What is your fondest 半岛体育 cruise memory?
Fontana: I think my fondest memory was when I was standing on the deck of the ship drinking an Aperol spritz, surrounded by friends, as we sailed past castle after castle on the Rhine river and I thought, 鈥淗ow the hell did luck into this?鈥�
What destination on this cruise are you most excited about and why?
All of them? I鈥檝e never been to southern Italy so I鈥檓 pretty excited for Sorrento. And looking forward to getting in touch with my Spanish roots with all those stops in Spain.
How do you spend your free time while on a 半岛体育 cruise?
I don鈥檛 remember a lot of free time on the last trip, because there鈥檚 so many amazing things to do鈥 really packed my days. This time, I鈥檓 hoping for some more relaxation鈥ut I鈥檓 mostly excited to be with people I love and respect in the Mediterranean鈥 love a Broadway field trip.
What can travelers expect from your show?
Something unexpected. Because I have no idea what I鈥檓 going to do yet. I have a bunch of ideas but I鈥檓 marinating still...
What kind of traveler are you? Do you overpack or under-pack?
I鈥檓 definitely an under-packer. I always assume no one鈥檚 looking at me so if I wear the same stuff too often, who cares? I also hate checking bags, and almost never do.
