• The Internet is not an expert! Yes, it is loaded with information, yes, it is available 24/7, and, yes, it will respond to almost every question it is asked…but can it give expert advice? No, it just gives choices, some good, some bad, and some so off base as to be ridiculous. Our training, our travel experiences, our exchange of information with others in the industry…these are what give us the ability to speak with authority about destinations, products, companies and experiences.
• Ships I have personally sailed on as a requirement for my CLIA Certification as a Cruise Counsellor: Carnival Miracle (May 17 to 25, 2008 Eastern Caribbean, Norwegian Gem (12/18 to 12/20 2007 Cruise to Nowhere), and Norwegian Dawn (9/21 to 9/28, 2008 Canada and New England).
• You must ask me if I have a CLIA Accredited Cruise Counsellor certification to know if there is a fit working with a Certified Cruise Counsellor? None every travel agents have these certification CLIA required every agent to have cruise experience for the last 2 years in order to be certified.
• Ships I have personally inspected: Carnival Liberty, Explorer of the Seas, Prinsendam, Amsterdam, Noordam, Crown Princess, Carnival Victory, Carnival Imagination, Carnival Triumph, Enchantment of the Seas. 
• The lies many average agencies out there are scamming the public about who owns the cabins would have the cruise lines sued them for defamation: 
• These high-volume agencies purchase cabins in bulk and often have better deals to offer on sailings, unless they have blocked group space on selected sailings (not every sailings the agency have on the ship are all group space) vs. retail agents or the cruise lines themselves. The cruise lines own the ship, the cabin inventory, and their products. The cruise lines control the pricing, not the average agencies around in order to maximize their business in getting full ship.

• Do your homework and get all the details first hand, or just call us because we give you true price. Selecting a Certified Cruise Counsellor based on price is a very dangerous way to select a with whom to do business. You need to find someone you trust, and tell the Certified Cruise Counsellor exactly what you want to get the best values afloat. I am here to help you find the best values because that will make you the happiest but if you all want a low price…well then you deserve what you get. As the saying goes, “The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price fades away.”
• Quick Quote Instruction: Full first and last name required along with the home phone number as well. We have the right to refuse to respond any quick quotes without complete information as requested without full first and last name and home phone number.
