2017 Saturday, March 4 to Saturday, March 11, 2017 on Holland America’s Westerdam WELCOME Hello and welcome to the JoCo Cruise! As we get underway, I invite you to take a moment to think about what’s happening in the place you usually live when you are not living on a cruise ship. Is it cold and snowy there? Is there a deplorable lack of fruity drinks, hot tubs, and karaoke? Are your co-workers ruefully reading your out-of-office replies and feeling intensely jealous? Probably. Who cares! None of these things are your problem anymore, because you’re here with us. I won’t lie: it’s no small amount of pressure to feel responsible for your good time this week. Admittedly, the odds are in our favor: we have this giant cruise ship all to ourselves, and an amazing lineup of performers and guests. But the thing that always gives me comfort, when I wake up at 3 a.m. from an anxiety dream involving some rather obvious water imagery, is that the Sea Monkeys are an inspiring community of warm and wonderful people. We work hard all year to put together a cruise that we hope will live up to your energy and enthusiasm. Every year, YOU amaze US. We will do our best to return the favor. Thank you for being here. — JONATHAN COULTON 2 JOCO CRUISE CODE OF CONDUCT Be excellent to each other. We expect that every- Don’t steal things.
