Some sad news to share about a cruise critic member

I’m very sad to report that a dear friend and cruise critic member, Rev Smith recently passed away. I met Rev on the Roll Call boards a number of years ago, and we ended up becoming close friends, enjoying cruises together as well as trips to Disney for the Food and Wine Festival. Although Rev hadn’t cruised in a couple years,she was a Loyal to Royal, as well as a Pinnacle member. I’m grateful for having the chance to meet and know my dear friend Rev through these message boards.

Condolences

We had the pleasure of meeting her too and was hoping to cruise with her again! I enjoyed seeing her variety of hats!! She probably had more hats than some women have shoes!!;) Loved her sense of humor! She will be missed for sure!:loudcry: Rest in peace Rev! We will definitely see you again on that big cruise ship in the sky!!:halo:

The name is so familiar - was Rev Smith a lady on a scooter - rather flamboyant with lots of hats and great fun, possibly with an Australian connection? I was trying to put a face to the name - pretty sure we cruised together a few times.

Always sad to lose someone.

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Rev. She was a unique and wonderful lady who could never be replaced. RIP and hopefully we will all meet on the big girl in the heavens

White haired (pigtails) lady, wearing her cowgirl hat, riding a red scooter throughout the Promenade is how we remember her. DH (Tom) escorted her to the stage and back the night she received recognition for most cruise points that week!

My thoughts & prayers are with her family.

We are burying my Mom ***** Tuesday so I feel their pain :halo:

Very sad news.

Yup, that’s Rev [emoji4]. We owe our friendship and many good times to cruise critic.

I am so very sorry to hear this. A group of us sailed with her and her sister Linda in 2006 on the Caribbean Princess. We kept in touch through Cruise Critic for a number of years. I got to go out to lunch with her in 2007 when I was in her “neighborhood”. She will be missed.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rev back on my April 2009 Navigator cruise. She had been very active in our roll.

In chatting with her, it was clear that the one thing she loved more than talking about cruising, planning a cruise, or being on a cruise, was her family.

May she Rest In Peace. My condolences to her family.

Very sorry to hear this. I am part of Linda's group that sailed with Rev in 2006. My husband and I met her for lunch once when she was in Washington, DC. Deepest sympathy to her family.

Does anyone know the details who would be willing to share here?

She became ill a little over a month ago and never recovered. We had a wonderful time together last October in Disney, and I treasure that time we had.

My family and I had the pleasure of sailing with Rev about 8 years ago. I believe it was on the Freedom. Such a nice lady. I remember she was part of the cabin crawl and she had one of the huge suites with a piano and a hot tub on the balcony. She made us all feel so welcome. Her husband was with her, he was on a scooter I believe. May she Rest In Peace.

This is so sad to hear, we cruised with Rev on the Freedom. We were waiting in line to check in and she arrived on her scooter. Of course the staff all knew her due to her many cruises. They treated her like Royalty, she just drove right on past the lines. Loyalty has it perks!

Yes ❤️. I wanted to deliver roses to her on one of the RCI ships, knew the sailing date but not the cabin information. When I called RCI all I had to say was Rev and they knew exactly who I was talking about.

I’m posting one of REV many pictures, that I have, over the years that we cruised together!

We met REV on the Brilliance in dec 2007, and we became friends!

We cruise together, many, many times! She’ll be missed by many!

I talked with her sister-in-law Pat, and as a request from REV,

won’t be any service!
