Well said, Andi! Your agent thanks you!!🙂👍

Great article, Jan!  Even though I have taken 30+ cruises I would never think of booking without a good travel agent.  All of the points in your article are spot on, and unless you opt for a very high-end, exclusive travel agency, the cost to use an agent is $0!  So why not take advantage of their expertise and access?!  You can still maintain as much control over the details as you want....or....you can leave everything up to your agent if planning is not "your thing".   And CruiseCrazies even makes it easy - check out their recommended  Authorized Agents - I have!!

I can TOTALLY relate to the T-shirt regrets, Jan!  In fact, I just put a bunch of them in the Salvation Army pile, lol.

?  All that food - oh my gosh!!  Welcome Back, Danny - your video was amazing.  I enjoyed it so much that....I have no recourse except to book a cruise RIGHT NOW!!  Thank you!

Wonderful story, Marci, and so glad everything worked out so well! Our first cruise was to Alaska and boy did I have to do some talking to get my husband to agree! But it was for our 25th wedding anniversary so he acquiesed, swearing that he was going to wear a tank top over his sweatshirt (he would have much rather been somewhere warm.) By the time we got home he was asking when and where our next cruise would be. I said Hawaii and he said "why would we ever want to go to Hawaii?" OMG! Needless to say, 15 or so cruises later he has quit doubting me and eagerly awaits our next adventure. And I will eagerly await your next installment!

Fabulous! And very easy to relate to since we have felt all of those same emotions. The butterflies never go away, but it is from pure joy and excitement to be off on another cruise!
