Nov. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Oxford, New Jersey  – Cruising is one of the fastest growing methods of travel. Last month, local Cruise Planners agent Michael & Susan Tietjen got a first hand look at the latest trends in the industry at the Cruise Planners’ annual convention.

Hearing from representatives of all the major cruise lines, Michael and Susan joined over 300 Cruise Planners agents for four days of intensive training and cruise-specific orientation. Plus, expert advice from the tour industry, travel insurance and American Express Vacations.  

Keynote speakers included executives from Royal Caribbean International, followed by their sister company’s Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises.  Other key cruise lines participating at the meeting included Carnival Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises and NCL.

As an added perk, Michael and Susan sailed aboard Holland America Line’s ms Eurodam for two nights to Nassau and their private island – Half Moon Cay.  The experience was not only exciting, but also allowed Michael and Susan Tietjen first hand knowledge of the newest Holland ship.  

   “While other forms of travel have slowed, more and more people are taking cruises every year,” said Tietjen. “Many people think of cruises for honeymoons or only for couples, but we're finding many more families going also. It's become one of the best values in travel.”
