Crew Bags
How do you begin to do something special for the 896 crew members that do an amazing job every single day of a world cruise? Especially the crew members that are behind the scenes…engineering, food service, laundry, and marine, to name a few.
On this world cruise, we gave them a book mark and a handmade frame, as well as snacks and candy, in a decorated bag. Our fearless and awesome leaders Diane Hellenophile and Donna Zupeck organized volunteers, months in advance via the 2024 World Cruise Facebook page, to bring aboard all the supplies needed. At 3:45pm most sea days, volunteers showed up to craft the frames, stamp the bags and finally stuff the bags. It was a herculean effort.
Yesterday, the bags were distributed to each department on the ship, to be given to each crew member. It was a labor of love and a super fun way to meet new people. We will miss the camaraderie and are grateful to have been a part of such a great group of people.
What a generous act of kindness to all of the people who work tirelessly to make your journey safe and pleasurable! All of these amazing people are very far away from their loved ones and your goody bags are a way of reaching hands around the world, making your ship a family of all!
