Nov 20, 2009 – Well NEST Fest is over today, and we are on our way to the Sheraton for the NACTA conference. After checking in, we went to the Sweet Tomato for a quick lunch. Then this afternoon met some of the other agents and went to the Celebration Ship for a welcome reception and tour.
This ship was previously a ferry in the Baltic, they have completely re-done it and although it is small 36,000 tons it is quite nice. The staff is great, and although the cabins are small they are clean and comfortable.
Tonight we went to dinner with several other agents at the Fish Company, which is actually a restaurant inside the Bass Pro Shop. The food was very good! The company and conversation was GREAT!
Nov 21, 2009 - Up early for breakfast sponsored by Funjet followed by our first Sales seminar lead by Scott Koepf, president of NACTA. Penney, Kevin, Susan, Meloney, Andre’, Carol, Glenn, and Barbara all attended, however, i decided to hang out by the pool. Penney said she has been to this presentation several times but always learns so much so she went again.
Next was lunch, yummy… then General Sessions and 4 breakouts. We heard from: Globus, all about their wonderful tours as well as the Avalon cruises. Carl from Celebrity gave us all the new info about where they are going in 2010 as well as an update on the Solsitice, what a beautiful ship!!!! Then on to #3, with NACTA, a Q&A session which was very informative and finally Viking River Cruises.
This evening was a blast ‘from the past’, dinner was sponsored by Celebrity cruises and the theme was a 1970’s party. Many agents came dressed, Penney and Kevin did not :) But look at some of these folks!!
