What is your favourite cruise destination you visited & why?
Alaska - Incredible scenery around every turn. Never ending wildlife spotting of whales and bears. Waking up in the morning to set on your balcony having breakfast while you watch a glacier carve in front of you is a memory that makes the destination so special.
What is your favourite cruise ship & why?
Azamara Quest- Being able to experience a small ship allowed us to cruise through tight rivers right into the centre of Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City giving us direct access to the cities skipping the bus transfers from the larger ports. The ships had a lovely atmosphere and amazing service and cuisine. Longer stays and over nights meant you can take in more of the destination.
Favourite cruise tip you give your clients
Take the time at the start of the cruise to find your favourite bar as once you find that spot on the ship with the perfect waiter it can make such a difference to your cruise experience and create lasting memories.
