I always wondered how to dry off with a towel animal

While all the members of a cruise ship crew work hard to assure that passengers experience a wonderful vacation, one crew member in particular is essential to a fine cruise experience – your cabin steward. Your cabin steward is responsible for cleaning your cabin each day and ensuring that it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. When you first arrive in your cabin, expect your steward to stop by and introduce himself or herself. Remember his or her name – he or she is the person you can count on to bring you extra towels, fresh ice or more shampoo throughout your cruise.

Tulips at Keukenhof, Lisse, Leiden, Holland

Today I wanted to write a very personal blog entry, and I hope you will indulge me. My late father was a garden expert and besides his time working in advertising, he used to write a weekly gardening column and host a weekly radio program devoted to all things gardening. He, like his mother before him, also used to lead groups to various parts of the world. In his later years, he lead tours to Holland when the tulips were in bloom. It was paradise for any garden lover, master gardener and photography buff. In the last few weeks of his life, I asked him where he wished he could visit one more time before embarking on his next journey. Without missing a beat, he responded Holland.
