What they're saying:

I've been trying to convince my husband to try a cruise for years. 

After watching your show and we contacted you for advice, we booked a cruise in the Mediterranean - thank you for your suggestions! 

He loved it! And we have now booked two more cruises and he tells everyone how great cruising is!  Lynn, thank you for your show!

Can we come with you? 

Seriously!

It makes me want to book a Viking river cruise next December!

The gingerbread house scene was hilarious - it looked delicious!

Thank you, Lynn, you are a wonderful guide!

A. R., Charleston, South Carolina

Before your show, I didn't realize all the places you could take a cruise, like Antarctica! 

It looked like being in another world - and the penguins! But where real people like us can go. 

Lynn, it felt like we were there with the penguins and icebergs with you! Now we are saving up for an Antarctica cruise on Scenic with helicopters and submarines!
