Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): Scuffle by Night Drift • Uppbeat License code: TP4U4XVTMLCYT8BD Freebie: https://travelbizboss.myflodesk.com/yoc4t7mpjv On today’s episode I will be chatting with Michele Lindsay of Blue Pointe Travel about how we can elevate the cruise experience even though we have no control over the itinerary and flow of the cruise itself. One of the common objections to cruising is that they are too “cookie-cutter” and clients may be worried about taking a “basic” vacation that doesn’t feel unique in any way. But we absolutely can take a cruise from cookie-cutter to custom so that our clients can enjoy the value and convenience of a cruise while STILL enjoying unique and custom experiences.
