You Know Cruising is Hip When...

Hello, everyone. I'm back from a week of skiing in Ruidoso, New Mexico. It was very warm and the only snow was man-made. The good part: we had the town practically to ourselves. When I was gone, I received an e-mail ad promoting a music cruise. These are not too unusual. This ad got my attention because of who was promoting it: Dave Matthews.

See: http://cruise.davematthewsband.com/

Dave is a major figure in the pop-rock world and has a huge following (this accounts for the two large ships they're using). What piqued my interest is I've never seen a cruise being promoted by such a major celebrity. Cruising truly has become hip among thirty-somethings and younger. This is proof. All the better for cruise-ship speakers or those aspiring to be because the industry will continue to grow leaving even more opportunities for free cruising.

Also, don't forget you can sign up for my "Cruise for Free" workshop sponsored by the University of Texas at Austin on January 28. Register here: https://informalclasses.org/index2.html

Go to "View Courses" and then I am the first class listed under the "travel & culture" category.
