Benice Parkinson
Senior Consultant | CLIA Master
I just love cruising, especially with my family. My specialty is planning the ultimate family holidays, helping create those magical moments together as a family. Not only do I book cruises but also am a Club Med specialist, so I can offer different types of holidays. I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years, and even after all this time I get excited planning my clients dream holidays and eagerly await their arrival home to hear all about it.
What is your favourite cruise destination you visited & why?
Mystery Island - so many hidden spots and great snorkelling.
What is your favourite cruise ship & why?
Carnival Vista - I love the size and space you feel like you are on their on your own.
Favourite cruise tip you give your clients
Pre-book as much as you can if you are on the bigger ships, less lining up when on board.
