No matter where you live, few trips beat the appeal of a tropical Caribbean cruise. However, even if the package is all-inclusive, there are numerous details to work out in preparation of your voyage. To ensure everything goes off without a hitch, it pays to work with a travel agent. Here are just some of the ways they can optimize your dream vacation. 

Why You Should Work With a Travel Agent to Plan a Caribbean Cruise

1. Bookend Trips

Many Caribbean cruise line packages seem like a dream—since the food, drinks, and amenities are all included in the price of the trip, you may think that with one payment, everything is taken care of. However, travel agents know that clicking “accept” on the cruise line website is only one piece of the puzzle. If you don’t live near the port city, you’ll need to book transportation there—whether that’s in a rental car, on a bus or plane. Then, wherever, the cruise ship docks, you’ll need to find your way home. A travel agent can work out these bookends to your ideal Caribbean vacation. 

2. Excursions

While most cruise ships have enough on-board activities to keep guests busy for the duration of the trip, they also offer excursions in port cities along the way. The majority of these trips are available for surcharges and not included in the package price. Whether you want to explore native cultural centers, swim with stingrays, or climb a waterfall, your travel agent will help you plan the ultimate cruise vacation.

3. Guidance

If you’ve never been on a cruise before, it’s easy to have some misconceptions about how the vacation might go. Luckily, a travel agent has plenty of experience helping singles, couples, and families plan their Caribbean escapes, and they’ve gotten feedback on their clients’ experiences.
