Several lucky Cruise Web employees recently experienced the brand new Allure of the Seas during the ship’s inaugural out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Upon their return, we asked them to share their impressions of the new ship with highlights from their cruises:
On December 8, 2010, The Cruise Web rang in the holiday season with its Annual Holiday Cocktail Party. The party, held at Hudson Restaurant and Lounge in Washington, DC, proved to be a huge success as co-workers shook off their work titles and spent the evening relaxing and socializing as friends.
Princess Cruises passengers will have a variety of opportunities to sail with best-selling maritime author and popular public speaker John Maxtone-Graham as he makes appearances on a number of sailings to South America and Europe in 2011.
I recently had the pleasure of spending time with my one year old niece and her slightly older brother. After a while, I found my cheeks sore from smiling and laughing, watching them have fun. They weren’t playing video games or watching movies, or even playing with the latest or greatest toy. They were just exploring around and discovering wonder in the simplest things.
On Saturday, November 13, 2010, The Cruise Web attended Royal Caribbean’s Crown Awards Gala, a black-tie dinner to honor the top 16 agencies in the mid-Atlantic region. The Cruise Web received a beautiful invitation for several members of The Cruise Web Team, including Cruise Consultants, Managers and Client Services Staff. Royal Caribbean’s Business Development Manager for the region, Bob Rose, hosted the event and deserves special recognition for orchestrating this extravagant evening.
One Cruise Web Sales Manager, Heather Wasson, was recently honored to be invited to the 2010 Ensemble Travel Group International Conference held in Orlando, Florida. The festivities began with the Circle of Excellence black-tie gala. The Circle of Excellence gala was a time to recognize Ensemble’s Top 10 agencies, and The Cruise Web was honored to receive the #1 “Top Sales” award!
On October 20, 2010, The Cruise Web sales team attended Holland America’s annual Moose Mobile training for a hands-on experience inside the cruise line’s motor coach. The Moose Mobile, which offers adventurous trips through Alaska in a luxurious and comfortable motor coach, spent the day parked outside The Cruise Web office. The team was educated on everything from the different Alaska cruises and cruise tours, to the best places to see wildlife and the peak of the fall colors.
Holland America Line is adding another famous partnership to its innovative culinary program as it enters into an exclusive agreement with the illustrious Le Cirque restaurant to offer “An Evening at Le Cirque” in the Pinnacle Grill aboard its fleet of 15 ships.
