Are you an experienced traveler like we are and think you don’t need help? You might think hiring a travel advisor is for those inexperienced travelers. Well, please think again. Something as simple as selecting a cruise can seem overwhelming with the array of choices. There are so many cruise lines, ship types, port options, styles, room categories, and the list goes on and on. Before we were in this industry, we used a travel expert to help us plan a couple of our own cruises. We were able to experience a maiden voyage on a new ship in Northern Europe and secure a cabin upgrade that otherwise we wouldn’t have known how to do. Cruising is a huge industry.
