Family Vacation: Get what you Paid!

A reallity is that "most people" want to be able to book their own Family Vacation online, without depending on someone else's advise. Yes, not everyone trust Travel Professionals and even believe that booking a Family Vacation directly from Travel Companies like Carnival Cruises or Walt Disney World will lead the to get the best deals. Or even using booking engines like Orbitz or Travelocity to give an example.

What differenciates me from them? Not much, let me explain. L R Travel have access to the same prices, deals, destinations, etc. like the "Big Travel Companies" and "Booking Engines". An advantage for L R Travel is we have the expertise and travel education that "most people or common people" don't have. What drives this common people to book themselves? The Price. Unfortunatelly cheaper price is NOT equivallent to client's expectations or desires of an unforgettable and worry-free vacation, a simple truth is without a Travel Professional you are on your own.

As a Travel Professional, I use to talk and share with my collegues information that, in most cases, help me suggest a specific destination, a hotel, a cruise or in the other hand totally avoid it. I'm sure an accountant will advise you about Cash Flows or Income Statement, but a Travel Professional will give you the best advise about destinations, best time to travel, excursions, the pros and cons based on past client's experiences or my own.

To give you a better idea, let's picture this example together. Imagine you booked by yourself a Family Cruise Vacation to Mexico, you choose the best deal found with a perfect oceanview stateroom.  What you may not know is that due to high crimes in Mazatlan, MX most (if not all at this time) cruise lines has been avoiding that port of call, that you thought about visiting.

First, if you have had made this booking through L R Travel is for sure, I would have given you that information prior booking, that in fact could have changed your mind of taking that itinerary.

Second, but because you were focusing on the best price, your booked Oceanview Stateroom was a "guaranteed cabin" that in most cases means it has an obstructed view, and here is an example:

I don't consider that this was part of your plan, right? Well once again, if this reservation had been booked through L R Travel, this information would have been clarified upfront before making any committment. I'm here to commit to your needs, to your desires and to do all in my power to exceed your expectations.

We, together, can create a long and trustful relationship, just allow me to help you customize your Dreamed Vacations. One thing I can assure you is, that I'll be the person that pick up the phone the first time you call, and the second one too. On those big companies you don't know who will answer. With L R Travel that's not the case.
