🌊 Why I Became a Cruise Travel Advisor – And Why That’s Good News for You

If you’ve been hanging around Hollett’s At Sea or watching our YouTube channel (@hollettsatsea), then you already know how much we love cruising. From cruise hacks and port tips to the occasional sunburn mishap (don’t ask 😅), it’s safe to say cruising isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle for us.

So it only felt right to take things one step further. I’m now officially a cruise travel advisor, and that means we can help you plan your cruise from start to sail—whether you want full-service help or just a nudge in the right direction.

🎯 Why We Took the Leap

Over the years, we’ve answered tons of questions from fellow cruisers: “When’s the best time to book?” “Do I need a passport?” “Is a drink package really worth it?” (that one’s spicy). And while we’ll still keep the blog and videos coming, we realized there was a better way to serve our community: by helping people actually book smarter, save money, and cruise without the stress.

We’re not here to push you into anything. Our goal? To help you make the best decision for you. If you want to book everything yourself, awesome. If you want us to handle the entire thing and just send you the countdown, even better.

🚢 What We Do for You

  • Find exclusive deals you might not find on public sites
  • Track prices and help rebook if the fare drops
  • Secure perks like onboard credit, upgrades, and more
  • Take care of the “paperwork” headaches like passports, insurance, excursions, and more

We’re working with a host agency that gives us the tools, support, and access to rates and packages you can’t get on your own—and that means we can pass those perks straight to you.

📦 Booking with Us vs. Booking Yourself

You don’t lose control just because you have a travel advisor on your side. We’re cruisers too—we know sometimes you just want to click and book. So here’s the deal:

  • Want full service? We’ll do it all—from research to booking to handling issues if they pop up.
  • Prefer to DIY? No problem. We’ll still give you advice, tools, and maybe even a few booking links to help you score the best deal on your own.

🛳️ Cruise Planning, the Hollett’s At Sea Way

We’ll always be about fun, simple, real-world tips. Our new services just help you take that to the next level. Need help choosing a ship or itinerary? Want to maximize your cruise budget? Let’s chat.

And don’t forget—we’ve still got tons of free tips and our downloadable packing checklist to help you no matter how you cruise.

🎁 What You Get (Besides Our Sparkling Personalities)

  • Insider deals and group rates
  • Help with travel insurance, port planning, and documents
  • Honest, zero-pressure advice—always
  • And yes… maybe even some fun extras just for our Hollett’s crew 😉
