Why it Pays for you to use a Travel Agent

Most people think Travel Agents are for people with big budgets who don't mind paying the big bucks for service. In fact, there are many instances the consumer does not pay more for our services. Now that is value! In most instances, we are paid directly from the cruise line, tour company or wholesaler. Travel Agents are for people who want service, quality, excellence and value. The following is just a short list of what we do for our clients that makes us stand out. 1. VIP Service for our Clients at Hotels- This means getting our clients breakfast daily, possible room upgrades, extra amenities, early check in/late check out, etc. 2. Group Rates on Cruises - Our agency takes out group space on many cruises giving extra value to anyone who books into that group. This means you can get reduced prices, shipboard credits, prepaid gratuities and all sorts of other value added amenities. 3. We Belong to a Consortia - We are part of the Signature Travel Network. Not only do we have the prestige of belonging to this elite group, it means we have relationships with hotels, tour companies, wholesalers and cruise lines. This helps us get better service, better rates, and an overall better experience for you the traveler. On many ocassions, Signature Travel Network provides a host for the sailing. The host is a knowledgable person that is on the cruise to help passengers with their itineraries, booking restaurant or spa appointments, recommendations for activities on and off the ship and hosts parties and activities. 4.
