Use a Certified Trave Agent instead of Booking online Direct
Wendy Cushing - Your Personal Cruise and Tour Specialist
Certified in ALL of these Major Cruise Lines - Ask me anything!
As a Professional Certified Cruise Consultant I work hard to build a long-lasting relationship with my valued clients. I listen and learn your likes and dislikes in order to match your travel needs to your individual personality and budget. It is in my best interest to ensure you are a happy and satisfied client, and that you depart on your wonderful cruise or land vacation satisfied that we selected the best vacation for you and your party!
Free Services! Below is a list of some of the important services that I also provide at absolutely no cost to you:
- Up-to-date product knowledge. We are constantly updating our product knowledge through continuing education (product and destination seminars, tradeshows), professional relationships with cruise line district sales managers, and customer feedback.
- Unbiased information. We work for you and have your best interest in mind. We do not work for a specific cruise line or any other special interest company. We will check with all cruise lines on your behalf and look for the best price and itinerary for you.
- Most current and timely promotions.We receive faxes, emails and phone calls daily from cruise lines, hotels, car rentals, etc. We are able to analyze all this information and pass it on to our clients who are looking for specials or last minute discounts. Plus if you sign up on our website front page you can get weekly specials and offers that no one else will see, and you will get it faster, and more efficiently - NO more hunting around the internet to see who can beat who's price!
- Clarification of penalties, restrictions, and pricing information. We understand the rules and policies of the industry. We can help you sort out different price structures and make sure you get the best value for your money with no hidden fees!
- Research and the booking process. We are your personal shopper! We provide one-stop shopping for travelers who require cruises, all inclusive resorts, air, and hotel reservations – with suggestions that are in your best interest, not the suppliers'.
- Personal attention. As professional cruise consultants, we will share our experience and knowledge that we have accumulated through years of personal travel, and training about a variety of topics! We can advise you on where to eat, where to shop and what to pack. We will get to know you by asking questions and understanding your needs. We are not telemarketers trying to get you to buy a product or service in a hurry so we can get to the next person on the phone. You are our valued client, not a quota.
- Should things go wrong – You’re Personal Advocate. We are your advocate in the event something inadvertently goes wrong. If you book online or direct with the cruise line you will never speak to the same person who knows you and your situation. Don't you hate to have to repeat your situation again and again? We already know you and we will be there when you need us most.
- Time is money and our services are free. Calling the cruise line direct is not going to give you a better price. You will get the same price as we typically offer without the service! Honest! With one phone call you can call us and we will do the work for you to free up your valuable time for other important projects. Plus we have group rates on hundreds of sailings that you will not be able to get if you call the cruise line directly -ALL of our groups have special amenities added onto them - so if you are one person or a hundred we can fit you into a group!
We use so many outside services for other important matters like lawyers, insurance agents, realtors, bankers, or even car dealers. We don't question their value to us. Think about it! If you are going to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars and your time on a well-deserved vacation, doesn't it make sense to use a professional? A cruise vacation planned without a professional cruise consultant can be an expensive mistake! We will walk you through the entire process, answer all your questions, and get the best value for your hard-earned money. THAT’S OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU……
