Selecting the Right New York Travel Agent Specializing In Cruises Important In Time-Starved World

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 03, 2008 – Having spent many years in the cruise industry, I've had the good fortune of seeing our industry evolve and grow to a degree that has probably exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic visionaries of a few decades ago. But amidst the many changes, there has been one constant: the vital role that travel agents play in our business.

Much like a realtor provides in-depth knowledge and guidance in helping individual home buyers find the ideal residence, a travel agent has the keen ability to work with our guests to evaluate their vacation preferences and identify the cruise best suited to them.

Based on a quick review of your individual needs and preferences for a cruise vacation, a travel agent can provide invaluable insight on everything from shipboard cuisine, to special services, to the most enticing destinations, and can offer a wealth of useful pre-cruise tips to make your vacation the carefree experience it should be.

A travel agent also can assist you in evaluating the value of various vacation options, by weighing a number of factors, beyond just price. But perhaps most importantly, you'll have the advice of a professional whose career is focused upon ensuring that the vacation you select is the best fit with the way you want to spend your rare leisure time. If you choose to reserve your cruise vacation through a travel agent, you also can rest assured that you will never pay more than you would if you made your reservation in any other manner.

The Accredited Cruise Counsellor designation is conferred by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) upon dedicated travel professionals who have completed an extensive program of classroom training, cruise experience, ship inspections, and a combination of video training and attendance at industry events.

A CLIA certified cruise counsellor is your best resource in choosing a perfect vacation.
