Information Overload

Do you ever get overwhelmed and confused when planning your vacation?  Cruise Lines and Resorts have made booking travel so easy and accessible these days, however they've also overloaded us with too much information, but we don't always have the knowledge to process it all.

With just the click of the mouse, you can book your next cruise, choose your stateroom, or put yourself in an all-inclusive Caribbean resort for a week.  But how do you know if you've made the right decision?  Did you choose the right cruise line or ship for your family's needs?   There are hundreds of different "categories" within each cruise line, ship and resort.  Do you know enough about each one to make right decision?  Are the restaurants at the resort going to live up to your expectations?  Is the picture on the website what you should expect when you arrive to your destination?

And then there's more.... Which cruise lines have the best shows?  Which port has more activities, Barbados or St. Lucia?  I know the resort has 8 restaurants, but should I book my dinner reservations and excursions before I arrive?  I see 30 options for excursions on my trip, but are there alternative excursions that the cruise line or resort doesn't offer, possibly at a lower cost?

Over the last 8 years, I have made it my job to learn as much about as many destinations, resorts and cruise lines as possible, and yet, still everyday I learn something new.  The travel world is constantly changing.  New ships come into the fleet every year, and resorts are being built and/or renovated year round.  Not only do I study about and take courses about the ins and outs of travel, but I also am able to provide my clients with first hand information by visiting different resorts, ships and destinations.

Why would you trouble yourself with all the details when there is someone who can take care of them for you, at no cost to you.  A travel consultant can take care of everything from the transportation, to the lodging, to booking dinner reservations, excursions and other special events.  All you have to do is pack and show up for your vacation. It's that easy!   And, just in case you do need assistance while on your trip, you always have a real live person to call.

I love my job, and I love helping others to see this big world that we live in!!!
