What’s Ahead: Previewing cruise3sixty Day 2

If you think yesterday’s schedule was full, think again. Day number two of the 10th anniversary edition of cruise3sixty is going to be jam-packed. Here’s a preview:

This morning we begin with two technology classes: Facebook 2014 and 40 Must-Have Travel Apps. A couple of our team members previewed the Apps class when it came to Houston last month and it’s got some great suggestions. We’ll share some of them with you in a blog post later today.

Then,it’s time to chat with our cruise line partners. We’ll begin with the luxury market and updates on what’s new with the river cruises and high-end ocean vessels.

After lunch, we’ll continue to get updates from our partners, including a meeting with our reps from Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara.

The day continues with a visit from “The Sales Coach” and some inspirational and practical sales tips.

Finally, we’ll wrap up the day with one last classroom session entitled “Get Your Geek On.” This is an intensive look at social media trends in travel.

This evening, we’ll celebrate those who have earned certifications from CLIA in the past year. Our staff alone has earned several, including:

Chris Grum – MCC (Master Cruise Counsellor) and LCS (Luxury Cruise Specialist)
Jennifer Grum – ACC (Accredited Cruise Counsellor) and LCS (Luxury Cruise Specialist)
