The festival is totally different this year. We have more rides, more food, more entertainment and more and bigger competitions.

To me, bad taste is what entertainment is all about

[Passengers] are on board, they're enjoying all the facilities, all the food, the entertainment, and so on. So, while we very much regret they're missing the ports, we feel the 50 percent compensates for that.

Who is secure in all his basic needs? Who has work, spiritual care, medical care, housing, food, occasional entertainment, free clothing, free burial, free everything? The answer might be nuns and monks, but the standard reply is 'prisoners'

In a cruel and evil world, being cynical can allow you to get some entertainment out of it

I think it is important that our rides are really spectacular. These are big European rides. We've worked really hard at getting thrill rides.
