Cruises International's Cruise Expo

Cruises International’s Cruise Expo...a well oiled machine.

I wouldn’t have believed it if you told me back in Jan, 2000 when the first Expo took place, that Cruises International’s Cruise Expo, a venue for showcasing cruises and cruise lines, would be going stronger than ever in 2008.

I’ve seen these types of venues become very popular but only for a couple of years. When the “Oil Painting” sales would come to town, and inhabit the ballrooms of the major hotels, i.e. Marriott and Hyatt, I remember not making any other plans for that day. I had to go and see for myself what type of fabulous oil paintings; “art” so to speak, would be sold for only $10-$20 dollars. All of that art, in one room. What a concept! And of course, I could not leave without making a purchase, otherwise I was a “loser”, and not in sync with all my neighbors who adorned their walls with various paintings of seascapes and cities.

These art sales are still showing up, however the crowds are gone, as is the craze.

Not so with the Cruise Expo. In reality, I’m really not amazed by this at all.

Cruising isn’t a craze. It’s a lifestyle. More and more Americans are discovering this lifestyle, and all the while, the individual cruise lines are vying for your business. There are so many cruise lines and hundreds of ships and these ships have to be filled each and every week or the cruise lines suffer. The cruise lines know that all they need to do is get you on the ship, and you’ll spend more money onboard. Cruise rates + onboard revenue are what keeps the cruise lines in business.

Consequently, there are “deals”.

Cruises International’s Cruise Expo is the one place where you can compare the offers and deals from most cruise lines in one single shopping experience. This happens 3 times a year, on Saturday and Sunday, winter, summer and fall, the times when ordinary people like you and me are looking for the perfect getaway.

The Expo runs like clockwork, with additional perfection added to each event.

The representatives from all the cruise lines, the large well known cruise lines, and the smaller less familiar ones, all know to come at 10:00 to man their booths. Trade show style. Their displays are clear and attractive, making everyone’s mouth water for that perfect vacation. On their tables are brochures of each destination, the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, Mexico, Tahiti, the Panama Canal, Australia, Russia, China, and the list goes on, as the cruise lines are forever adding interesting and less visited ports of call. You can also find their Expo offers and “deals” at their tables. These offers can be exclusive offers that are only available to people who come to the Expo, or call the week before or the week after the event.

After perusing the cruise line’s booths, you can attend enlightening presentations by the cruise line reps. He/she will show videos, discuss the ships, itineraries and amenities one can find on their cruises. This is extremely helpful in evaluating which cruise line you would prefer, and what itinerary you would like to experience.

From there you can speak with a Cruises International Vacation Planner, the most experienced cruise consultants gathered in one place. Amongst all the staff at Cruises International, they have been on every ship to practically every destination in the world.

Aside from the offers and “deals” that the cruise lines offer, the fun starts after a cruise is booked. Usually, there is a gift for booking your cruise, and it could be anything from a fun filled gift basket, with robes and wine to luggage sets in all colors. Then, you are escorted to the “Wheel”.

It is here that you can spin for another discount.

The crowd roars!
