Why a Cruise Concierge is Your Best Bet
Hey, fellow wanderluster! Got some cruise vacation fantasies brewing up? Allow me to introduce you to your new travel BFF — a Cruise Concierge.
I’ll bet you’re wondering, why go the Concierge route? Why not just book directly with the cruise company or find the cheapest deal on some budget-friendly website, or even use a general travel agent? Glad you asked!
Option 1: Direct Booking With Cruise Companies
Direct booking seems pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? Point, click, pay, done. Oops, you just spent 30% more than you had to! And your cruise line-purchased flight is late, causing you to miss the ship! AAAND…you miss out on local flavor, personalized attention, and are crammed on a bus — not to mention annoying markup on excursions by cruise lines. Plus, the time it takes to research is bonkers — for many, 30 hours or more. Yikes! Of course, you can just go with the flow and pick things off the cuff. We suspect you wouldn’t be reading this if that described you.
Option 2: The “Cheapest Cruises” Website
For those penny pinchers among us, a budget-friendly website seems tempting. But hold up — their itineraries often lack flexibility and you miss out on all those unique experiences an expertly curated trip can offer. Watch out, too, for hidden terms and little service after the sale. It’s a lot like when you book on one of those cheap hotel sites and end up by the ice machine and the fire escape.
Option 3: “Books Anything” Travel Agent
Then there’s the jack-of-all-trades travel agent. They’re great, no doubt, but do they have the specialized knowledge to understand the intricate details of your cruise dreams? Probably not. It’s very easy to come across an agent who is little more than an order-taker (one clue is that they have a direct booking engine on their website). You deserve more. If you’re stuck with one of *those* let’s chat . . . but if you’re happy with your agent, please keep on using them!
