  • Manager's Insight – Make Your Own Memories

    My name is Mike Harris, I’m a Sales Manager at The Cruise Web and I’ll be presenting this month’s Manager’s Insight. As a new father, writing our Manager’s Insight about “Nightlife” seems a little foreign to me. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not that far removed from the college days filled with late nights in local haunts. But for the past 8 months, my idea of “nightlife” has been more of a “shut the door quietly or you’ll wake up the baby” kind of atmosphere (that’s usually followed by a loving “And if you wake her up, you’re sleeping outside” reminder from my wife).

  • Wedding Bells Ring at The Cruise Web

    Memorial Day Weekend is always a favorite holiday as it marks the start of summer and gives many a long weekend away from work. However, this past Memorial Day Weekend was even more special for Lauren Kaplan, The Cruise Web’s Benefits Coordinator & Administrative Assistant. On Saturday, May 28, 2011 she was married to her fiance Ben Kaplan. They had a destination wedding in Pembroke Pines, Florida (just outside of Fort Lauderdale). With Lauren working in the cruise industry and having a wedding near a large cruise port, it only made sense for her to embark on a Caribbean cruise for her honeymoon. Well, why don’t we just let Lauren tell you herself…

  • Cruise Web Manager Experiences the Brand New Seabourn Quest with Mom

    Karolina Shenton, The Cruise Web’s Manager of Marketing and Sales Operations, recently returned from an inaugural celebration aboard the brand new Seabourn Quest. Fortunately, we were able to steal enough of Karolina’s time to have her tell us about her inaugural experience, first hand:
    “I recently had the opportunity to experience Seabourn’s newest ship the Quest, on her inaugural voyage from Rome (Civitavecchia) to Monte Carlo. What made this voyage even more exciting was that my mom flew in from Poland to join me!
    There we were, mother and daughter aboard one of the most beautiful and well appointed ships at sea. When I first boarded, I was taken by the red carpet and champagne welcome we received by the amazing staff. Not only were we told where to find our suite; a staff member personally escorted us there. In all my cruising, that is the first time I’ve had a personal escort to my suite.

  • New Mugs and Tree Hugs

    Inspired by our “Green” newsletter from March, The Cruise Web recently did away with our office’s Styrofoam coffee cups in favor of environmentally-friendly ceramic coffee mugs. Several of the mugs will be reserved for visitors, but we’ve made sure that each and every member of The Cruise Web team receives their own mug. The new mugs feature our company logo and, more importantly, they’ll help us cut back on waste. The switch to ceramic coffee mugs is the latest part of The Cruise Web’s continuing effort to be as “green” as possible.
