Tim Ford wrote about why we’re doing SQLCruise in his latest tip at MSSQLTips.  Here’s a quote:

Both Brent and I are believers that you learn just as much, if not more, from those who you spend time with during conferences as you do in the conferences themselves.  We felt the camaraderie between attendees could be enhanced by locating the training sessions on a cruise ship or a resort where you would find yourself spending more time with your fellow students.  We also felt that it was important to keep class size low and expand the session length to allow for personalization in the presentations and to allow for plenty of questions!  Furthermore we’ll be hanging out at the pool and in the bar with the students and the Q&A will be able to follow us to those non-standard training venues as well.
