VIRTUALLY THERE: Carnival rocks with travel agents

In honour of Travel Agent Day Wednesday (May 5), Carnival Cruise Line is celebrating the important role of travel advisors with a special edition of “From Adolfo’s Desk LIVE,” an exclusive rewards points offer for advisors, and a new ‘Travel Agent Rocks’ toolkit.

Travel advisors are invited to join Carnival Sr. VP of Global Sales & Trade Marketing Adopho Perez and Brand Ambassador John Heald for a travel advisor-themed segment of the LIVE webinar at 2 p.m. EST with a chance to win a variety of prizes including the line’s popular Travel Agents Rock T-shirts. All advisors who attend the event will also receive a special offer to book their next personal cruise with Carnival.

In addition, travel advisors who are members of Carnival’s Loyalty Rocks! Rewards Program will receive 50 bonus rewards points, which can be used for a variety of items, including gift cards, electronics and home goods.

Carnival has also developed a “Travel Agents Rock!” toolkit that includes a virtual background, and social media posts that agents can use in front of their clients when participating on virtual sales calls and their social media posts.

“At Carnival, we know that we couldn’t do what we do without the amazing work that travel advisors provide for their clients each and every day,” says Perez. “For nearly 50 years, travel advisors have been with us every step of the way and now more than ever National Travel Advisor Day provides us with the opportunity to let our agency partners know how much they are valued and appreciated. They are true rock stars!”

Carnival says all agents registered with the cruise line will be notified of the webinar via e-mail.
