Did you see that pivotal moment at the 1996 Olympics when the U.S. women’s gymnastics team pulled it together for the gold, or when Michael Phelps picked up medal after medal after medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics?  The Summer Olympics are only months away and even if you aren’t going to London you can still catch the games while on vacation because Celebrity Cruises has the exclusive rights to broadcast the Olympics live on its fleet.

It was no joke that on April 1, Rosalind Smith, The Cruise Web’s Business Development Manager, prepared 80 servings of macaroni and cheese. All that cheesy goodness was served at an event held by Martha’s Table, which is an organization that seeks to improve the life of Washington, DC’s at-risk population by providing food, clothing and educational and enriching opportunities.

On March 30, 2012, Dennard Melton, Sales Recruiter for The Cruise Web, was wed to Christina Nochera in an intimate wedding in Baltimore, MD. The wedding was followed by a reception in the Capital Grille’s elegant Johns Hopkins dining room.

The newlyweds left the next day to celebrate their honeymoon with, you guessed it, a cruise! And what could be better to follow an intimate wedding than a cruise with nearly 2,500 of their “closest” friends? The couple’s honeymoon cruise departed from Baltimore and sailed to Port Canaveral before making its way to Nassau and CocoCay in the Bahamas. Highlights from their cruise include the surprise “Romance Package” provided by their friends at The Cruise Web and the romantic horse and buggy ride in Nassau.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! We wish you all the best.

On March 20, 2012, The Cruise Web hosted a “Potluck-O-Gold” luncheon to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! The celebration may have come a few days late, but you wouldn’t have known based on the office atmosphere. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, employees prepared and contributed their best green and gold dishes. Throughout the luncheon, our judging panel sampled each dish in order to determine the best green dish and best gold dish at the event. After much deliberation, the panel named the winners…

The winner of the “Best Green Dish” award was Mike Harris for his green buffalo chicken dip. The “Best Gold Dish” award went to Janie Monier for her chipotle jalapeño spoon bread. Both dishes were huge hits and earned their chefs Visa gift cards. Congratulations to Mike and Janie!

While Mike and Janie may have been the only ones to take home awards, all of the dishes were excellent and, in reality, everyone wins when The Cruise Web holds a potluck. [Read more →]

On Tuesday, April 17, The Cruise Web’s employees witnessed history being made as the space shuttle Discovery was ferried overhead by a Boeing 747 on its way to Washington, DC. 

Discovery, the world’s most traveled spaceship and one of NASA’s three surviving space shuttles, was on route for Washington Dulles International Airport on the way to its eventual home in the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. Several of The Cruise Web’s employees were fortunate enough to step away from their desks and catch a glimpse of the thrilling site, captured below.
