is not today, unfortunately. Southwest fares used to have fun names like Wanna Get Away, but now all the fare classes have boring names. Choice, Choice Preferred, and Choice Extra. And don't forget, the basic fare they introduced previously is still there.

The cheaper the fare you buy, the fewer seats you have to choose from when the assigned seating goes into effect.
