You might be aware of this already, but have you ever really stopped to think about it?
About just how convenient and comfortable is cruising!
You arrive on board, everything is ready for you. You unpack your bags, set up shop in your cabin, and make yourself at home.
You can go out and have adventures, excursions, shore trips, all kinds of on board activities, go out for dinner, go see a show and come back to your own bed each night.
No need to figure out transport, taxis, trains, checking in to yet another hotel every other day, where to eat, how much things cost, exchange rates for different currencies, and on and on.
Forgot something in your cabin? Worst case, you'll be back "home" in a few hours, instead of wondering how to get that thing shipped to you from the hotel you stayed at last night that is now hundreds of miles away.
I could go on, but it kind of sells itself. And here to explain how to go about choosing and booking a cruise is my friend Karen Berger, an expert with decades of experience in doing this very thing. She's travelled to every continent, over 40 countries, virtually every cruise line and that's the kind of expertise you can't get with ChatGPT, no matter what it tells you!
Karen thus represents the perhaps hidden or forgotten side of travel agents: the peace of mind.
If you're in a jam, facing a plethora of options, not sure where to go or how things work, your travel agent has your back, and what's crazy is the cost usually turns out about the same! With their access to various discounts or extra included services, that alone makes them worth it, but the safety and support really seals the deal.
