A few weeks ago I heard a pod cast of a short story written by Neil Gaiman, featured on the This American Life’s radio program. The segment was all about adventure and how adventure has different meanings to different people. For Gaiman’s family, adventure meant a harrowing experience getting the daily mail. For others, adventure is defined by scaling the perils of Mt. Everest. An adventure of whatever sort is truly seen in the eye of the beholder.
One of the best aspects of cruising is that you’ll never run out of opportunities to do something new and adventurous (unless you’ve done it all – in which case, stop bragging). Aim to do something that makes your friends back home jealous! Need inspiration? Take a walk on the wild side and explore our favorite adventures!
Over the last few months, several of The Cruise Web’s employees had a chance to take in some live music courtesy of Carnival Cruise Lines. The “Summer Concert Series,” as it’s become known around the office, kicked off in June when Kathy Donnelly, Business Development Director for Carnival Cruise Lines, dropped off a few tickets to see the Rascal Flatts. The tickets were offered in appreciation for the long relationship between The Cruise Web and Carnival. Little did we know that they were just the first of many…
The Cruise Web had several reasons to celebrate on September 29, 2011. One hundred thousand reasons, in fact, for on that day The Cruise Web reached 100,000 bookings!
What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done on vacation?
Err, to be more accurate, The Cruise Web won 534th place in the Team Relay at last weekend’s Baltimore Running Festival – but we’re no less proud.
Karolina kicked things off with a gutsy run through Baltimore’s challenging Druid Hills. She then handed off to Seth who wound his way back through the city to the halfway point. Desiree took over from there and turned in another fantastic split to set up the relay’s final leg. Yossi had the anchor leg and did an excellent job finishing strong and doing the company proud!
The Cruise Web is excited to announce its participation in the Team Relay at next month’s Baltimore Running Festival. The Team Relay race, which winds through the city of Baltimore on the same course as the full marathon, features four unique legs varying in length from 5.9 to 7.1 miles each. This year’s team is captained by Karolina Shenton and includes Desiree Gibson, Yossi May and Seth Woodward – all equally eager to take on the competition when the starting gun goes off at 8am on Saturday, October 15th.
