I received a call the other day from someone planning cruise.  We had a pleasant conversation.  We were both driving in rush hour traffic and it was a little hectic.  During our conversation I was asked “Why would I choose you to book a cruise instead of calling the cruise line myself”?   To me, using a travel agent is a no brainer.  Why would you stress out about researching and planning a cruise vacation, when I will gladly do that for you? 

Here are a few of the reasons that I gave to her.

1.  I am YOUR personnal travel agent.  You are able to reach me when you need me.  I treat your vacation as I would planning my own vacation. 

2.  I do the research for you.  We all have so much to do and never have time to stop and research a vacation and the details.  Save you time for the much needed vacation. 

3.  Travel Agents can give you the information that you may not know about cruising.  When to get the best prices, cruise lines that will best suit you and your family, the busiest times to avoid.

4.  Travel Agents have relationships with all the vendors that are needed to make your vacation great.  We wait on hold. 

5.  Travel Agents can advise what  to wear and what not to wear.

6.  Travel Agents are constantly researching destinations.  Can give you important information on your new favorite destination. 

7.  Advise what travel documents are needed for your destination.

8.  Agents advise what you should pack for your cruise.

9.  When planning cruises for my clients, I love to have a gift sent to their room for them. 

10.  This is no charge for my travel planning services.

11.  Take the stress of planning off of YOU. 

The next time your are thinking about planning that cruise vacation.  Give a travel agent a call.  Let us do the work and you keep thinking about that wonderful time you will have. 

I love planning cruise vacations and researching the destinations.  The feeling of helping someone to plan a cruise vacation as a surprise for someone they love is such a great feeling.  I get excited about clients going on their cruise. 

Happy Cruising!
