Question:
Hi Everyone, I received this press release from Holland America and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news’ postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com HOLLAND AMERICA’S NEW THEGREENHOUSE SPA AND SALON HIGHLIGHTS EXOTIC TREATMENTS, FLEXIBLE FITNESS PROGRAMS Popular Extension of Landside Spa Brand to be Hallmark of Line’s new Vista Series Seattle, February 24, 2003 Guests sailing aboard Holland America Line’s new Vista-class ships can add a new stop to their itinerary – TheGreenhouse Spa and Salon. The largest spa facility in Holland America’s fleet and one of the largest spas at sea offers a wide range of exotic health and beauty treatments and a plethora of exercise classes appropriate for almost any age and fitness level including step, water aerobics, and body sculpting. TheGreenhouse Spa also offers programs that introduce guests to cycling, Pilates or yoga for a small surcharge. TheGreenhouse Spa and Salon, a hallmark feature in the line’s Vista-class ships including the ms Zuiderdam and the under-construction ms Oosterdam, is the seagoing version of a popular landside spa brand. "Our guests can look forward to indulging in an unhurried, tranquil spa experience," said David A. Giersdorf, vice president of marketing and sales for Holland America Line. "TheGreenhouse Spa perfectly complements the unparalleled service and amenities found aboard Holland America’s Vista-class ships." The most prominent feature in TheGreenhouse Spa is the glass-enclosed, 18-by-22-foot hydrotherapy pool which uses heated seawater and strategically placed high power jets to alleviate sore joints and muscles. Another sanctuary is a state-of-the art, unisex thermal suite that offers a series of heat-therapy chambers including a Laconium (gentle sauna), a Hamman (mild steam), a Chamomile Grotto and multiple relaxation loungers. Zuiderdam’s TheGreenhouse Spa and Salon features an array of new amenities and a staff of 23 – twice the complement of most shipboard spas. Holland America also has increased the number of treatment rooms, allowing more space for new treatments such as soothing sensory dry floats and aroma stone therapy, which uses heated volcanic basalt stones with warm spicy oils. TheGreenhouse Fitness Program provides fitness equipment including treadmills, stair-step machines, stationary bikes, free weights and Cybex weight machines. Traditional health and exercise classes include step classes, aerobics, resistance training in the pool, toning classes and more. The spa’s specialized classes give guests an intense workout in New Body Cycling; realign the body and relax the mind in New Body Yoga; and improve their posture and gain core strength in the New Body Pilates class. Classes cost as little as $11 and spaces can be reserved.

SLEAZE Alert Edgar/Ray modified this Press Release Here is a link to the unaltered release http://www.hollandamerica.com/aboutus/news/press/3corp027.htm He changed the post only to mislead readers, not to add any value. He wanted you to believe that Holland America released a statement saying that one could only obtain information about HAL from a Travel Professional when in fact this is not what they said at all. Edgar/Ray’s tactic of altering a Press Release to intentionally deceive readers of what the original author intended is not only unethical it is down right sleazy. He continually uses these deceptive practices solely to advertise the Travel Agency that he runs it out of his duplex in Carpinteria (his website says Santa Barbara, but that is another lie). If this guy lies about Press Releases, lies about his address and even lies about his name, how could you trust him with your money? Sincerely THE SLEAZE POLICE
