CANCELLED DUE TO COVID
March 8-15, 2020
Cape Liberty, NJ to Bahamas
RCL Anthem of the Seas

Does it seem like people don’t talk to strangers much as they used to? Why is everyone on their phones and ignoring the people around them?

Does it seem like grandparents don’t know their grandchildren and vice versa? The generations live apart, they work apart, they play apart. They even go on vacations separately. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Half the colleges in the United States are on Spring Break during the week of March 8-15, 2020.  That’s when cruise ships have the highest number of young adults cruising.

Join us, and whether you are young or old, we’ll show you how to talk to and swap stories with the people around you, even without having someone introduce you or meeting on a dating app. If you’ve never spent quality time with your grandparents, at  least you can spend time with somebody else’s grandparents. Your grandchildren won’t tell you what life is like for them? That’s a shame, but at least you can find out what life is like for young people from others.

Book your cruise directly with the Royal Caribbean or your favorite travel agent and then send us a message through the form above letting us know you’ll be joining us. We’ll get in touch with you about when we’ll be having meetings and the schedule of on-board activities. We’ll also invite you to install an app we’re developing called Stranger Trainer that you can use to get people to put down their phone and take up a conversation with you.

Copenhagen to New York
Norwegian Cruise Line Breakaway

Performance Coach & Leadership Development Consultant Andy Gilbert and Talk To Me Cruise founder Brooke Allen led the 2018 TTL “Co-Working” cruise on the  2 October 2018 sailing on the NCL Breakaway leaving Copenhagen (Denmark) and visiting Gothenburg (Sweden), Southampton (England), Cork (Ireland), Ponta Delgada (Azores) and arriving in New York City on 16 October 2018. 

Each of us brought our own individual projects to work on. While in port we were on vacation but during the 8 sea days we worked. We’d meet at breakfast to help motivate each other to get to work, and we’d meet at a bar at 5:30 PM each day to report on the day’s progress.

PAST CRUISE
7-Day New York to Hamilton and St. George Bermuda
Holland American Veendam

While at sea on the way to Bermuda professional game designer, Jai Ji, taught classes on game design using the textbook The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell.  Participants were tasked with designing games while in port in Hamilton, Bermuda.

On the way back participants presented games and we held an award ceremony.

PAST CRUISE
Entire Office Off-Site (55 People)
New York to Halifax

Nearly all the employees of a small brokerage firm go to Halifax over the 4th of July holiday. While at sea they study and discuss A Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street by Lo and MacKinlay.

While in Halifax the cruisers participated in a scavenger hunt. On the return trip prizes were awarded for fastest time and “dead last but finished.”

PAST CRUISE
22 People Discuss 14 Books
7-Days Bermuda from New York

Fourteen people presented and led a discussion on each of 14 books. Eight additional people attended but don’t present. The cruise ship provided meeting space for the presentations and each presentation typically runs 30-45 minutes during three days at sea.

PAST CRUISE
“Extra Credit” Off-Site
7-Week To Florida and the Bahamas

Eight employees were rewarded for doing “extra credit” projects with a week for them and their families on a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas from New York. In order to go on the cruise the employee must use his own time to work on a personal passion project.

The cruise company gives them a room for their exclusive use during the cruise. They set up their laptops and an LAN and continue to work on their projects during their sea days.

PAST CRUISE
Two Artists for One Week
7 Day Bermuda Cruise from New York

Polish artist Janus Gilewicz  http://januszgilewicz.com/ and his partner were gifted a 7-day cruise to Bermuda. While on-board he developed a new technique for painting on feathers.

His partner wrote a children’s book.

PAST CRUISE
Programmers work without interruption
7 Day Caribbean from Miami on Carnival

By getting out of the office for a week it is possible to get some serious coding done without interruptions from pebkac users. Because the employer is willing to allow employees to work from home it is easy to let them work from sea as long as they get their work done.
