A Merry Onboard Christmas!

Christmas away from family and friends can be tough, and we often miss out on parties and get-togethers back home, but luckily we’re all a pretty sociable bunch onboard too! It’s one of those times that we’re all in the same boat (no pun intended) so we all pull together and help keep each other’s spirits up.

Now we’re fully underway into the Caribbean season, we decided it was time to organise our Christmas party for the Accommodation team, and as we now have an overnight stop in St Vincent, we thought we’d celebrate on dry land for a change. The staff all clubbed together to raise money for a ‘do’ (partly helped along with a welcome donation from the Accom management team), and the Accom Committee decided to hold it at the terminal building at the port.

And after we'd tucked into a festive buffet and drinks, we shared Secret Santa presents, played a few silly party games and sang Christmas carols, we finished it all off in a real party-mood with some music and dancing.

Our carol concert!

All in all, 102 accommodation and laundry staff came, as well as some extra special invites for those members of the crew who work ‘behind the scenes’ e.g. plumbers and carpenters. It was such a fun night and we all had a brilliant time. It really was a great way to end the year, and made sure we were well and truly in the festive mood!

Festive fun with the Accomodation Team

Hope you had a great Christmas and hope to see you on board in 2009!
