All Hands Working Together; Cruise for a Week: Meet 79 Cultures, by Jackie Chase "Experience living in the never-ending voyage of cruising." All Hands Working Together peeks below the waterline and behind water-tight doors to discover the secrets of how a crew from 79 nations were united into a guest-pleasing team on the world's largest cruise ship. Cruise travel conjures up words like passion, boundless enthusiasm, impatient yearning, and intense satisfaction. The laid-back attitudes, awesome entertain¬ment, and superb food flavors awaken a wonderful place inside. But let's not rob ourselves of the most precious heritage- the legends, history, music, food, superstitions, and realizations of foreign traditions. Cruise travel can be marked by connections to people rather than merely to places. Join crew members as they reveal the wisdom of living cultures and share personal stories from around the world. All Hands Working Together satisfies your curiosity about the very people who take care of you. The international spice opens your eyes to new dimensions and increases cross-cultural awareness. Could such a book become a guide for inter-cultural cooperation in organizations everywhere? Imagine applying the team building magic in government, non-profits, or business settings! Freedom to talk to our planet mates could indeed change our life and attitudes as we learn the harmonious ways nationalities can live together. Whether you are a cyber-traveler or one with cruise tickets in hand, you will want to climb aboard for a fun tour of this massive floating resort. Anchor yourself on a comfy cushion and experience a vacation that gets under your skin as its ideas change your life.
