Just Another Day at the Office
The next few weeks are exciting times for us here in Seattle office. As our fleet prepares for the start of their 2006 season new & returning crewmembers report to their assigned vessel and orientation begins. Our crews spend several weeks attending in-depth safety training with the final exam being a very rigoruous inspection by the Coast Guard. Soon after, our guests begin joining us on our spring cruises in British Columbia & the Columbia/Snake Rivers.
But, before the lines are cast off for the first cruise, the corporate employees in the Seattle office have to perform the arduous task of attending a training dinner. We are the crew's first guests. First, we participate in a mock boarding. Then, we are greeted by the crew, given a full tour of the ship and shown to our "assigned" cabin. After that, we are invited down to the lounge for our mandatory safety briefing. After this briefing, we are invited to the dining room for dinner.
The menu was just posted for next Tuesday's dinner aboard the Spirit of Discovery.
