Camping,,,,,,,,and a travel agent????

Many people are surprised to discover that I love to camp!!!!!!! Yes, I love a nice 5 star hotel as much as the next guy, and I've stayed in many gorgeous hotels all over the world,,,,,,,but our family has a long camping history, and WE LOVE TO CAMP! Nothing beats nights spent by the campfire, sticky, smoky smelling smores, a walk to the camp store for an ice cream,  nights parked right next to the beach where the smell of salt and the sound of the ocean put you to sleep,,,,or a swim in an ice cold river.

NOTHING.

We haven't camped in many a year, however,,,,,,,,as the children got older there were dance classes and recitals, girlfriends and boyfriends, and many activities to keep them too busy to camp. AND tent camping is, frankly, just not good for my back.

Sooooooo,,we miss it :)  We miss everything about it. Yes, I have my choice of  hotels at Travel Agent discounts,,,,,,but frankly,,,,,,we'd rather camp!!

So my husband and I decided to look around for a decent used pop up camper. After several weeks, our luck was with us!!! Yesterday,  we literally RAN over to Kissimmee to check out a camper someone had promised us first dibs on if we wanted it. Boy were we glad we did!

SO, without further ado,,,,,,,,,here's our new pop up camper!

Thanks for looking, and I wish YOU a lovely nights sleep under the stars with the sound of a river, brook or ocean in your future!

Are Home Based Travel Agents SAFE to buy from?

I got this question the other day,,,,,,,,,and I had to stop and think of it from a potential client's point of view.

I've been in the Travel industry in one form or another for MANY years,,,,over 25 to be exact.

I've NEVER had an issue,,,,,,,,I've NEVER mis-used a customer's credit card.

But how do YOU know that?

So I really had to think about it.  With so much credit card fraud out there, I don't blame my clients for being a bit iffy. And if you choose to pay by check or cash, it can get worse.

So here's the scoop,,,,,,,,,,

ANYONE you give your credit card to could potentially steal it. If you give it to a hotel front desk clerk, she could steal it. I've seen this happen.

If you buy something online, someone could steal the number.

Yet people do this ALL the time. But when it comes to giving your credit card to a home based agent,,,,,,,,

people worry.

So for any potential customers out there,,,,,,,,,,,,,I want to alleviate your fears.

If you don't want to give ME your credit card number,,,,,,,,THAT'S OK.

There are many choices!

You can mail me a check (If there's time) made out to Cruise Brothers. Check them out. They are legitimate.They have an A+ rating with the BBB.

You can mail the check DIRECTLY to Cruise Brothers.

I do not take cash. That is to protect me,,AND YOU.

I can give you the number to Cruise Brothers, and you can call THEM directly with your credit card number, keeping me TOTALLY out of the loop for payment.

You can call the PROVIDER directly with your credit card number. OR we can call TOGETHER.

Frankly,,,,,,,,I really don't NEED to see your credit card number, if that makes you uncomfortable.

My job is to make sure payment HAPPENS. It's not necessarily to have that form of payment MYSELF.

The rest of my job,,,,,,,,,,booking your trip,  making sure all goes as planned, getting you any high volume discounts through Cruise Brothers that you may be entitled to, checking your documents,,,,,,,,,,all of that does NOT require me to ever VIEW your credit card or have the number.

When payment DOES happen, two things will occur.

1) You will receive an email from Cruise Brothers stating your payment.

2) You will receive an email from the Provider (Carnival Cruise Lines, Collette Vacations,,,,,,,,etc,,,,,the company that actually PROVIDES the vacation.) stating your payment has been made TO THEM.

I am more than happy to take your credit card number and make the payment for you, if that's more comfortable for you. I am fully insured as a legitimate agent for Cruise Brothers.

But if this makes you uncomfortable (and who could blame you these days),,,,,,I don't HAVE to.

I do hope this helped to alleviate some worry!

And if you choose another home based travel agent, PLEASE ask them one simple question.

"who is your host agency?"

THEN CHECK OUT THAT AGENCY!

My host agency is Cruise Brothers, a giant in the travel industry since 1972 with a BBB rating of A+, and I am ALWAYS willing to give you any information you need to feel comfortable!

How can I save MORE money on my cruise?

Also known as the ":Do I really need a window/outside cabin" question.

Many first time cruisers ask this question for good reason,,,,,,you can often save over 200 dollars per cabin (sometimes MUCH MORE) simply by forgoing a window,,,,,,,,and choosing an inside cabin.

