5 Business Lessons Learned Cruising With Carnival

When I took an 8 day Caribbean voyage this summer with my family (see post here), I had no intention of doing any business much less thinking of it.

Fab Eats: Red Pony . Franklin TN

Here's a snapshot of what you can find on the menu: collard green rockefeller, lobster and scallop, shrimp and grits, top notch creme brulee, Moscow mule (my favorite) and an array of other creative and fabulous options. I've got to say---it isn't often that you find an establishment that successfully fuses culinary artistry with contemporary flare without compromising quality...
