\"\"<\/a>Princess Cruise Lines can pitch its Sapphire, and does, by pointing out its routes to Alaska, Canada\/New England, the South Pacific and Mexico, its deluxe stateroom amenities, and its size as the largest of the Princess<\/a> fleet. For us, pitching Darryl Worley<\/a> is enough.
\nIf you\u2019re asking \u201cDarryl who?\u201d then you need a little country music education. If not, you\u2019re in \u201cour\u201d majority, and all you need to know is that Big Darryl (he\u2019s 6\u20196\u201d) is appearing nightly on the Princess Sapphire on its May 30-June 6 sailing up the Inside Passage to Skagway. \"\"<\/a>
\nTucson radio station KiiM is offering its listeners a chance to accompany Worley on an Inside Passage \u201cCountry Cruise\u201d, with prices that run between $1,078 (inside stateroom) to $1,692 (balcony) to $1,977 (mini-suite). That may seem a little steep until you factor in that it includes a night\u2019s hotel in Seattle, transfers, port charges, government fees and taxes. And you do get Darryl Worley, singing, up to eight times.
\nThanks to the Internet, you can qualify as a KiiM listener from anywhere; you don\u2019t have to live in Tucson. You do have to book through a Tucson travel agency \u2014 Bon Voyage Travel<\/a>.
\nAnd if you\u2019re asking Darryl Who, here\u2019s what you should know: six albums that sold two million copies, 17 chart hits and signature hits like \u201cHave You Forgotten\u201d \u2013 a moving reminder about 9\/11 \u2013 and \u201cI Miss My Friend\u201d, his first chart-topper. A nugget in his repertoire is \u201cSecond Wind\u201d which we listened to him sing in the rain near Victorville, CA, one spring night.
\nSold yet? Born into a military family, Worley\u2019s a regular entertaining troops engaged on the other side of the world not, he says, for accolades or publicity but because \u201cI want to do it.\u201d And that\u2019s what people like us think when they hear that he\u2019s singing his way up the Inside Passage on the Sapphire Princess<\/a>. We want to do it.
\nWe\u2019ve long wondered why cruise lines don\u2019t make sure potential passengers know about celebrity cruises like this \u2014 it is, after all, a way to attract people to their ships. Unless you live in Tucson and listen to KiiM, you might never know about this one. Well, until we came along, that is.
\nThat’s it, we’re done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
