So, your thinking about
going on a cruise. Good. Now's a great time to go.
Looking for the latest news
about about what ships are really popular, searching for the
latest
deal?...who isn't.
Starting to browse the Internet, visit some 3rd party sites,
read the blogs for advice, do some social networking, or
just visiting your neighborhood travel agent?
When it comes to cruise news, there's a ton of it out there. Some
good, Some bad, some, not very accurate. Everyone these days
has to put their two-cents of an opinion, out there for
view.
What if, you could search for
the latest cruise news, plus find a good cruise deal at just one location without having to
scavenger hunt all over the Internet?
What if you could read
the latest news, and find detailed and comprehensive cruise reviews from professional
travel writers and your fellow cruise travelers? Oh,
not the sites that have tens of thousands or more articles
or reviews to read. You'll be there all night. As a matter
a fact several nights just to find what you want, then who
knows how long to filter out all the information and mis-information.
That's a daunting task you know you don't have time for.
So we put it all together for
you here, at the Cruise News Blog.

Cruise Direct Expresssm gives
cruise travelers immediate direct access to the
available inventory of 15 of the top cruise line
brands.
-- Travel Direct Corporation,
today announced a new online travel service that
pulls together the Internet's best cruise deals in
one place. The new service; Cruise Direct Expresssm gives
cruise travelers immediate direct access to the
available inventory of 15 of the top cruise line
brands.
Cruise Direct Express offers consumers a rich
selection of destinations, cruise lines, ships and
up-to-the-moment cabin inventory, plus the best
cruise line offered discount prices – including
hard-to-find internet specials – all in one place.
The service lets cruise travelers with a few clicks
purchase a cruise from brands they trust. With
Cruise Direct Express cruise travelers also have the
opportunity to receive valuable special offers, such
as cabin upgrades, and onboard spending credits.
With Cruise Direct Express cruise travelers
get the best priced cruises and most convenient
options by going straight to the source.
Cruise Direct Express has search technology
that can access all of the cruise inventory
available from up to 15 cruise brands, which
conventional search engines, crawlers and shopping
bots cannot. Because the cruise lines have made
their inventory available through their own sites,
Cruise Direct Express can access this information.
The technology is designed to search all of the
cruise lines databases for cabin inventory and
up-to-the moment pricing. And make them available in
real-time.
Cruise Direct Express Online benefits cruise
travelers:
Offering a huge selection of the Web's best cruise
deals. To find the best cruise price with the same
destination, itinerary and sailing date, cruise
travelers must flip from cruise line site to cruise
line site on their browsers, with Cruise Direct
Expresss' search technology consumers are offered an
alternative.
Cruise Direct Express smoothes and simplifies
the online vacation research.
What's the most annoying thing about doing vacation
research online? It has to be copying and pasting
all the information you need for note-taking from
multiple cruise line web sites.
Cruise Direct Express searches the sites'
databases of the cruise lines themselves – sites
like Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity,
Crystal, Regent, Holland America, Windstar, Disney,
Crystal, Oceania and Norwegian Cruise Line – for
their best cruise offers. Cruise travelers do not
have to jump from site to site to look for the best
cruise line bargain. Cruise Direct Express allows
users to see all the deals and to make informed
choices. Switching back and forth between cruise
line web sites can be a pain. With Cruise Direct
Express all the major brand cruise lines are all
together at one home port.
Gathering information is easier and faster.
Those with limited internet time will find Cruise
Direct Express especially useful for getting the
necessary travel information and signing off
quickly.
Easy to use interface enables comparison of
cruise ship itineraries, sailing dates, up-to-the
moment cabin availability and prices. The Cruise
Direct Express search engine allows cruise travelers
the option to troll through thousands of discounted
fares and special deals the cruise lines have on
offer, and they can tailor the search terms ( price,
cruise line, sailing date, duration, departure ports
and destinations ) according to their own personal
travel needs.
With Cruise Direct Express cruise travelers
can check prices of competing cruise lines to make
sure they always find the cruise line's best deals.
Consumers save money by comparison-shopping.
Cruise Direct Express brings cruise travelers
all the information they need to book a cruise from
the cruise brands they trust.
A Personal Cruise Travel Advisor is part of
every sale. When a cruise traveler books their
cruise online, a personal Cruise Travel Advisor is
assigned to their account: The Cruise Travel Advisor
offers fair and impartial advice. Cruise Direct
Express features all the major brand cruise lines -
but doesn't promote one particular cruise line over
another. Choosing the right cruise experience is the
number one priority.
The Cruise Travel Advisor;
1. Will review the proper immigration/passport/birth
certificate documentation necessary for their
cruise.
2. Arrange any special needs -- such as a
handicap-designed stateroom, or a special diet.
3. Inform cruise travelers of their dining choices
and arrange for any special occasions they might be
celebrating like a birthday or anniversary.
4. Will explain the importance of travel insurance
to cover the unexpected such as trip delays, missed
Cruise Direct Expressions and lost or delayed
baggage.
5. Will review General Information materials that
cover over 18 "Things to Know Before You Go".
6. Will point out their stateroom on the deck plan (
all deck plans are available online ).
7. Will Inform cruise travelers when final payment
is due and the deadline to request air deviations
and arrange pre-or-post cruise land packages.
8. Advise about tipping; packing; clothing; flights
and schedule options; shore excursions, etc.
