Don't Trust Your Vacation to a Computer!

Posted 08/03/07

Recently, a list of travel terms was sent to me.  While they tickled my funny-bone, I couldn't help but wonder how many people lured by the promise of cheaper rates, booked a vacation without the assistance of a knowledgeable travel agent.  While these travel terms are just a joke, it is no joking matter to find that your dream vacation has turned into a nightmare because you didn't know what you were getting into when you booked online. 

Don't let this happen to you!  At Cruise Planners, professional vacation planning services are available to you at no extra charge.  In most instances, our knowledgeable staff can locate cruise or land-based vacations at or below internet pricing.  So go ahead and have a laugh at the travel terms below but book your next vacation with Cruise Planners and you'll be laughing all the way to the bank!
