Selling the Cruise Experience Experienced cruisers need little assistance in planning cruises. Less-experienced cruisers need assistance from travel agencies. Booking a cruise can be complicated (there are many cruises to many locations for different lengths of time). Cruises can be costly (30 or more different charges for one cruise). Few cruisers book via the Internet; most enjoy the cruise lines’ informative brochures and information. Travel agencies can be full-service (and sell all products/services available), or they may specialize in one product/service. 23.6 O.H. 23.6
