My husband forwarded me an email from MSC Cruises this morning, headed “Girls’ getaway at sea”. His comment was “I’d hate to have to captain a ship full of 14-year-olds!”, which I appreciated immensely. Then I read the press release and got irritated. So, inspired by the glorious hilarity and social commentary that is the manwhohasitall Tumblr (and accompanying Twitter account – http://twitter.com/manwhohasitall), I changed things up a bit. Boys, enjoy your getaway!
[NOTE: The only grammar I’ve fixed is their horrid misuse of apostrophes pretty much throughout the press release. Beyond that, all I’ve changed is the gender-related words.]
ALL FUN, NO STRESS, AND NO GIRLS – CRUISING IS A GREAT OPTION FOR A UNIQUE AND UNFORGETTALE BOYS’ WEEKEND GETAWAY.
Johannesburg, 30 September 2015: Why not take your “boys’ night out” to the next level, and arrange a boys’ weekend getaway on-board the MSC Sinfonia instead? Says Allan Foggitt, Marketing and Sales Director for MSC Cruises: “Holidays to luxurious and exotic destinations are fast replacing the old fashioned and staid getaway for male group travel – and nowhere is as nothing is as much fun or more exotic than the newly refurbished MSC Sinfonia. It ticks all the boxes, offering exotic destinations, supreme pampering, lots of entertainment, and the ability to just sit back and relax while everything is taken care of for you.”
He says that the best destinations for an all-guy getaway allow men to put aside their worries about work, kids and relationships, and to just relax and unwind in the company of their best boyfriends: “Cruises are a great option for an all-guy getaway – they are safe, offer plenty to do and incredible dining, entertainment and wellness options. What’s more, is that you can choose to cruise to exotic destinations, for some added on-shore adventure, without all the hassle. Local destinations include various ports of call along the South African coastline, as well as in Mauritius, Reunion and Namibia.”
Allan explains that what really sets a cruise apart from other weekend getaways is that it offers a wide range of activities, entertainment and pastimes that caters to all age groups and all personality types: “With all the on-board entertainment and activities available, you will never be at a loss when it comes to choosing how to spend your days. You can make your cruise as relaxing or action-packed as you want it to be. MSC Cruises offer the best of both daytime and nighttime excitement. Fill your days with sightseeing, water sports, cultural activities, spa treatments or simply lounge by the pool and relax. At night, you can enjoy casinos, theatre shows, live music, dancing or just spend a quiet evening gazing at the stars. There is something for everybody, allowing you to truly customise your time spent on-board to what appeals to you and your boyfriends.”
A “boys’ cruise getaway” can be organised to cater for a number of different reasons – here are some ideas:
The bachelor party: If you are looking to arrange a bachelor party that is more sophisticated than the typical drunken swagger around a restaurant or nightclub, then why not consider a weekend cruise?
A dads’ retreat: Being a dad is one of the most fulfilling things in the world; however it can also be one of the most challenging. Why not organise a weekend cruise with your closest boyfriends and claim some valuable “me time” to recharge your batteries?
Father-and-son getaway: If you are looking for a special gift for your dad, or you just want to spend some time and catch-up with him – a weekend cruise could be the answer. It also makes an ideal Father’s Day present!
A break without the girls: Sometimes, all you need is some time to get away from it all and indulge in some guys-only activities. A weekend cruise is the ideal way to achieve this.
