Here's what some folks on past cruises had to say!
The 2009 Spirit of the West was our second, and probably, hopefully anyway, not our last. Both
crusies were what we considered trips of a lifetime. We had a super time! It's hard to put such
an enjoyable experience into words. The fact that there were so many like-minded people in our
group made the Spirit of the West cruise very special, something that no other cruise could
offer.
Thank you for another Spirit of the West Cruise (this is their sixth cruise) - what a great
group! It was nice to catch up on everyone's news and meet still more industry related folks.
Coming home with a bit of tan is not bad either.
Thank you both so much for giving us yet another (once in a lifetime) experience. A holiday that
we could not even have dreamed of. Thanks so much!
We basicaly came on the trip because Dad wanted to see the Panama Canal - he heard it on the
radio show. He said "we should go" ... Well I wasn't about to argue with that so I grabbed the
phone. It was a wonderful time. Andrew and Kathy were great.
I found the presenters to be informative and well presented.
Enjoyed the cruise and enjoyed the people. Appreciated all the events set up to enjoy -
appreciate Jim & Karen and their time to set everything up, thank you! Enjoyed the
sing-a-longs and Hugh's poems. Enjoyed Anrew's harmonica, lyrics, and humour! Thank you
both.
Great tour in Costa Rica thanks!
Speakers topics were good - very informative.
Conference speakers informative - topics OK. I am personally interested in the cattle and
ranching tours.
We thought about booking on our own but didn't, and we're glad we didn't as it was like we
thought ... we would never have had such a good time. We would have missed the network of fellow
ranchers and Spirit of the West listeners. We would have missed the presentations that were
not only educational but were a lot of fun. No one could have ever had a coffee tour like we got
in Costa Rica. It was super as was the trip to get there - what a great way to see the
country! The cattle ranch tour was good too, very interesting. Wish we'd had more time there
but guess we can't win 'em all. For our next cruise we'll definitely be with the Spirit of the
West and will definitely book with Jim and Karen again! Thanks for making this cruise an annual
event.
Presenters very good.
Conference was very much appreciated and interesting.
Speakers were good.
We tried to book on our own thinking that we would save some money. It didn't work - it was
so involved and complicated we gave up and booked through Jim and Karen ... and sooo glad we
did. What a super time!
The Panama cruise was excellent. What an incredible place! The Caribbean, too, - we've
never been there before and the sun shone every day! Sure beats January at home all to heck!
Thanks for making this cruise possible to your radio show listeners! Oh ya - we love the show,
too!

Enjoy warm days with the company of friends, ranchers, and Spirit
of the West listeners.
