Tips on Thursday - Myths & Misconceptions: One and the Same?

What do the “Abominable Snowman”, the “Loch Ness Monster” and “Booking Cruises Directly with the Cruise Line is Cheaper” all have in common?  Answer: They are all myths.  While we may not be experts on the first two subjects, at Cruise Planners we can certainly shed some light about direct booking myths.

First of all, let’s face it, a sales representative at a cruise line gets paid to sell only their company whether it’s the right product for you or not.  They will never recommend the competition. That should be enough right there to make you stop and think. But wait, there’s more!  Special prices?  At Cruise Planners we see the same rates on the computer as the cruise line sales representative. But more importantly, in addition, we have access to unique rates such as exclusive group fares, regional specials, and other special rate programs.

The most important part of planning a cruise is not simply getting the lowest price. The real goal should be to get the right cruise for your personal needs at the best price available.  At Cruise Planners there is no charge for our basic services as we are compensated by the cruise lines for providing personal service to you.  It’s the best deal in town. So, even though we can’t help with sightings of the Snowman or Lochie we can plan the cruise vacation of lifetime for you.
