The Queen of Cruise

from Tales of a Travel Agent

This week it’s cruise chaos, travel truths, and one very questionable hotel decision…Becky is fresh off a “masterclass at sea” with Azamara and comes armed with stats that might just change how you sell (or book) cruise forever. From repeat business goldmines to why cruise clients are some of the most loyal in the industry, this is one for anyone who likes making money in travel.But it’s not all smooth sailing…There’s a full blown rant about WhatsApp groups (are they actually necessary or just chaos in notification form?), plus a behind the scenes look at what these industry trips are really like.Then things take a turn…Becky shares her brutally honest experience staying in a capsule hotel in Seville and let’s just say… it’s a hard no. Think zero space, zero comfort, and a whole lot of regret.Jake and Becky also dive into:• why so many people still travel without insurance and why that’s madness • how to actually add value to a cruise booking and stand out from the competition • the rise of solo travel and multi generational trips • why small ships might be the futureAnd to top it all off… they reveal their next slightly unhinged challenge… cliff camping. Suspended off the edge of a cliff. Overnight. For charity.No sleep. No dignity. Possibly no bladder control.As always it’s honest, chaotic and very relatable.If you’ve ever worked in travel or just love the madness behind the scenes… you’re in the right place. Hosted on Acast.
