Come Join Us on a SQL Cruise in 2012

It’s certainly a great time of the year.  The air is crisp, but not too cold.  The trees are turning to shades of ochre, scarlet, and yellow.  We’re all not sweating through our clothes or freezing in our boots…

Perhaps we should reconvene when that is not quite the case.  Perhaps January in Miami on board a SQL Cruise headed towards the Eastern Caribbean?  Maybe we can collect on the back deck of the Norwgian Jewel in Seattle just as it’s getting ready to start that ramp up to boiling humidity at the end of May for a SQL Cruise to Alaska?

All good things start with one small decision.  Today is the day to make your choice.  Do you want to read about all the fun and see all the amazing photos taken by your peers that have attended a SQL Cruise or do you want to take it all in first-hand; the premier training, the first class vistas, the networking and bonding that happens with you, your fellow Cruisers, and the Trainers?

If you are looking for a SQL Server training environment that is small group focused, where you will have the opportunity to build deeper connections with your peers then a typical conference, then SQL Cruise is the best choice. SQL Cruise was an outstanding experience that was not only highly educational but fun too! I highly recommend SQL Cruise to all SQL Server professionals.

Registration is now open and seating is limited to the first 15 cruisers for each cruise.  All the information you need in order to join us can be found on our registration page including how and who to contact to secure your stateroom before registration can begin for the SQL Cruise of your dreams.  You must book through our dedicated Norwegian Cruise Lines Group Services Personal Cruise Consultant in order to reserve your stateroom.  We’re looking forward to seeing you with us aboard one of the two SQL Cruises we will be producing in 2012.  Unless you’ve sailed with us before you simply won’t understand the great things that happen when you’re on a SQL Cruise.

Last year I attended both SQL Cruise Miami and the Pass Summit in Seattle.  While both were awesome, I found SQL Cruise to be more rewarding from both a training and networking perspective.  It’s great having so much access to MVP caliber talent like there is with it being such a small group.  I also brought my Dad as my guest and he had a wonderful time participating in SQL Cruise activities, and all the contests and events can really make it a fun time for what we call a “plus one”.  I enjoyed being alongside other Cruisers that were passionate about SQL and I learned a lot from my fellow cruisers as well.  Keep up the good work guys, nothing else out there comes close!
