I joined the Jetline Cruise team after having served faithfully for 2 years in the Jetline Travel team specialising in land-based holidays. It was a challenge at first, having dealt with land holidays only, but it has been very worthwhile and I am enjoying every minute of working in the cruise department.
I have been with the Jetline group of companies since April 2007, initially as a Travel Consultant for land holidays in Jetline Travel. In August 2009 I moved to Jetline Cruise customer services where the hours facilitated my child care. I loved everything about the cruise industry, and in December 2009 when I was ready to return full-time, I joined the Jetline Cruise sales team.
I have always loved travel as a career choice, which has afforded me the opportunity to visit many different countries and locations. I am looking forward to my first cruise to gain that vital first-hand experience. My ideal cruise would be on the Cunard Queen Mary 2. It looks a marvellous ship and I relish the thought of flying to San Francisco, spending 4 nights there sightseeing, 3 nights on the Amtrak train from San Francisco to New York and then 2 nights in New York (shopping geared more for my wife), and then cruising back on the QM2. That would really be heaven packed in a ship for me!
All my experience in cruise customer services, particularly understanding the customer’s point of view, has been invaluable. I now get to help our customers first hand in bringing their dream holiday to life. In my opinion there's nothing to beat a cruise holiday. It can be whatever you want, whether relaxing or full of adventure. You can set sail for a string of intriguing and exciting destinations whilst enjoying luxury and pampering en-route. You can turn up or lower the pace as much or as little as you like, depending on your mood.
I have found it very interesting to learn about all the different cruise ships and am very keen and excited to see them all. So, by the end of this marvellous career, l can say that I have conquered all the ships!
The cruise that I would most love to do is a Transatlantic cruise from Southampton to New York on Cunard's Queen Mary 2; a couple of nights in New York, with loads of shopping in mind – then on to Miami and cruise back with Royal Caribbean on Jewel of the Seas; it would be perfect!
I look forward to using my extensive travel experience to help you book your next holiday with Jetline Cruise.
I look forward to helping you bring your dream holiday to life with Jetline Cruise.

Budget Busting Ideas

As you can imagine – being at the forefront of the cruise industry for many years, we have built up considerable and invaluable experience in pinpointing the best cruise offers in an extremely competitive market.
F
Book a guarantee cabin and you could receive a FREE upgrade
We have an amazing offer for January 2012 with Holland America Line to South America including Machu Picchu - see page 25
Cruise prices fluctuate constantly dependent upon demand, availability, fuel costs and airline fares. Our prices are based on the best deals of the day that we can find. But, something available today could have gone up in price tomorrow. It may be a cliché but – if you see something you like - book it now. In 2010 we experienced unprecedented demand for our best selling offers - the cruise lines and airlines then responded to this increased demand by raising fares. GUARANTEE CABINS If you are flexible and not fussy about cabin numbers and locations – you can pay a low price and possibly end up with a higher grade of cabin. Many cruise lines offer special promotional prices from time to time based on a non-specific grade of cabin, for passengers who can be flexible. These are referred to as guarantee cabins which do not have a specific cabin number, location or deck at the time of booking. These cabins are usually considerably cheaper than the lowest priced cabins with a specific
6
location on the ship and deck number. Look out for interior, ocean view and balcony guarantee cabins at the time of booking. The cruise line will then allocate a specific cabin number shortly before your cruise, at the time the cruise documents are issued. Lots of cruisers have ended up with a higher grade of cabin than they would have had otherwise. THE BEST TIME TO BOOK Early Booking Offers. When a brochure or new campaign is launched it is usually packed with some great early booking offers – such as free car parking, special discounts and on-board credit. These are ideal if you have specific requirements for your cabin grade, cabin location & cruise itinerary (especially if it is an unusual one). If you will be booking a family of three or four in one cabin during school holidays – it is particularly important to book early to avoid disappointment. Early booking offers are usually for cruises departing 6 months or more in the future. Many cruise lines are already preparing their new 2012 campaigns, and so many 2011 cruises are no longer being sold on an early booking basis, the best availability and launch offers having been sold last year. However P&O & Cunard have some amazing early booking offers for their 2012 world cruises and sectors (see pages 11 and 22). On Page 14 there are some attractive Winter exotic cruise offers on Cunard Queen Victoria. In short -book early if you have specific requirements, or like something well-planned to look forward to. Late Offers. In our experience the best late booking offers are usually published by the cruise lines 12 – 4 weeks before departure. In this edition you will find lots of offers from April throughout the Summer and

money with our great ideas!" If you are flexible then big savings can be made on flights
Here are some great ways of finding the right cruise at the best price, together with ideas on how to save money along the way and hopefully bust your budget.
INDING THE BEST SAVINGS We believe we have done all of the hard work for you already. By utilising our special Jetline discounts, all of the offers featured in our magazine are priced lower than you could get direct from the cruise lines. For a number of offers we have enhanced the cruise with a land-based stay to offer a unique all-round holiday experience at surprisingly low prices. We compare available offers with similar cruises, across all cruise lines, and then select for a combination of best price, best itinerary and/or a more popular ship.

