Some brief thoughts on the Norwegian Breakaway sailing through the major 'bomb cyclone' winter storm in early January. We talk to ABC Action News Meteorologist Greg Dee to give us some insight on how powerful these winter storms can become at sea.   Nick and his family just returned from the very first sailing on MSC Cruises' brand new MSC Seaside.    Sherry Kennedy has cruise news on:

• Cruise executive paychecks revealed 
• Cruise line paid $25M for 90-day FEMA charter 
• Celebrity Cruises hikes gratuities on heels of Royal Caribbean hike 
• MSC launching child finder application 

Listener Questions 

• What to expect when staying on deck one. 
• Do cruise lines gradually release staterooms or all at one time?
