I Love My Clients!
It's too bad there are so many travel agencies out there that use high-pressure tactics or sell out their contacts. A potential happy cruiser requested a quote on one of the specials on our website, but left us no way to contact him/her -- I'm guessing because of a previous bad experience with one of those "website agencies."
It's a shame, because it was so exciting to see all the great benefits they could receive if they booked with us:
Group Pricing ($50 less than internet rate)
Reduced Deposit
Coupon Book to use for discounts on board the ship
$50 Per Person Shipboard Credit
Extra Cruise Planners Gift -- really nice passport travel case
Extra Agent Gift -- fancy signature luggage tags
A Friendly Neighborhood Agent to watch over his/her booking, possibly get an ugrade, reduce his/her rate if the price were to go down later, help with air research and reservation at no charge, give expert advice on shore excursions and ports-of-call and shipboard activities, help with packing tips and airline luggage rules, hand deliver and go over cruise line documents, assist with pre-cruise online check-in, coordinate transfers if needed, handle any special requests-medical needs-any additional required paperwork -- um, that may be all, but you never know, something else could come up and we might need to help with it!
We here at our independent Cruise Planners office, and at the franchise headquarters, will NEVER sell or give someone's contact information to anybody else: ever. period.
We are dedicated to service and ensuring a smooth sailing travel experience, so we will follow up, but only on a reasonable basis. Further contact is up to the potential happy cruiser -- he/she can choose to "opt-in" for more information or to receive notices of specials -- or not.
So go ahead -- get the information you need, and all the benefits that are out there for you by allowing us to tell you about them. There is no obligation, and you have nothing to lose by accepting our courtesy call or e-mail response. We have many satisfied, repeat happy cruisers, and will be happy to provide references. Thank you -- Janet McLaren, Independent Franchise Owner, and Brandon McLaren, Associate Cruise Specialist.
We hope to hear from you soon, and help make you a happy cruiser, too.