The question is,,,,,,,do you NEED an outside cabin (one with a window to the outside).

the simple answer is NO, you don't,  Most of the time, you spend so little time IN your cabin, that it won't make a huge difference. Frankly, I never notice when I DON'T have one. Windows are often small, usually covered in salt, and do little more than let in some light. Unless you're choosing a stateroom with a balcony, which generally prices 2-3 times the cost, frankly,,,,,,,,,in my opinion, they are pretty useless.

and NOT having a window can save you HUGE amounts of money sometimes.

Let's compare here!

click that link and scroll down through the European cruise offerings,,,,,notice that in MOST cases, the outside cabin is at LEAST 300 dollars MORE than the inside,,,,,,and those rates are PER PERSON based on double occupancy,,,,,,,,,,,fancy words for saying your party of two saves at least SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS by taking an inside cabin.

On the April 29th sailing of the Vision of the Seas for the Northern 8 day cruise,,,,,,it's nearly FOUR HUNDRED dollars more PER PERSON for an outside cabin. If you chose to take an inside cabin on that sailing, you would have saved 800 dollars per state room by doing so. That's some pretty serious change you could spend on a lot of other things.

There are some people that I recommend always to have an outside cabin. People who usually buy suites or a cabin with a balcony are probably going to prefer at least a window cabin,,,,,,,,

and those who might feel terribly closed in without one to the point of having panic attacks are generally better off with a window.

But if those aren't you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,try an inside cabin. You probably won't even notice it,,,,,,,and you'll save quite a bit of money!

Hope that helped someone! Oh, and by the way,,,,,,,if you want to save 800 per cabin on that sailing,,it's April 29th, and I'd be happy to book it for you! Rates do not include taxes, govt fees or air fare.

Just call Holly at 813-704-4726 or email me at hollyyoung.cruisebrothers@gmail.com

How can I save money on my cruise??

I'll let you in on a little secret known well in the travel industry, but little know outside the industry,,,,,,,

you can book group space if you don't have a group!

How does that work?

If you're flexible in your vacation plans, simply ask me to check into any group pace Cruise Brothers might have available within the time period you are willing to travel, Say,,,,,,,September.

I'll check any group space we have already booked on September sailings and offer you a cabin on those sailings AT the group savings AND including any extras the group might be entitled to,,,,,like a 50 dollar on board credit per state room,,,,or a free bottle of wine. Groups are BIG on cruise lines, and they try very hard to please them! You could technically be part of a group,,,with all the advantages, yet still a single cabin..

So,,,,,,,,,,,ASK.

That's just one of the ways I'm always looking to save you money,,,,,,,,,even if you didn't know about it!

so Call me 813-704-4726 or email me at hollyyoung.cruisebrothers@gmail.com.

Why use a travel agent?

Looking Glass Vacations

Are you looking for a group cruise, vacation or package?

Want to save money, and possibly cruise for FREE? As the leader of a group, that's HIGHLY possible!

Our Planning Services are Great for Other Gatherings, too! How about an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean? A honeymoon in Bermuda? Spring break in Cancun?

Looking Glass Vacations, an independent contractor for Cruise Brothers, can arrange all of this for you!

Leave the details to me!  Why should you book with me?

First and most important, my services are FREE to you! That's right...FREE.  I get paid a commission by the cruise line. If you book directly with them, they KEEP that money. Don't make the mistake of thinking they pass it on to you. In fact, it's the opposite. I get paid AFTER your vacation or cruise. It's in my OWN best interest to make sure your trip GOES AS PLANNED. The cruise line or tour company gets paid the moment you make the final payment. What's their incentive?

Travel agents are not only free...they are a valuable resource. They have the training and experience it takes to make sure your vacation goes smoothly. I have over fourteen years in the travel industry and a college degree. As an independent agent for Cruise Brothers, I'm dedicated to ensuring that all details of your group excursion or family vacation are handled to precision. .

Travel agents can offer discounts the cruise line or tour company won't! We have that flexibility in many cases, that the tour operator or cruise line just doesn't have. Why? We want you to come back!

With one phone call to me, I can compare several different cruise line or vacation package options for you. Is Carnival going to tell you that NCL is cheaper?

And finally, professional, old fashioned, PERSONAL service is invaluable. It's something that isn't offered much anymore. You will ALAWAYS reach me, or I will call you back when you call my office. I call you when the final payment is due. I check for price decreases. request dining times, make sure your documents arrive on time, and contact you when the vacation is over to make sure it went smoothly.

And if something DOES go wrong (which is rare), I am on YOUR side. Your repeat business and word of mouth advertising is more valuable than ANYTHING I could ever pay for. I want you happy! And I'll fight to make sure you get what you paid for.