Autumn. Prices are constantly changing and cruise lines are starting to worry about un-booked staterooms for early Summer. Now is the time to book cruises during this period, for example the bargains featured by P&O on page 10, the unusual cruises with Crown Princess on page 13 or the Med sale with Royal Caribbean on page 20. Also take advantage of the recently reduced prices on Celebrity Infinity to Alaska before they, and the Rockies train, sell out. In short - for a late deal BE FLEXIBLE and you will end up with a bargain. Special Offers / Exclusives. These can be at any time of the year and are usually where we have found some really low cruise and/or flight prices, or formulated some incredible itineraries. Check out our cruise and stay holidays on the Queen Mary 2 and our complete Canada and New England experience on Royal Caribbean Explorer of the seas. The 2 Luxury icons of Cunard and the Venice Simplon Orient Express are offered as an exclusive holiday which, surprisingly, we have not found anywhere else. Also we have an amazing offer for January 2012 with Holland America Line to South America including Machu Picchu - see page 25. In short, if you see something you like – GRAB IT, as it won’t be around for long at the price. ON-BOARD CREDIT OFFERS Look out for lots of offers with on-board spending money for things like drinks, speciality restaurants, on-board purchases and excursions. This helps to cut the cost of your overall holiday and means that you need less spending money. Take a look at our best selling on-board credit offer for NCL Jade to Venice and the Greek isles with FREE bathrobes on selected dates. Our Holland America South America Offer includes on-board spending money as does our special offer for New Year in New York with Cunard Queen Mary 2.
FLY CRUISES All of our cruises departing from ports overseas include flights from London. London airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick are the main hub for the international routes of most airlines. As a result airfares from London tend to be much lower than those from regional airports. These can be lower still if flying indirectly such as via New York to Florida. This is perfect if you want to avoid the immigration queues at Miami and if you want to add on extra nights and visit the local area before continuing your flight. For our members who live further away from London we are experienced in finding the best flight arrangements from your local airports at the lowest possible supplement. This may be by booking the full flight itinerary from your local airport, but usually the cheaper option is to simply add on a separate low cost flight to connect to the flight itinerary from London. If you are flexible then big savings can be made – for example using Easyjet from Liverpool instead of a BA flight from Manchester, or using Flybe from Belfast to Southampton. AIRLINE LUGGAGE ALLOWANCES Quite often people come home with more luggage than they went with. This can have costly consequences if you exceed your airline luggage allowances. We recommend that you find out what these are before you travel. It is always much cheaper to pre-book excess luggage before you travel than by paying at the check-in desk. Another way of overcoming this is to consider our cruise holidays with no flights, or where you fly out but sail back to the UK, such as some of our Princess, Cunard Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria offers.

TAXI RANK v PREBOOKED TRANSFER For cruises where the airport is not far from the cruise port -some of our lowest prices are achieved by sourcing airfares and hotels separately from the cruise fare. Savings of hundreds of pounds per person are made over the cost of the full package direct from the cruise line. The only tangible difference being that you have to make your own way in a taxi between the airport, hotel and port. We can pre-book transfers for you - but these often cost two or three times more than simply hailing a cab from the taxi rank outside the arrivals hall. Pre-booked transfers also take much longer - having to identify where the transfer desk is, waiting for transportation to become available, waiting for other passengers to join you and making a circuitous route if travelling to or from a hotel. Plus, by travelling in a private taxi you can beat the queues and get to your destination before the transfer coaches. AIRPORT & PORT CAR PARKING Save money and look out for FREE port car parking offers, which are usually Celebrity, Cunard or P&O. If not we can pre book your port or airport car park and this will usually save from £3-£6 per day instead of simply turning up on the day.
Why not consider a cruise holiday with no flights, so your luggage allowance is larger

Here you will find the Acadia National Park with its lakes, forest and mountains.

