Transcript of Mmb Pp Pres Cruise 97
My cruising story begins just after my 20th birthday, on a charming 600 passenger Italian ship called the Costa Allegra.
My cozy suburban adolescence produced in me a deep longing to see the world. And so, see it I did!
On a whim I decided to send a resume to a Cruise Boutique concessions company & within 3 weeks I was on a plane to Genova to start my new job as an onboard Shopgirl!
Cruise Ship Boutique staff or “Shoppies” as they are known, have probably got the best hours of anyone on board! With all that time in port I was free to explore & adventure in places I had
only ever dreamed of seeing.

Port after port I became increasingly enamored with ship life. Maybe it’s the Aquarius in me, but I just had to be at Sea!
The adventures were endless, the misadventures hilarious and the pictures and memories are simply unforgettable!

My time on board was sweet and very cherished. To me a Cruise is not only a superb holiday, it’s representative of a way of life for many worldly citizens. Those of us for whom the ends of the world are vast but reachable and your friends, loved ones and your Home exist without borders.
