How Valuable Is Your Cruise Planners Agent
In the age of technology where you can find out information on-line quick and easy, you may be thinking or asking yourself, why should I use a travel agent? So to help you answer that question "Why Use a Certified Cruise Planners Travel Professional?" here are some reasons:
1. CUSTOMER ADVOCATE
When you book through a Cruise Planners Travel agent, the travel agent is your advocate. A travel agents works for his clients (you-the consumer), not for a travel supplier. It makes sense that a happy customer will be a repeat customer.
All you have to do is make one simple phone call to your agent and everything will be taken care of. Your agent has the potential to send these companies either hundreds of guests, or no guests at all. From a purely business perspective, a travel agency can send thousands of dollars (or even tens of thousands of dollars), or no dollars at all...
2. INDIVIDUAL PERSONALIZED SERVICE AND EXPERT GUIDANCE
You look to your travel agent to provide the best overall solution to your individual travel needs. By asking tons of questions up front, your agent can provide a relevant needs assessment. This can include dates, quality or location of accommodation or stateroom, cancellation policy, recreational amenities, the ease of doing business, etc. No two customers are alike. What works for one may not work for another. Your travel agent is your neighbor, not the impersonal voice thousand of miles away.
Your agent know what it takes to coordinate a great vacation that is the best value for you and knows what you want and what you value in your travel experience. Your agent is there to make sure you get where you want to go, when you want to go and for the best price. Your agent has an intimate knowledge of the destinations he sells and is able to select the most appropriate travel arrangements to meet his clients needs. He has a vested interest in making sure you have the best travel experience possible. You know the saying "you get what you pay for" so, do you want to spend a little more for great service or waste your valuable time and save booking the cheapest option?
3. SAVING MONEY
Saving money is not just about price. It is more about value. If the hotel was not the right location, if the cruise line was not the right cruise line, if the golf course was not the right golf course, it does not matter how much you saved. One can save a ton of money and be miserable or spend a little more to be in heaven. A travel agent can recommend relevant offerings and also provide cost saving strategies. Moving a date, changing the location of a room/cabin, being open to flight options, etc., all can save money. The best part, our travel agency does not charge you any additional fees for any of our services, all our services are FREE!
4. SAVE TIME
If you have an agent that you trust, then you don't need to spend what little free time you have, scouring the web, trying to piece everything together-- flights, cars, rooms, etc. In addition, your agent might be working with transfer and car rental companies that you simply don't have access to, and in many cases, even hotels and airlines that you don't have access to. An agent is someone who has taken the time and made the commitment to be the best so you don't have to make planning your vacation a second job! The best part, our travel agency does not charge you any additional fees for any of our services, all our services are FREE!
What would you do if the hotel has lost your reservation or the cruise line price has decreased from what you paid? What would you do if the car rental agency has run out of cars? Who are you going to to call to help you? Basically, you're on your own to deal with these issues, unless you booked with a travel agent.
