We can give you all the best information and advice before your trip even starts. We also make sure you receive special VIP treatment and incredible advocacy without having to pay a nickel more than you would if you book your cruise on your own. We’ll do all the work, and you are bound to love the way we treat our cruisers!
Going online to book an airline ticket or hotel stay is a familiar and fairly easy transaction. When you book a cruise, however — particularly your first cruise — you may want to reconsider the impulse to handle the transaction yourself through a cruise line website or an online advertiser with cheap prices. This DIY approach may not be the best way to find your dream vacation at sea.
In reality, it’s not that simple to book a cruise. You will likely run into a lot of questions to which you have no ready answer.
That’s where specialized cruise travel agents come into play. Our expertise can help you avoid mistakes, whether you are a first-timer or a repeat cruiser checking out a brand you have not tried before.
Plus, the price of your cruise includes accommodations, meals, entertainment, and activities – and in some cases drinks, tips and shore excursions, Wi-Fi, and other extras. There’s a lot bundled into some fares and not as much with others. A travel agent can help you determine what your cruise fare gets you. The cheapest base cruise fare does not always provide the best value or the best overall vacation deal.
You aren’t just booking general passage on a ship, either, as you will be asked to pick a specific cabin and when you prefer to dine. Making a mistake in these categories can ruin your cruise experience, as there are such things as “bad” cabins and dining times (think noisy or claustrophobic cabins, dinner at 8 p.m. with cranky children, etc.).
The moral of the story? Using a cruise expert like Gökotta ensures smooth sailing!
