Promote! Like a Norwegian

So I will have to search for those missing posts.  They are lost out there somewhere on the internet!!

In the meantime I wanted to say a few words about Norwegian Cruise Line.  About 6 months ago I was in an agent webinar with NCL when they announced they were going to begin a program for travel agents.  They didn't give many details but said that it would be well worth it.

At the next month's webinar they revealed some of the features of this program.  Over the course of the last 5-6 months they have been truly supportive of travel professionals.  The programs and incentives are great, they make a full force effort to engage the agents. 

Here si what this tells me: they realize that more people book cruises with agents than without.  They realize that if they can get the agents onboard, both metaphorically and in reality, it will help spread the word about their ships and experiences.

I have only sailed on the Norwegian Sky, a quick 3-night Bahamas run. I have toured a nuber of their ships- Dawn, Jewel, Pearl, and Epic.I will be on the Epic in March to have the full week experience.  We're in a balcony room, so I will report on whether I had issues with the "peek-a-boo" bathrooms.

And now I will leave you with their brand spankin new TV commercials!
