Introduction to the Wide World of Cruising
Recently, I began working as a travel consultant for a host agency. I chose Expedia CruiseShipCenters because of the atmosphere of the office, the personalities of the employees and managers, and the endless opportunities for learning. The catch was that they (obviously) specialized in cruising, which was something that had never crossed my mind as…
