0:00.0 | You are listening to this is Cruise Radio Rewind. Real reviews from real cruisers. |
0:08.3 | A couple of weeks ago, I had an email from Sharon saying she was sailing the Queen Mary 2 and asking if I would like to talk about it when she returns. |
0:16.7 | And I said, of course, so we connected on Tuesday night. |
0:27.5 | We weren't going to actually record the interview because sometimes I just want to talk about a sailing that's interesting to me. |
0:33.2 | Or if we already have an interview recorded, I like to ask questions for future articles on the website. |
0:36.5 | So to set this interview up a little bit, I was talking with Sharon. |
0:43.6 | And then a few minutes into our conversation, she was firing on all cylinders comparing celebrity and Kuhnard and the differences. |
0:49.0 | So she got to tell him about how she met her husband, and he plays into it because he's never cruised before. |
0:52.6 | So I finally just asked, hey, Sharon, do you mind if I hit the record button? |

1:35.3 | he was putting his name under my name in the book to see the physical therapist. |
1:39.6 | So that's how we met. |
1:41.5 | He found out love, and he loves to travel. |
1:44.2 | However, he never loved cruising, and I've been cruising for probably 10 years. |
1:49.7 | I go on cruises by myself. |
1:52.5 | I've been to Cuba by myself. |
1:54.5 | I went to Celebrity is my line, so I tend to take a lot of cruises on celebrity. And I've gone by myself. I've gone |
2:03.4 | with a couple friends, but never with my husband. So I'm trying to finally get him into the idea, |
2:09.5 | let's do something. The kids are older. Let's go away together. And he says, no, I don't want |
