My personal itinerary in New York City did include a show, but just as I prefer to do when on a cruise vacation, I enjoyed mixing in a variety of different activities. However, unlike the high cost and sometimes challenging access of many activities in the Big Apple, cruising includes a myriad of activities for little or no extra cost that are right there on your own floating city!
The Cruise Web hosted its first ever Gold Medal Event this past February to help celebrate the recent winter Olympics in Vancouver.
The event took place online as past passengers of The Cruise Web were invited to nominate their favorite Cruise Web employee for a “gold medal” of service. Employees were nominated by their past passengers as a sign of appreciation for the hard work they had done for the nominating past passenger.
Just in, there’s been a new delivery at The Cruise Web. Karolina Shenton, The Cruise Web’s Marketing and Operations Manager, and her husband just had their first baby!

In early February, The Cruise Web found itself in the middle of two record-breaking Maryland snowstorms. The storms, labeled by many as the “Blizzard of 2010” produced over three feet of snow in less than a week and broke several city records for total snowfall in a single winter season.
Crystal Cruises recently recognized The Cruise Web in its First Annual Sales Achievement Celebration. The achievement, which acknowledges The Cruise Web’s work with Crystal Symphony in 2009, means a great deal to The Cruise Web, which prides itself not only on excellent client relationships but also on its cruise line relationships. The award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all of The Cruise Web’s employees.
Although I was just a young boy at the time, the most exciting and memorable sporting victory I have ever witnessed has to be the 1980 “Miracle on Ice”. This was the year that a young US men’s hockey team, made up of amateur and college players, toppled the “unbeatable” Soviet Union hockey power house at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. USA then went on to beat Finland, to claim the gold medal.
Looking back to the build-up of that 1980 game, I can remember feeling how the Soviets were something akin to unstoppable robots. They were “perfect” in their execution, “never” made mistakes, and I almost thought of them as super-human, or maybe even non-human.
This January, a lucky group of Cruise Web employees were invited to experience MSC Cruise’s newest addition to the Caribbean, the MSC Poesia. The group, led by President Frans Hansen, headed to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for an evening of entertainment, a unique dining experience, and a night of dancing and cocktails to gain valuable first-hand experience aboard the new ship. Joining Frans were Group Development Manager Rosalind Smith, Sales Manager Mike Harris, Client Service Representative Fiona Kapadia, and Cruise Consultants Jarren Matthews, Said Durrah and Mark Garza.
