HOW about this for a good booking?
The owner of a US-based furniture manufacturer has offered his 800 employees a free week-long Caribbean cruise.
Staff at Bertch Cabinets in Waterloo, Iowa were told of the special Christmas bonus in mid-Dec, with about 600 excitedly taking up the offer.
They, along with their significant others, will join their ceo on a special charter flight this week from Waterloo to Miami where they will join Carnival Victory for the five night voyage to warmer climes.
The other 200 will get a week off work plus a $900 cash bonus, with company president Gary Bertch saying “we gave people the option of the cash bonus or the vacation.
“We’d love to have everyone come on vacation with us but know it isn’t possible for all for personal reasons, so we wanted to have that alternative available to them,” he said.
