Boss pays for company cruise to Cabo San Lucas. How to thank him?

Question

As our 30th anniversary of being in business he has offered to take employees & 1 guest to Cabo San Lucas on a Carnival Cruise. I don't have much $ but need to thank him after the trip. I'm thinking about a nice bottle of wine & card??

Answer 1

I think the wine and the card sound great and I suggest that you have the wine, or some champaign, delivered to his stateroom as a gift. You can order it online or call the cruise line and tell them what you want.

Answer 2

Easy way to handle this is to go to the cruise line web site or call the cruise line well in advance tell them you need to send a gift to someone on the cruise they have a great selection of gifts they will receive on the cruise as low as 30-40 bucks.

Answer 3

Our boss takes us on a cruise every year - it started out small and has continued to get bigger. Last year was a week in the caribbean. We were in the same boat as you, so we got some other couples from work together to buy the boss a bigger thank you. Our boss is a woman, so one year, we paid for her to get some spa treatments during a day at sea. Another year, we just got a ton of "beach stuff" together and gave it to her before we left. Good luck!

Answer 4

Send a nice bottle of wine to his stateroom with some hordorves. Doesn't cost that much and he will appreciate the thought.

Answer 5

i agree with sphexed a group gift would be best since it is very inappropriat to give a gift to your manager/boss.... kinda viewed as sucking up, but a gift from an appriciative group as a whole seems very thankful rather than kiss a$$ your very lucky! have fun & let loose... maybe even a private "thank you so much for recognizing our hard work in such a generous manner. we will never forget it" kind of thank you directly to him would be great too.
