Travel Channel-Sam's 1st Cruise

[Boxer_Mom]

This may have been a rerun but it was the first time I saw it. It played last night , that travel show with Samantha Brown. She took a 12 night Med out of Barcelona w/ RCI.

DH recorded on the DVR and had me watch it. Now OF COURSE all I want to do now is look at the dang website and contemplate an April MOS cruise...

Oh what to do, what to do.... :p

 

 

NEVER MIND, I just found a thread about this,, even after I searched... sorry! LOL

I watched it also, didn't see much of the ship but I do know that by now Capt Michael Lachatrides has retired (as of 12-12-05). It was interesting to see what shore excursions she took.

We watched it again last night, at least the last half! We had watched it when it originally aired, several months ago. She does get more into the ports than the ship, but it was a very enjoyable show.

We were on the same cruise about 3 months after her. Its great to watch that show, since it is kind of a "cruise in review" video for us. Although the show focuses mostly on the ports, it is a pretty realistic portrayal of what that cruise was for us. Very port intensive, with tours normally starting at 8 am and ending at 6 pm. A lot of walking was involved, so we were worn out when we would get back to the ship. Didn't see one show the whole time, just dinner, drinks and bedtime. Awesome time though...

It made me desperately want to go on a Mediterranean cruise!

I watched it too. :rolleyes: I am a sucker for any cruise show. Made me want to go on a cruise RIGHT NOW. At least I only have to wait a few more days. :D

Heads up for you cruise show lovers...Sun nite (1-1-06) on the travel channel at 10 pm is the episode "Great Cuises". that's the one that shows Capt Thore guiding Radiance OTS thru Alaska. It was done in 2002 and shows Capt George when he was a staff captain on Radiance.

Thanks for the info. Since we will be on the Radiance in August we will definately be watching.

Happy New Year!!

My daughter told me about the show and I was so sorry I missed it. I've seen the Sunday night episode but would love to see it again. We had Capt George when we sailed Vision of the Seas to the Mexican Riviera in Feb 2004.

I saw the Brillance cruise show the other night and all I could think was... "how can I find a sitter willing to watch the kids for 2 weeks?... Alas, I will have to wait a few more years till the kids are bit older so I can be gone 12+ nights. :)
