CruiseCompete Celebrates 8th Anniversary, 8.5 Million Consumer Quotes
The Top 5 Reasons a CruiseCompete Specialist is Your Best Travel Resource
DETROIT (Sept. 15, 2011) – CruiseCompete, praised by both consumers and travel industry experts for its revolutionary free-market competition principle, today celebrates its 8th anniversary. The company, which operates on the premise that the consumer benefits from a comparison of cruise pricing and amenities, has now provided 8.5 million quotes in response to over 2 million consumer requests.
“We are very pleased with the response from consumers,” says CruiseCompete CEO Bob Levinstein. “It’s really a testament to our fantastic cruise specialists and the valuable role they play in finding our customers the best deals on the cruises that suit their particular needs.”
Following are the Top 5 reasons (there are too many to name) to use a CruiseCompete Cruise Specialist when booking your next cruise:
1. CruiseCompete agents are real, reachable people, who are there in case of crisis. In the event of a natural disaster that complicates travel, like last year’s volcanic eruptions, a CruiseCompete agent is invaluable in providing alternate travel arrangements. The same is true if you fall ill during a trip, lose documentation, or experience travel delays— they are at the ready to provide the solution to any travel problems that arise.
2. CruiseCompete agents save you time, stress and money. Cruise buyers receive an average of 5 quotes per request. Forget the headache of visiting a dozen different sites to compare pricing and packages—the CruiseCompete specialists do your comparison shopping for you, with the benefits of their insider knowledge and pricing advantages. Use the time and effort you save to do other important things, like wardrobe shopping, working on your tan or dreaming about your upcoming trip instead!
3. CruiseCompete agents are trained “information specialists” – they are constantly taking classes, communicating within the industry to prepare themselves for a wide variety of trip requests. They receive a continual flow of information through daily calls, faxes, and email that allow them to provide consumers with the best options and price quotes for any given request. They can also provide information on which ships and lines are the best bet for any type of traveler, depending on their needs and desires.
4. CruiseCompete agents know which ships and destinations are geared to be kid-friendly, and which are not. If you’re looking for a cruise vacation that suits a family with children, CruiseCompete agents can recommend the lines with the best children’s programs and amenities. They can also offer information about kid-friendly ports and shore excursions, so that your family gets the most out of your cruise experience. Interested in lines geared more specifically to adults? They also have information on which lines are more likely to provide you with “kid-free” zones (some lines have a minimum sailing age of 12 for this very reason).
5. CruiseCompete agents can recommend once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Are you an adrenaline junkie? They can help you find places to zip line, bungee jump or ride 4-wheelers up a mountain. Want the best in luxury? A CruiseCompete specialist can give you information about things like exclusive cabanas, private islands and butler service available on the various cruise lines.
