Overheard at Seatrade

There was some pretty funny stuff, some of it even intentional...

"There's a lot of money left on the table when crew leave the ship to use internet on land. You could make money off that" -Audience member during IT and Communications panel, apparently unaware that it's bad HR practice to make money off the crew ... and unwise permanently detain them on board

"Disegalitarianism: I made up [this] word, it has 17 letters, I'm quite proud of that" -Adam Goldstein

"Champagne and a chocolate fountain at an 8:30am press briefing? How bad is the news??" -Member of the Press Corps

"The first few days [with Apollo] was a permanent, day-and night-colonoscopy" -Colin Veitch

"Hello. We're the proctologists." -Apollo Capital Management

money on the table

I take it that he meant that cruise companies should contractually prevent the crew from leaving the ship and using internet provided by a third party, thus creating a captive market for their own internet services.
