We invested $150 million in the Norwegian Spirit so that ship is better than new. We love our capacity. We are the smallest of the big three. So we’re always wanting more, although I think you’ve heard me say that during this pandemic, I’m glad I am the smallest because there’s less mouths to feed, so to speak. But look, we not only have the youngest fleet, but we also have nine incredible vessels on order, which allows us to have the fastest-growing fleet. And so no, we absolutely have no plans to divest of any of our vessels.”
