Why pay a cruise consultant a professional fee?
Have you ever experienced a vacation that was a total nightmare? Did you book it yourself? Did you use an online only agency?
I will be frank with you, I love the internet. I use it every day, several hours a day. I research vacation experiences for my clients. I participate in online webinars. I take online continuing education courses offered by suppliers and destinations. I live breathe and sleep cruising.
I feel if you had a bad experience on your last vacation you probably decided or were recommended to take a cruise that didn’t match your wants or needs. There are cruises and then there are cruises that extend far and above your wildest dreams. There is “luck” and there is carefully implemented research and planning. Each of these choices come free…and each one comes with a fee.
Think of a professional consultation fee as an insurance policy on the thousands of dollars you are spending on your vacation. You should begin to smile at once as you have just been given the sign that your vacation is about to take on a special aura. Something will happen that wouldn’t have without retaining the services of a professional instead of serving only as a middleman between a client and a bad experience. You do get what you pay for. Remember, when you pay someone a consultation fee, they work for you, they do not work for nor count on a supplier for their income.
Through our knowledge and experience we can give you advice on the cruise experience that you not only want, but on one you need. Our service starts from the first discussions with you about your vacation choice. We look at your past vacations, the types of hotels you have stayed in, your hobbies, your food likes and dislikes to help us make a recommendation. You are not paying us for our opinion but our advice.
Think of it this way, you can do your taxes yourself and end up serving in a Cabinet position or you can utilize the services of a professional cruise consultant and not have a nightmare cruise experience.
Give us a call when you are ready to talk cruise. If you are not ready now, send us an email and we will send you our FREE cruise planning guide and 151-point packing list.
