Review for Buddy Cruise Inc, Lithia, FL, USA
I have been involved with Buddy Cruise since their inaugural voyage in October 2008, as their photographer. Buddy Cruise provides quality education and fun activities on a cruise. Workshop topics include education (including IEPs and working with public school), health issues, sex, and more! Aside from the workshops, they organize dances, ice cream socials, group tours, and more for the conference attendees. They strike a good balance between "free time" to explore the ship & the island(s) and Buddy Cruise-specific events (workshops and social functions).
Past speakers include Emily Perl Kingsley (Sesame Street writer), Chris Burke ("Corky" from Life Goes On) with Joe & John DeMasi, Troy McClain ("The Apprentice"), musician Sujeet Desai, and many others.
The best part of Buddy Cruise is the friendships that are forged. Each year, I look forward to seeing past cruisers, as well as meeting new families. It's such a friendly group of people and I hope to be a part of it each year.
