- Big surprise!May 23, 2026 by FarrenGod from United States
Hi Sheri, this is Farren from Miami! I took my in-laws on a quick 3 night cruise on the NCL Getaway. I was lying in bed watching the cabin TV and all of sudden I see Sheri from my favorite podcast on the web. I yelled to my wife there is Sheri…. She said who the heck is Sheri! :) It seems like NCL uses your face on various marketing on the ship….. To say the least I was very happy to see you…. As always you and your family are just a delight…… Keep up the amazing work….. Miami loves CruiseTipsTV Farren from Miami!
