Seatrade Cruise Talks: The Role Of The Travel Agent: Helping Them Help Us

For many travelers, their first point of contact with a holiday is not with the cruise line, airline, or hotel that will be accommodating them, but with a travel agent, and so a travel agent can make or break their experience.
