The Crossword Puzzle Cruise

I can’t believe I missed the memo on such an important event happening in my own backyard! Here’s the link from which I stole the following letter:

Dear Puzzle Friend:You’re invited to join me on our Ninth Annual Crossword-theme event: a relaxing 10-day cruise from Ft Lauderdale, on Holland America Line’s beautiful ms Noordam. The itinerary includes 5 terrific Caribbean Ports plus a visit to Holland America’s private island, Half Moon Cay.

You can count on me for an entertaining program of puzzle activities while you’re on board. You’ll have a “full boat” of crosswords, word games, and other puzzles to keep you busy, and I’ll be leading instructional seminars on improving your solving skills and creating puzzles of your own.

Of course, the Noordam has plenty of non-puzzle activities for you and “signifcant others” to enjoy, plus all the luxurious amenities you would expect from Holland America Line. Special Event Cruises, who has handled the travel arrangements for our previous eight cruises, is a first-rate company that specializes in organizing seagoing theme events at discount prices. Their people are friendly and accommodating, and I’m sure you’ll find it a pleasure dealing with them.

For more information, or to book your cruise, call Special Event Cruises at 1-800-326-0373. Looking for a roommate? Ask Special Event Cruises about Holland America’s unique cabin share program. They will attempt to find you a cabin-mate, and if they can’t, you’ll get a single room at the “per person” double-occupancy rate. You must book your cruise through Special Event Cruises to participate in the crossword program.

For any puzzle-related questions, please contact me directly, either by regular e-mail or e-mail at the addresses at the top of this letter. I look forward to seeing you – and puzzling you – on board the ms Noordam.

Sincerely,


Stanley Newman
President

Who I Am ePeterso2I’m Eric Peterson, and my email address is epeterso2@puzzlehead.org. I’m a software engineer who lives in a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I’ve enjoyed solving puzzles for years, and a few years ago I began constructing puzzles of my own. If you’re ever in Broward County and would like to get together some time, please send me a note by email and let me know. I love the opportunity to meet with other puzzleheads, especially if it involves lunch. Puzzle Testing I believe that the best way to make a puzzle even better is to ask someone else to solve it. You learn so much about how people think, how people approach your puzzle, pitfalls they may encounter, and outright errors in your construction by having someone else try it before you unleash it upon the world. If you’re a puzzle constructor, I would be honored to test your puzzle for you. Send me email with your puzzle or a link to it, and I’ll try solving it, as long as I have time available to do so. I’m a busy guy, so my time is limited … but I’m always open to a challenge.

Most of the bugs that caused ePeterso1 to go haywire have been corectted in ePeterso2.
