{Wake me up because I am dreaming!}

We went to my yearly Christmas Party for my work just excited to have a nice dinner at the Roof Restaurant at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake

....this is what we left with.

A 7 day LUXURY cruise leaving from ROME, ITALY through GREECE!  ALL expenses paid!

I am in shock! And SO our of our league!  This isn't just any cruise.  It is the best of the best.  The boat is small, every room is a suite and everyone has their own butler.  Here is just a glimpse of what we are in for..

A Butler for Everyone
Meet your very own butler who never says no. Who can unpack your luggage, send your suit out to be pressed, make your dinner reservations … and then tip off the chef that you adore escargot. And when it’s time to retire, your butler ensures that your nocturnal journey is as comfortable as your waking one. Your nightclothes are laid out, the covers turned down, and a sprinkling of rose petals or a chocolate may be placed on your pillow. No detail is too small. No request insignificant.

At Your Service
Around the world and around the clock, your butler is available to pamper you with countless luxuries and delightful surprises:

Upon Arrival
Welcome you with chilled champagne
Present a selection of toiletries
Offer a choice of goosedown, hypoallergenic, or therapeutic pillows
Explain the in-suite entertainment controls
Unpack your luggage, hang clothing and set out personal items
Chill your preferred assortment of beverages in your suite’s refrigerator
Discuss any special food preferences with the chef or maitre d’ hotel
Make onboard dinner reservations*
Arrange private fitness sessions
Throughout Your Voyage
Ensure your suite is immaculate
Suggest and serve breakfast orders
Polish and condition your shoes
Facilitate laundry and dry cleaning requests
Replenish your in-suite bar setup and preferred beverages
Refresh ice bucket
Turndown bedding nightly
Prepare and pack your luggage
Additional Services for Royal, Grand and Owner’s Suites
Liaise with the Silver Shore Concierge to coordinate shoreside activities
Serve afternoon canapés
Secure shoreside dining reservations
Organise an in-suite cocktail party
Draw a scented whirlpool bath

The company I work for is going into their 20 year.  They are doing VERY well.  The owner, Noel, stood up at dinner with tears in his eye saying how much he has always wanted to go on a cruise and he was going to make it happen....we all thought he was talking about with his family...Nope, THE ENTIRE COMPANY.  He was so overwhelmed with emotion he couldn't continue and had to turn the microphone over to the President of the company.
 
Dave and I are in total shock and have no idea what we are in for, we are not travelers.  We don't even have passports!
 
Thank you TestOut!  You are making dreams come true!

Wow!!! That is so exciting. Sounds like you work for a wonderful company. I wish I worked there! :) You had better get your passports underway, they can take awhile. Oh the scrapbooking and blogging fodder you will have on your cruise!
