HAPPY
THANKSGIVING

| Norwegian Escape in St. Thomas USVI |
It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is here already.
Where did 2015 go? As has become my tradition, I'd like to share with
you some of the things that I'm thankful for and highlight some of my
adventures this year.
I hope that you, your family, and friends have plenty to be thankful for this holiday season.
I know that I have plenty of things to be thankful for, including my
health, family, and friends and the ability to share my love of cruising
with all of you. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to explore new
worlds with family and friends again this year.
While this has been another tough economic year, it appears that the cruise industry has weathered the storm once again.
The value of cruising has never been stronger. Even
in these tough times, more and more families have taken to the seas.
Indications are that the record discounts offered the past two years
will be coming to an end. In the meantime those discounts have made
cruising an even better value, and consequently we have seen a surge in
first-time cruisers.
Sailing on Brand New Ships
Once again our conference was held in November and we had the opportunity to thank our veteran members. Thank you to all who have served in our armed forces.
We wonder what the Pilgrims, who came to the New World in Tall Ships, would think about the Norwegian Escape.Their ships measured 110 feet, held 150 passengers at most, and took months to cross the Atlantic. The Escape is more than 10 times that length (1098 feet), holds almost 4248 passengers and 1731 crew, and took just a couple weeks to cross the Atlantic.
Thank you for making our blog column a part of your lives in 2015. I hope that the information we share helps you to dream about future cruises of your own. I'd be honored to help you plan those trips. I have the best job in the world - helping make dreams come true. For that, I'm truly thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving to All
