Last month we held The Cruise Web’s annual holiday party in our new office! We couldn’t have asked for a better environment to enjoy our co-workers as friends and to celebrate a successful year. Most importantly, it gave all of us the opportunity to show our awesome new office to our loved ones! (There’s nothing wrong with a little bragging.)
With holiday music playing in the air and hot snacks on the table, holiday cheer wasn’t hard to find. It was a fantastic time for all and you could tell by the laughs and warm conversation that filled the room.

The cruise gave me a visceral experience that tops off the classroom training – specifically, the shore excursion with the stingrays was cool way beyond any expectations. In general, I especially liked the tremendous variety of things to do and how they were all very conveniently presented, including the on-ship activities and facilities, shore excursions, extensive dining, just enjoying the ship itself, the ocean and port views, shopping and people watching.
