Getting set for 2012

As you are all probably aware next week see the launches of both Cunard and P&O’s 2012 /2013 sailings.
This is always a very exciting time in the office and many of my guests have already Pre registered!

So what is pre registering and why do it?

Well you should have received brochures from us recently with all the new cruise itineraries and prices listed. They also show what extras the cruise line are offering as incentive for you booking early e.g free car parking and obc and free child places.
The main reasons people Pre register are once the cruises go on sale the prices will immediately start to fluctuate as the cruise line work on fluid pricing so if a sailing is filling up quickly well then the prices will start to go up and “child free places” are always limited.
For example from previous experience I know that all of the seven ships taking part in P&O’s 175th Anniversary sailings are going to increase in price straight away.

This is a huge event where the whole fleet will set sail from Southampton at the same time.
This is an historic event for P&O and has created massive interest.
The reason many of my guests pre register with me year on year is they know that by doing so they have the best chance of getting exactly what they want at the best price.

I don’t know if any of you have ever tried to contact a cruise line on launch day but if you have you will know it is virtually impossible.

Pre registering your cruise makes booking hassle free as you can phone me any time before the sail date and we can go through exactly what you want then the morning it goes on sale I’ll be in the office waiting for the clock to turn 08.00 so I can confirm your holiday for you. All you need to do is relax and wait for me to call with your confirmation.

You will see from comments previously left on my blog that on previous launches my passengers have always been happy with my service
