The use of cruise planners to ensure an awesome vacation is growing more popular as savvy cruise enthusiast realize they save money, and learn much more about their vacation options when they use an expert.
Why are families turning back to using the concierge service offered by certified cruise consultants like me?
They are learning:
Cruise consultants work for you and are paid by the cruise line at no additional cost to the client. By paying the consultant a commission, the cruise line enjoys thousands of agents. You will pay the same for your cruise whether you book direct or take advantage of the free concierge services the consultant provides.
Cruise consultants are working with all the cruise lines, all the time. Armed with current sales, promotions and the understanding of your preferences, hopes and dreams, we are able to tailor options and ensure your dream vacation is properly planned.
Cruise Consultants have access to special group rates on thousands of sailings each year that are not advertised to the general public. These group rates are usually offered with extra on board credits not offered by the cruise lines.
Cruise consultants are cruise vacation enthusiasts, we have probably been to the ports you are considering and can give detailed information on the locale, the shopping and excursions that are available. In many instances, we have completed the cruise line agent training that familiarize us with the ships, the venues, the shows and the ports!
When booking directly with the cruise line over the phone, you are being booked by a sales representative that is trained on that particular cruise line and since they are trying to sell you a cruise on their cruise line, they cannot offer an unbiased opinion regarding your options. You will end up calling each cruise line yourself.
