Loved travel and had an opportunity to join a great cruise line. What do you feel is the main thing that sets Celebrity Cruises apart from your competition? The people…..great service makes every experience that much better. Share a memory from one of your favorite trips with Celebrity Cruises: In Gibraltar there are monkeys running around free. We got in the cab and the windows are open, so the monkeys ran in one window right across us sitting in the back and out the other side. They would ride on the hood and roof of the cab when we were driving through town. Describe a client who would be the perfect fit for Celebrity Cruises: We are really for the first time cruisers or a long time cruiser. It is about someone wanting to enrich their life's in various ways: maybe it is a relaxing spa vacation, a special port of call they have always wanted to visit, savoring one of our fabulous meals paired with the right wine or just sitting back and watching the world sail by with our great service.

How many times have you worked Cruise Expo with Brentwood Travel? This is my 2nd Cruise Expo representing Globus and Avalon Waterways, but I participated years ago when I worked for a different vacation company. How long have you been with the Globus Family of Brands? About 18 months, but I am celebrating my 20th year in the travel industry in 2016. What made you want to work for Globus? I wanted to work for a company that was well respected by travel agents and consumers with a wide range of products. Globus is a very stable company, celebrating 88 years in business. Our company has survived and thrived through many different challenges which speaks to me on how we handle challenges both internally and externally. What do you feel is the main thing that sets Globus apart from your competition? We bring a level of experience that is second to none. Our world-wide offices are ready and very able to handle anything that is presented. Share a memory from one of your favorite trips with your company: My favorite memory from traveling with Avalon was the day we went to the Normandy Landing Beaches. The day prior, a historian visited the ship and reviewed the history of D-Day. She did an amazing job but when I actually walked on the beach, stepped into bunkers and imagined what happened all those years before it gave me chills. Then we went to the cemetery for a service and some time to pay our respects. It was very humbling. I will always hold this memory dear. Describe a client who would be the perfect fit for one of Globus' products (Globus, Monograms, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways)? It really depends on which product line you are traveling with….for example, Globus is great for couples traveling alone or with other friends. The mix of structure and free time allows guests to reconnect and have a great time without needing to plan every second of the trip. Monograms is great for honeymooners, families or couples looking for a more relaxed itinerary with more free time to explore. Yet, we handle the details of hotel accommodations, half day touring, breakfast daily and local hosting. Avalon, is perfect for first time European travelers that are seeking a new adventure. Guests love to unpack once, while exploring multiple countries with great amenities and inclusions. Cathy and her sister-in-law, Jeannene, went on an
Essential Holland and Belgium Avalon Waterways cruise! How long have you been with Rocky Mountaineer? 2017 will be my third season promoting Rocky Mountaineer and the Canadian Rockies. What made you want to work for Rocky Mountaineer? I made my first visit to Banff and Lake Louise in 1991 and it instantly became my favorite destination in the World. Over the next 24 years I traveled to many other unique destinations and my return trip confirmed that it remains my favorite destination. What do you feel is the main thing that sets Rocky Mountaineer apart from your competition? Rocky Mountaineer provides the ability to customize your journey to the Canadian Rockies while providing spectacular scenery, sweet and savory meals, unmatched storytelling and priceless socialization for our guests. Share a memory from one of your favorite trips with Rocky Mountaineer: There are too many memories to list just one. I always enjoy the emerald colored waters of the lakes, the iconic Fairmont hotels, the abundant wildlife and standing in the outdoor vestibule of the train taking in the scenery. Describe a client who would be the perfect fit for Rocky Mountaineer: Those that enjoy sitting back and enjoying beauty…especially those who have visited Alaska and/or the inland waterways of Europe on a River Cruise. These guests have learned the importance of a relaxing journey while experiencing fantastic surroundings. Ashley, Dianna and Michelle have all traveled with
Rocky Mountaineer and they took some amazing photos! How many times have you worked Cruise Expo with Brentwood Travel? This will be my third time. How long have you been with Paul Gauguin Cruises? Four years. What made you want to work for Paul Gauguin Cruises? Their excellent product and company reputation. What do you feel is the main thing that sets Paul Gauguin apart from other cruise lines? They have the longest year-round cruises in South Pacific area, and their cruises are all-inclusive (even including airfare from Los Angeles!). They also offer South Pacific Immersion in the destinations, and onboard they offer awesome marina deck watersports such as kayaking, snorkeling and paddleboarding. Share a memory from one of your favorite trips with Paul Gauguin Cruises: Swimming with over 50 stingrays - only 10 of us in the water that stretched as far as you could see. Then it rained and we saw a double rainbow over Bora Bora's Monte Otemanu. So amazing! Describe a client who would be the perfect fit for Paul Gauguin Cruises: Honeymoon or anniversary, landmark birthdays (40-50-60-70), and families wanting luxury small ship experiences (we partner with the Wildlife Conservation Society). How many times have you worked Cruise Expo with Brentwood Travel? For close to 15 years. How long have you been with Princess Cruises? 18 years (2 year hiatus). What made you want to work for Princess Cruises? Princess is such a wonderful fit for a majority of the traveling public. We manage to bring sophistication and elegance onboard without the “stuffiness" associated with that experience. Our fabulous accommodating staff, variety of onboard opportunities PLUS our fabulous dining experiences are beyond compare. Princess is the REAL CRUISE EXPERIENCE!! What do you feel is the main thing that sets Princess Cruises apart from your competition? Service and entertainment options. We still have that small ship feel with BIG ship choices. Share a memory from one of your favorite trips with Princess Cruises: Definitely the Greek Isles – AFTER 50 YEARS SAILING….there are many Princess Memories!! Describe a client who would be the perfect fit for Princess Cruises: ME/Hubby – empty nesters – world explorers who want to travel in style and comfort. Mid-age explorers or even first time cruisers to Alaska – we have such an amazing presence there. Onboard a Princess Ship, you have so many choices, from dining, to evening entertainment as well as our wonderful children programs…… we FIT!! We fit all variety of cruiser’s needs/wishes/dreams! Amy is also specialized in Princess' sister company Cunard. Emily and her parents sailed on Crown Princess while exploring the Alaskan Inside Passage!
