14 Dec 09 Dear Santa, Bring Me A Cruise Meeting?

Dear Santa Boss,

I’ve been good this year. I didn’t really didn’t try to spill Larry’s coffee all over those horrible business meeting presentation packets; that mess was really just an accident even though everybody started to applaud. I really didn’t mean to make Larry cry either. Poor Larry…

Well, let me rephrase this. Santa? I’m not always good. But, it’s present time anyway?

All I want for Christmas this year is for my July business meeting to happen on a nice sunny cruise ship with free food, after hours entertainment, and an air conditioned conference room. Oh, and a hair dryer available in case I spill my coffee on important papers again. Larry would like it if I requested a hair dryer. See? I’m even thinking of others.

Please Santa Boss, sir? The cost of an incentive cruise is often cheaper than car rentals, motel accommodations, and restaurant food plus important time can be saved by having all meeting members corralled on the same cruise ship where they cannot get lost in traffic.

Just because some people use cruise ships for vacations does not mean that my trip on a luxurious cruise ship cannot be used for work. Conference-style meeting rooms are available on cruise ships that will fit everybody involved, and we can always pull the blinds in those conference rooms until the meeting is over if the windows offer a nasty ol’ scenic view. I promise not to look out of the windows!

So, can I please have a cruise ship for Christmas this year? I’m good. It will save the company money.
