When do you invest in health, car & homeowners insurance ? A travel vacation specialist ? It’s not meant to be a secret !




A “travel expert” as your go-between is meant for “before you buy” not after !  A travel expert is like having “insurance” before you need it !  And it usually cost you nothing !  Like buying a computer or camera from a company who provides unlimited “possibly needed” servicing/help !

With the Internet, so many folks today, think travel is meant for buying on your own.  The value of the “net” is so you’re not blind sided with valuable insight, not for moving forward & making your purchases online.

Unlike some products, where you might find a lower cost with shopping, this doesn’t necessarily hold true with purchasing travel !  You see a price on the “net” for airfare … Truly consider going directly to the airline site, and you usually find the same price !  Same with hotel … And if not the same price, call the hotel directly !  As far as cruises … Though cruise-only “distribution houses”, like Cruises Inc, may have lower rates, it’s always better to buy from your local agent, if you don’t know someone specifically at Cruises Inc.  Meaning, the EXPERTISE alone can be worth your wait in savings ! 

I get this response when folks call me who are in trouble, after purchase … “I didn’t know” !
Well, that’s my point !  It’s what you DON’T KNOW THAT CAN BITE YOU !

My simple questions to you are:

·         Do you have any travel questions ?

·         Do you know all the rules ? 

·         Do you read all the rules ?

·         Do you know which product is best for you ?

·         Do you have the expertise in getting yourself out of the box if need be ?

·         Do you believe you can go up against the “net company” when your product is not delivered ? 

·         Or the cruise line or the Tour Operator ?

·         Or when YOU have a personal issue ?

 
Truly sad, that these questions don’t come to folks mind, before they buy travel !
And may not even come to folks minds, when they buy a house or car ?!  Luckily for many, folks are forced to buy homeowners if they have a loan or your state makes you buy car insurance !  And today, more are forced to buy health insurance.  Wish folks were forced to buy “renters insurance” too !

Insurance is meant for your safety.  Just like having a travel expert/company by your side.  Whether it’s buying to protect the other person or YOU.   It’s the same with investing in a “go-between” with your travels.  Whether you are protecting you or maybe there’s a family situation out of your control !  The purpose in most all insurance, is for, “what is out of your control”.

Whether you are purchasing through me, Cruises Inc, or a local agency, it’s all for YOU !
Do you think all these agents would still be here, if there weren’t many folks who know their value ?
The cruise lines and tour operators want you to have that expertise insight “before” you arrive … Not to receive the “shock of what you didn’t know” after !

It’s not meant to be a secret that you don’t have to be traveling this road alone !

For the most part, such expertise, like buying a camera or computer, is FREE (the servicing after purchase).  After your travels, the cruise lines and tour operators “pay agents” for being there for you.  Did you hear those words ?  BEING THERE FOR YOU !

It’s true, they are being paid to guide you to that specific cruise line or tour operator, but for the most part, it’s about SOMEONE BEING BEHIND YOU … For the unknown … For the unexpected … Like insurance !  Guiding you to the right product is only a “minor part of it” !

Besides preaching about it … What can we, as experts of travel do, to help you in discover our value in being here for you … BEFORE ?  NOT AFTER ! Calling "After", it will cost you a bundle to hire an expert !  Or it can't be fixed at all !  Just like insurance, the price to pay after, is too late !

Please let us be here for you !  We're not in this business for OUR health ... We go thru "lots of stresses" to keep your money/vacation protected.  But that's our job ... We love it or we wouldn't be here ... For YOU !
