Good morning all
The link below is from The Echevarria Travel Show with co-host Maurice Shackelford, which Maurice has agreed to be my permanent co-host. Yeah.  I can't stand talking to myself after the guests are gone, so he will be there with me.
Thank you again Maurice.
The show is available through the month of September until the 1st Week in October,  you can listen or watch it.
Had our guest, Cathy Vazquez - Access Department Manager, Norwegian Cruise Lines, as you remember she was one of our guests from our monthly teleconferences last year.
We did have someone call in  after Cathy was off the phone, that asked me a question to ask her, and I was very concerned with this question.
Someone from the NFB, who is from Chicago area, and with the Crafters Division, recently went on a Carnival Cruise ship, and they brought there bingo cards to use to play bingo, if you are not aware, you can play bingo on the ship and win prizes like money and on the last day of the cruise, you can win a free cruise.  They were willing with cash in hand to play, but Carnival told them that they couldn't use there own bingo cards that are in braille because the computer checks the tickets.
I checked with all the other cruise lines including speaking to Cathy yesterday morning, and they said that clients of course would be able to use there own bingo cards to play, in her own words, that is stupid, and offensive.
So here is the link.
