The company that I work for has been having this traditional “Corporate Retreat” for their staff annually. Every year around September, being the largest Cruising company in North America, we all get to go and experience a different ship. This year we are going on the Holland America Cruiseline for 3 nights – the ship will start and finish in Vancouver, which comes in handy for me (last year it finished in Seattle). I wasn’t really all that excited about it because ultimately, I’ll be forced to work during the weekend (with all the meetings and everything else that comes with it). But I just found out that my stateroom had been upgraded to a deluxe with verandah
Can’t complaint about that… Too bad that spouses aren’t allowed to come. It’d be a romantic getaway if my hubby could tag along with me. Nevertheless, it’d be interesting to hang out with everyone outside of the work environment. The thing is, Holland America is pretty much invested with golden age group. So I don’t think they’d appreciate the noise while we’re around, especially when there’s lots of booze involved…!
Bon Voyage…
