In our in-depth look at the major cruise lines, we put Carnival in the spotlight. Discover the history and enormity of this cruise line and company controlling nearly 50% of the modern cruising market. We'll talk about the fleet, the line's style of cruising, and why it's been popular for so many years.
In our first episode of 2012 we'll talk about the different options you have for booking as well as some important pointers to keep in mind when you book. Maybe there's a different booking method you hadn't considered and are you aware of some of the benefits of booking different ways? Also, some excellent listener feedback which spawns a chat about cruise line tipping policies.
In this episode Allie talks about luggage services including luggage handling services offered by many cruise lines when you leave the ship. Additionally, she'll have an overview of the new ships being deployed in 2012 by the major cruise lines and some of the ship highlights. Happy holidays!
In the second part of our Oasis of the Seas episode, we sit down with Oasis Cruise Director Amy Fickert to get behind-the-scenes and a little insight into the job of a cruise director aboard such a large ship. Great information and some suprises. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed having the interview.
