Featured, but mostly as a backdrop.

It was a show about Samantha all the way. Lot's of buzz over at CC about it, mostly on the Carnival and RCCL boards.

I thought it was, but I love all the cruise shows on the Travel Channel. I'm addicted. LOL

I think it is great to show a non-seasoned traveler that you can easily do a cruise in a weekend.

i agree, pete.

i was anxious to see the refurbs, and the show was all about her mini vacation. the ship seemed almost incidental. they rarely showed it, and when they did, it was just as you said...a backdrop.

she was on elation awhile back, and for that show, she went through the whole ship showing all of the various main areas.

the one thing i really wanted to see was the newly refurbished cat12s. she was in one, and never showed the cabin!

Too bad it was all about Samantha. This must be part of her new series on weekend getaways.

I usually like her shows but I thought this one was lame. Hardly showed the ship..spent too much time in the galley and the midnight buffet and with the ice carver

If I had not been on a cruise before after seeing this I would not want to go :shock:

I feel that she even dissed Cozumel and the people.

That's not good. :shock:

Maybe she's getting a little too big for her britches.

I got the impressioon that she did not want to be there and stressed that "She wanted to find a quiet place and be alone". Watching her flirt with the staff and getting a spa treatment for 10 min. I wanted to

I just caught bits and pieces of this. I was not overly impressed.
