My company usually chooses our annual convention onboard
a cruise ship. Been doing this for
years. I love it !
Though we may be in meetings all day, by night time, we
can then plan our dinner and our evening entertainment. Best of both worlds … work … and play.
So while I am on my cruise, I don’t choose to work,
outside of our meetings. I have an
associate watch my work phone (handle new vacation bookings that come in) and
my staff handles the “already booked” through our Customer Service Team.
# 1 reason I don’t work, more than just the meetings,
while at our annual convention, is cause this time, is also part of my vacation
… I leave my free time to play !
So I guess my question to you is … What “kind” of work
must you do while gone ? What I mean is,
do you specifically need internet ?
Internet is slow and costly on a cruise ship, which is
another reason I don’t choose to work while onboard. So yes, if you need lots of internet, maybe
an All-Inclusive Resort with complimentary Wifi, is better for you !
This week, our company had our annual board meeting at an
All-Inclusive. I opted to stay more
days, because they said, complimentary calls to the US and Wifi. So though I go out for meals, I am in my room
working, with call calling and wifi.
I’m at the Finest Playa Mujeres. Wifi is supposed to be all over. For the most part, it doesn’t do too
bad. Sometime, I have to sit in a
certain seat to get wifi at the bar or at a restaurant, yet other times, it
works just fine. As far as my room, the
power is not strong enough, to work out company system at all times, so not
totally perfect !
Either way … Either choice … What a great way to work
! What a view ! What an environment to be in for as long as
you can.
Though I guess I will be glad, when I get home, where
there are no hickups with internet & phone … Till I leave this Friday, I am
loving it ! Though a little too much
time in my room … With being a work-a-holic
!
