Cruising for Love: A Semester at Sea Love Story

When Jamie boarded the cruise ship for her Semester at Sea, romance was the last thing on her mind. Semester at Sea was meant to be an adventure to prime her for her future career in media. She'd never given much thought to dating or relationships, let alone marriage or children. She was laser focused on making an impact on the big stage one day. But it was the smaller stage aboard the ship that changed the course of her life. It started as so many love stories do: "It was a guy with a guitar..." In this episode, Jamie shares the story of falling in love while crossing oceans, navigating new countries, surviving both SARS and storms at sea, and building a relationship in the most unconventional of settings. She also reflects on what 25 years of marriage have taught her about partnership, growth, and supporting each other through every phase of life.
