There are people out there that feel the need to keep shopping around for the best prices, or think that if they book their cruise themselves, they'll save money. That can take up so much of your valuable time, it can be very confusing, and do you really know exactly what you're booking, how much you're actually paying, or who you are booking with. Are the port charges and government taxes/fees included in the rates you see, or are you going to be surprised, when they add them later, and suddenly, that incredible price you thought you were paying, is now hundreds of dollars more? Do you realize that when you book online, you sign away your rights, releasing the online company from any responsibility or liability, should either of you make a mistake?
Our clients have found that once they have contacted us, they will not need to shop around anymore. They have the security of knowing that we are getting them the best rates available! We will even lower the price if a lower price promotion becomes available after their cruise is booked! We will be with you from beginning to end, offering you accurate, professional information and service. We treat your vacation as if it were our own! We believe that if our clients are happy, they will keep coming back and will refer other clients to us!
