Flights get exactly what you want

Greeting Cruisers

WOW, we are already well into January and you are all booking cruises like crazy, that is great news:)

So, I would like to talk about fly cruises this time, yep we all know it’s a right pain, but there are ways of making it just a little easier and smoother for you. So let me begin……………………………….First thing I will say is try not to book your cruise with flights that are offered through the cruise line, yes they will offer you the transfers included and protect you if there is ever a delay and they will hold up the ship for you, that’s all well and good but too be fair nowadays flight delays are quite uncommon and I can’t even remember a time when any of my customers have had the pleasure of being cheered as they walk up the gangway, obviously because everyone else is already on board and the captain has made an announcement of some delayed passengers. Anyways where was I, oh that’s right, flights booked through the cruise line as an all inclusive package. Well did you know that when you agree to this the cruise line can book you any flight they care to, even if it means countless connections. The cruise line are only obligated to get you to their cruise ship on time, so obviously they are going to book the cheapest option. Even once the flights are organised and you have the flight times, these can change at any time. Does not sound so good now does it? Yes they will offer you the transfers but would you really want to fly from London to Venice with a connection in Paris for example? No I would not either. So if you are looking for a fly cruise make sure you let the agent exactly what you want, direct flight, certain airline etc, they will find this for you including transfers and all this will probably end up cheaper anyways. Remember we are experts, we know what to look out for, what you as a consumer expect and will get you exactly what you want.

So before you decide on a fly cruise, have a think, would it really be beneficial for me to book the flights through the cruise line and take pot luck or would it be better for my cruise agent to put it all together for me, knowing that I will be getting what I really want.

Good Luck and happy cruising.
