Cruise West referrals

I recently suggested a new client go to the Cruise West consumer webnair to re-confirm all the wonderful things I said about Cruise West. The client then forwarded me an e mail from an out of state internet agent who received her information from Cruise West. Needless to say, due to REBATING, and higher commission levels I lost the booking to this agency. I cannot believe that Cruise West sent an Illinois consumer to a North Carolina agent. I am a small ship partner, preferred agency partner and… Continue

All-Inclusive Family Caribbean Vac

Hi everyone, We have a client looking for a family vacation to the Caribbean, but not Jamaica. They would like an all-inclusive resort and a 2 bedroom accomodation. I'm finding few two bedrooms as it is but the most difficult task is meeting their budget of $7-$8K, even if we have to go to 2 rooms. There are 4 adults and 2 school age children. Does anyone have a recommendation. I've tried every search I know of. Thank you so much for your input. Madelyn at Barefoot On The Beach Vacations

the "Real" Blog

Hi,

to see my "real" travel blog go to http://www.hackamoretravel.com/

the commercial stuff you don't have much use for (you can do the same stuff) but feel free to link to the tutorial stuff... like how to call back home from Europe (it confounds most people and people don't realize they've been doing most of it for years with 1+ dialing).
