RMM34667 Posted June 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Just finished my post cruise survey. Last 2 questions were about their Detourist Program. Can anyone explain that? Google search didn't find anything. Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted June 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I know what A Tourist is. I B Tourist at times. Many times I C Tourists. But have idea why they asked you about D Tourist. This is a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCsealegs Posted June 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Just finished my post cruise survey. Last 2 questions were about their Detourist Program. Can anyone explain that? Google search didn't find anything. Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app I saw these activities listed in the Patter on my May 26 Caribbean Princess cruise. I only attended the first session, so I’m by no means an expert. I would say it’s a series of workshops designed to get you out of your comfort zone and perhaps see the world in a different way. These are the workshops that were offered: The Curiosity Advantage: Bootcamp to Boost the Curious Mind; Conversation Craft: Workshop for Artful Dialogue; Dare to Dare: Scavenger Hunt for Experience Junkies; Curious Photography: Explore the World through a New Lens; a collective art installation; and a story telling workshop. Unfortunately many of these conflicted with other activities I was doing, but I’m hoping this will be offered on my upcoming Hawaii cruise so I participate.

flutprop Posted June 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I received an email a few weeks ago for our July sailing that I think dealt with this. They were offering excursions where you helped out the community. Like cleaning a beach of trash, helping to build a school, cut back plants along a trail. I have deleted it so don't remember the specifics, and nothing like this shows as options on my personalizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see how there is some confusion between the two. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaCruzers Posted June 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2018 There was a brochure about it in our cabin on our May 26th cruise. I scanned over it, had no interest, and paid no attention to any references in the Patter. From what I recall, the post KCsealegs sums it up.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yes, that is what I received. I wish my DH could participate in "moderate activity" excursions, because it sounded like an interesting change.

kendon Posted July 8, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2018 We participate in Fathom community impact activities when we can...four times in all, twice on Princess ships. Fabulous experiences!! Reference www.fathom.org for more info and future Fathom activity dates on Princess. The Detourist ad campaign is a little weak. We are just off the CB yesterday after participating in many outstanding Fathom activities. The Caribbean Princess has a Detourist "office" in Club Fusion with printed brochures but there is no one around to answer questions, so people leave. Also, using #thedetourists gets you nowhere online. Potentially a fabulous idea, but sadly off to a weak start. Can anyone share what they may have learned at a "detourist" talk onboard?

satxdiver Posted July 8, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 8, 2018 We stopped at Amber Cove on the Crown last year and the detourist was one of the excursions offered. Most likely because the Fathom used to stop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike45LC Posted July 24, 2018 #15 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Sounds to me like when my wife "detours" into Diamonds International on the way to other tourist destinations in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
