390 Empress of the Seas Review + Cruise News | Royal Caribbean

On this show we get a review of Royal Caribbean's Empress of the Seas, a ship they recently put back in service after spending years with their European brand. Could this ship be coming back to do Cuba cruises? 

Sherry Kennedy has cruise news:

• Lifeboat accident leads to crewmember death.
• Carnival announced new itineraries for 2018 - but nothing too new. 
• Celebrity Cruises is taking a ship out of the Med in 2017 - where is it going?
• Any updates on Istanbul or ports of call in Turkey after the coup last weekend?

Listener Question:

Can we renew our passport one year early. And if so, would that give me 11 years until next renewal or will it still be 10 years from when I renew?
