SEM4236 Posted October 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'm a college student who is OBSESSED with cruising. In my public speaking class, we must give a 5-7 minute informational speech on a topic of our choice. I REALLY want to do mine on cruising with an emphasis on RCCL as I've only cruised with them. However 5 minutes isn't a lot of time. I need to chose one aspect to inform my class on that wont bore them. I'd love to hear some input from fellow cruisers! If you don't think this is a good idea at all, please feel free to say so! Thanks in advance! SEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 2, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I think it's a brilliant idea.... to speak about something you are passionate about will enthuse your audience. Think about the very first time you set foot on board a ship. What did it feel like? What did you see? What did you do? Are you able to use a slideshow? What was your favourite port of call? Why? There's your 5 minutes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sross6019 Posted October 2, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Focus on why cruising is so enjoyable such as being waited on, visiting numerous places in a short amount of time, beautiful surroundings, interesting people from all over the world, why it is so passionate to you.

JM-1972 Posted October 2, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2013 My daughter did a 5-7 minute talk to her class when she was aged 12 on Oasis. They were amazed how big the ship is and everything it offers. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribbles77 Posted October 2, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Maybe you could aim to let people know about the amount of things to do when cruising, using RCCL ships as an example, i know a lot of non cruising folks worry about being on a ship at sea and getting bored or feeling trapped, the feeling trapped could then lead to topics such as the types of staterooms etc. If you don't want to go for the ship angle of things ou could look at the geographical/historical advantages to cruising, eg. visiting many places of interest on one vacation Hope that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted October 2, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 2, 2013 A few statistics might be interesting. The amount of food and drinks the galley goes through on a single voyage always blows my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had my 5th out of 6 chemotherapy treatments this morning... resting, nesting. I feel well for now but I know the start of my down cycle is coming. Must self-inject 7 days' worth of Neupogen and that's a little nauseating in itself! But thanks, overall doing well and on the way to healthy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
