Why Using a Trusted Travel Agent Matters More Than Ever

Did you know that when you Google "Royal Caribbean," one of the top sites to pop up is a scam site and NOT the real Royal Caribbean? Passengers who call this company have their credit cards charged AND no cruise booked! 😱

In a world where one-click bookings and flashy online "deals" are everywhere, it's easier than ever to fall victim to travel fraud. From fake vacation rentals to scam travel websites, travelers lose millions of dollars yearly to fraudulent schemes.

This is where a trusted travel agent comes in.

Working with a reputable travel professional doesn’t just take the stress out of planning—it adds a layer of protection to your investment. What does a trusted travel agent do?

✅ Verifies vendors and bookings to ensure legitimacy

✅ Has direct access to industry partners and exclusive offers not always available to the public

✅ Advocates for you if something goes wrong before or during your trip

✅ Helps you understand cancellation policies and refund options clearly

When you book on your own, you're on your own. But when you book with a trusted travel agent, you have someone in your corner, helping to ensure every detail is accurate, every dollar is secure, and every moment of your vacation is protected.

I don't talk about this much, but there was the Mother's Day I gave up to help clients find appropriate flights to catch up to the Alaska cruise tour when they were diverted, delayed, delayed again, and then had to take a 3-hour taxi! Or the time clients flights from Chicago were so delayed they missed their connection to Lima, Peru, and the first night of their dream vacation to Machu Picchu and the Amazon. In both cases, our suppliers were able to get these folks rerouted, hotels, transfers, etc to salvage their trips. While the client slept or was on a flight, our suppliers and I were working to make things right!

Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or a dream vacation, don't risk it—plan it with someone you trust. If that's not me, that's fine. Find another travel advisor you love and trust! 💕💕

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Just a reminder that today (and every day!) Princess Cruise Line supports military members by providing an onboard credit just to thank you for your service.

What does that mean for you? You'll receive this amount based on the length of your cruise:
💲6 days or less: $50
💲7-13 days: $100
💲15 days or longer: $250

Have more than one person who served in the military on the same reservation? That amount is for up to two people who qualify. I love this for dual military or parent/adult child who both have military backgrounds!

It's so easy to apply, too. Once you're booked, it's a quick verification of your military status, and it'll be on your onboard account.

Who qualifies? Active duty, retired military, and disabled military veterans! 🇺🇸

This is NOT a special for the 4th of July! This is available all year. It's just a nice day to remind our military clients that Princess Cruise Line values your service. 💕 [email protected]



Fine Print: This program is available to active military, retired military and disabled military veterans with proper identification in the following service divisions: United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard or Reserves or the Canadian National Defense Forces.
