What Level Of Service Do Your Want?
We understand that some people desire more service, and others are just looking for the best price and nothing more.
For those simply looking for the rock-bottom prices, there are companies that work on sheer volume, and act merely as “booking services”, and in exchange you get rebates or lots of extra onboard credit. They do this by forfeiting a percentage of what that cruise lines pay them, and in exchange, which they may say they will offer you personal service, but the reality is that they are simply booking agents, and they work on volume, spending as little time as possible with you so they can move to the next person. If this is what you are looking for, we respect that and strongly advise you to use those services.
Others, however, are looking for more. Additional advice, a person that is always there to take care of your needs. planning, help with insurance, help with possible visa and documentation issues, shore excursion planning, and someone that will take care of all of the little things that come up. Full service. If this is what you are looking for, you will find no company with as much experience, nor a group of people that care about your travel as if it were there own the way we do.
Full Service
Our Full Service is truly full service. You will find that we are not going to take this lightly. We will want to get to know you, your needs, your desires. You will have one of us that will be with you throughout the process from the very beginning to well after you return from your cruise.
There is ZERO Added Service Fee – While many agencies charge a service fee for full service, we do not.
Easy Contact – Whatever you need, you will be able to text us, email us, call us.
Access to ALL Cruise Line Sales and more – Any price you ever find on a cruise line’s website is available directly through us, and we don’t charge a penny more, but we offer so much more in terms of service. Additionally, we can often get better pricing or some added perks they will not offer directly.
Planning – We will help you with insurance needs, help make sure you don’t get ripped off, and mech more. Flights? We are there. Do you want shore excursions? Do you want to plan time do go it on your own? However you do, we will be there to help you plan as much as you need. More importantly, when you are planning what you will do during your cruise, you have real experts that are true world travelers letting you know how to get the most out of it. We will never cause you to get that shore excursion that costs more than it should. Our goal is your vacation is the most it can be, and at the best value.
Price Protection – Most Cruise Lines allow us to offer you price protection, which is something you cannot get if you book directly with the cruise line. What this means is that if for any reason the cruise line offers a special sale that applies to your cruise and stateroom category that would cause the price to be lower, we can almost always get the cruise line to reduce your price to that of the sale as part of our full service offering. They will usually simply take it off of your final balance due, or when you are closer to sailing, they may offer the difference as an onboard credit.
Planning and Organizing Transfers – Often overlooked, how are you getting to and from the ship? It is common for many ports to be far from airports, especially in Europe. That cruise out of Rome or Venice may actually be an hour and a half from the city. It can involve a combination of rail and car travel. We will know and help you plan accordingly based on your preferences.
A Detailed Itinerary Website & App – We will provide you with a website and app for your smartphone or tablet that is a “living itinerary”. It will start out with the basic framework of your cruise and itinerary. Everything we do going forward will be reflected here in real time.
Finalizing Plans – Many shore excursions cannot be reserved too far in advance. Similarly, if any of your land travel includes rail travel, this needs to be reserved closer to your travel date. We will make sure all of this is in order, we will make sure all of your visas and other document requirements are in order and even help you with packing tips. All of this will also be reflected on the Itinerary app.
During Your Cruise – If you run into any issues with the cruise line, we are your advocates back home, and will work tirelessly to resolve them while you are sipping drinks on deck.
CDV Credit – We offer credit for every cruise toward and CDV-Operated vacation.
