Lisah101 Posted September 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Anyone else following Rick Steve's blog? He's filming a segment to come out next year on cruising and is currently on the Reflection. He has some nice things to say about the ship!

richsea Posted September 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks for the link to the video. I love Rick Steves because he offers great tips on where to go and what to see, along with tips on how to save a few bucks. A few years ago he sailed Constellation to the Med. which resulted in a guidebook on cruiing there with lots of tips on what to see when you have limited time in port.

Rare abbydancer2003 Posted September 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm a big fan, and was pleased that when I met him on the Reflection on the eastern Med cruise he was very nice in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually think he's on Reflection at the moment, despite his blog alluding to the fact. His posts don't match the current itinerary, although it does for the previous cruise, which is when he was spotted on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor moon Posted September 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Having taken many of his land tours, I'm thrilled he writes to the cruise industry. He has done a good job with the limited time we have in ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarylady19 Posted September 23, 2017 #14 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm another huge Rick Steves fan, swear by his guide books and have heard him speak in Chicago several times. I Particularly enjoyed the drunken ramblings late night on the upper deck[emoji3] which he videoed. However, after years of looking down on cruisers (not real travelers, etc.) I think Rick is now seeing the benefits of cruise travel and is backpedaling somewhat. Rick is a very shrewd businessman and I'm sure he sees the huge potential in embracing the cruise crowd (he even mentions CC on his blog). Personally I switch back and forth between land and cruise trips In Europe and see the benefits of both. No need to pick one over the other, just different ways to travel and see the world.

Sent from my iPad using Forums We met Rick in the Lawn Club Grill, and then moved on with him to the dance party at the pool. We are a group who met on CC, and met up in Rome pre cruise. Rick was fascinated with the relationship made online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarylady19 Posted September 23, 2017 #18 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks - nice to be back. We have been doing more "land trips" and also been on RCCL but are looking forward to our return to X in Feb. Haven't been on Silhouette yet so should be great.
