I'm the newest addition at Brown & Keene Cruises. So happy to have this forum. Thanks to John & Karen.

Would love to hear from you!

Best regards,
Julie Harris

Thank you Margo & Robert for the warm welcome.

Welcome!

Claudia

Welcome, Julie!

I am sure you are a very "welcome" addition to Ngaire's outstanding staff!

So good luck in your new job, I'm sure that working for Ngaire, and her agency will be a wonderful experience for you! Good luck and best wishes in your new job.

Hi Julie, Happy to meet you through LCT.

Betty

Hi Jules! Welcome aboard! Tell us about your upcoming cruises, hopefully some of us will be sailing with you.

Welcome, Julie! As you've probably already seen, this board is loads and load of fun and good information. We'll enjoy getting to know you and learning from you, too.

Hello from Las Vegas Julie! Hope to meet you on a future cruise. Hope you enjoy this site. It is lots of fun and interesting information and friendship too. Judy & John

When you sent me that great flight itinerary, MIA to CDG and NCE to MIA, I knew that a new name appeared. I knew a Julie Harris in Montreal, about 40 years ago. She was a brilliant and beautiful stage actress. So thanks for the 1st. class seats and welcome to LCT.

Hi Julie,

Welcome "aboard". Be prepared though - it gets addictive! :)

Enjoy your new job. We hope to meet you on a cruise someday.

Kathy

Welcome Julie!

Hope to meet you soon!

Anthony

Welcome Julie!
I have heard wonderful things about you from Ngaire!!
Sheri

Welcome Julie!

What a great job that must be. You gals work hard but you've got to love the perks. I'm also curious as to what cruises you'll be planning for yourself.

Kathy

Hi Julie:

Look forward to your following the tradition of B&K of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Cheers! Ray

Accomplishing the impossible means only the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Thank you everyone! This is great. What a wonderful group of people. And yes, Kathleen, I can see how this might become an addiction.

I have been on the Paul Gauguin and the Mariner. Right now, I am getting my feet wet on the agent side of things, so no cruises currently planned.

Hi Julie:

As I was cleansing my thoughts and body while showering, I thought that maybe I was too brief in my message. I just wanted to point out that when things do go wrong in any business, it is how they are rectified that is important. And of course, the silk purse also covers the change from CC to L.C.T.

Hope our cruise paths cross one day soon.

Cheers! Ray

Ray,
Yes, Ngaire does have a wonderful way of handling things. I feel so privileged to be learning from the best.
Jules

Julie,
Keep your head down, remember the best defense is a good offense and don't loan me any money. (this is the best advice I can give)
Other than that, have a great time working for the best. Do a superior job, and you might get an invitation to the harem - all this remains to be seen - based on performance, that is.l
Marty

Marty we have already warned Julie about the sheik. In fact today we had a special luncheon - shut down the office and all went out to lunch. Ken was in a private dining room with 11 girls. He said "eat your heart out Marty".

There are many fine other men out there. Lawrence comes to mind. Then there is little old me. We may not have a harem but we have good taste in cars.

So true Chip. Your post made me laugh.

Ngaire,
Yes,Ken may have had lunch with 11 ladies, but it's not the same! The harem ambience plus it's benefits and golden goodies far surpass just lunch...Although I wish I had been there - always looking for new harem members of superior quality, - I do not begrudge Ken his moment in the spotlight. The man is a saint!

I do not know what you've told Julie about the Sheik, suffice it to say, her learning experience will be most enjoyable....hehehe...

Golden Goodies...huh???? Somehow I missed that benny!

Margo,
Obtained but yet to be distributed! You haven't missed any benny - yet!! Wait, patient soul, just wait!!!
Marty

Margo - I haven't seen any golden goodies either!

Claudia

Well, it was a pretty good lunch and Ken is great company. So your harem has some competition. Guess we will need details on those "golden goodies" <img border="0" alt="[naughty]" title="" src="graemlins/naughty.gif" /> to make our decision.

Jules

Now you see, the golden goodies and other specialities remain hidden until the Sheik requires them. I do not divulge any information about them - you, first of all, have to be a member of the harem, secondly, you have to have time in service and your service has to warrant the goodies. All of this is a lengthy but most rewarding experience. I encourage you to submit your application asap as there are lots of candidates seeking admission. (The wayside is also full of rejects and wannabees that haven't made the grade!) So, as to your request for information on the "golden goodies," I have to reject your quest for details - stating that
it's all there - all things bright and beautiful!
The Sheik

Jules. We have lost your picture. I hope you have not pulled it because of. Well never mind.

Chip,
I have a new picture. I will add it later. Are you suggesting that maybe "The Sheik" scared me off. :ohmy:

Jules, Well I hope Marty didn't scare you off. I was wondering if it was slow internet connections on my end. (cell based wireless works great in LA but not very well in the wilderness). I look forward to your new picture.

You have your Sheiks and than you have your Cowboys. (Please let this not start a debate between Arab horses vs Throughbreds). Sheiks have their harems and we have our cowgirls. Jules you being from Dallas, HMMMM.

Marty, this is all in fun.

Karen, please don't delete this post, it took me a half an hour to even get an internet connection from here.

Chip: A young beautiful girl should definitely opt to be a cowgirl .... do you iron??? J

Chip, why would I delete it?

Karen, just trying to be funny. I'm just so happy to have my laptop up and running I may be getting carried away.

Lest we forget

Always remember

Julie, I too have heard such great things about you. Welcome!!

BTW, for those who have not had the pleasure to meet or sail with Ngaire (and Ken), it is SUCH A TREAT!! Everyone loves Ngaire (duh!!) and you'll feel like you've married into royalty!! Being one of Ngaire's clients on a RSSC ship is like a grand slam! They adore her and really bend over backwards to keep her customers happy! :) :) :) She is truly the Queen of Radisson!