The stunning scenery is non-stop from the flash of Broadway to the dramatic and magnificent Palisades. The journey takes you to the heart of what a these holidays are all about. This 11-hour journey allows us to effortlessly link up Niagara Falls with New York without having to fly back to Toronto. You also save time as cross-border immigration is completed en route on the train and you arrive into the heart of Manhattan at New York Penn station just one block from Macys and 2 blocks from the Empire State Building. This avoids flight delays, airport security and the traffic between airport and city. It is no wonder that this far less stressful and much more scenic way to travel has become extremely popular. The route includes the Adirondack Mountains, the spectacular Mohawk Valley region, the Finger Lakes & the western shore of Lake Ontario.
If you are a seasoned cruiser looking for somewhere different or if you appreciate spectacular scenery and love nature at its best, then a Canada & New England cruise is for you.
Niagara Falls
NIAGARA FALLS: The honeymoon capital of the world, where Lake Erie flows from the USA into Lake Ontario in Canada via the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls. The Falls are best viewed from the Canadian side of the Niagara River where the Niagara Parkway runs alongside the River and affords the best views. The Fallsview Casino and shopping complex on the hill also presents an excellent vantage point and is well worth a visit, together with a trip up the Skylon Tower. No Visit to Niagara would be complete without a journey on the famous Maid of the Mist and a walk through the caves in “A Journey Behind the Falls”. In both cases you are supplied with a blue mac to protect you from the dramatic spray. For the more energetic, perhaps take an exciting Jet Boat Tour through the rapids and the mighty whirlpool - there are both dry and wet versions to choose from!

Cruise Industry News
Here is the latest roundup of cruise industry news for this month. The trend has been for our members to take a late bargain break for a secondary holiday, or to invest early for a longer duration exotic destination as their main holiday for the year. Our product and pricing department is working overtime to process the non-stop offers and continuous price amendments being issued by the cruise lines in a bid to balance demand with supply. The other factors affecting price are the upward hikes in fuel surcharges and a surge in flight fares due to increased fuel costs and tax increases. All of theses factors are driving costs up, so today’s offer prices will inevitably be gone tomorrow.
Cunard Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth meet in Sydney Cunard’s newest ocean liner, Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Sydney for the first time in February, where she was met by sister ship Queen Mary 2. It was the first time the “Cunard Queens” had ever arrived into Sydney Harbour together. However, it was reminiscent of an earlier meeting when the original Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, which were both then World War II troop ships, passed each other at Sydney Heads, the entrance to the harbor, on April 9, 1941.
Royal Caribbean signs new ship order Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. has signed a letter of intent with shipyard Meyer Werft to build the first of a new generation of Royal Caribbean International cruise ships. Developed under the code-name “Project Sunshine,” the new vessel design incorporates new and exciting features that take advantage of the best of Royal Caribbean International’s experience and imagination. The project is a result of over a year of dedicated research and development.
Both ships are midway through their world voyages, Queen Elizabeth having sailed from New Zealand while Queen Mary 2 arrived from Adelaide. Cunard Managing Director, Peter Shanks, said the company was thrilled that the cruise line could stage another spectacular Royal Rendezvous in Sydney during Queen Elizabeth’s first world voyage.
The order calls for one ship to be delivered in Autumn 2014 with an option for a second ship for Spring 2015. The 158,000 Gross Registered Tons (GRT) new build will carry just over 4,100 guests based on double occupancy. “Royal Caribbean International has worked hard to earn a reputation of offering the most innovative ships in the cruise industry and this next generation will not disappoint,” said Richard D. Fain, Chairman and CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. “While we continue our policy of keeping our newest ideas and features under wraps during the early stages of construction, I can say that I am very excited about the passion and imagination that our teams have devoted to the project. Project Sunshine builds on the best ideas of our existing ships and adds exciting
“Sydney is always a highlight port for our Cunard world voyage guests but marking an historic Royal Rendezvous with our two Queens certainly adds to the attraction,” Shanks said. A special remembrance service was held on board Queen Mary 2 as a tribute to “Australia’s Finest Generation”, many of whom sailed to war on the original Cunard Queens.
new activities and entertainment concepts. It will offer features for everyone: from grand, spectacular spaces to small intimate settings; from active, invigorating activities to the serenity of more personal space; and from a plethora of dining alternatives to a cornucopia of opportunities for families. I am also excited about the energy efficiency and environmental technologies which have been incorporated. Our existing ships are some of the most energy efficient in the world and Project Sunshine takes this one further step. Based on over 20 years of experience with Meyer Werft, along with their compelling proposal, we know they will deliver on all of the innovations Royal Caribbean International’s guests have come to expect.” “Meyer Werft is pleased to be working with Royal Caribbean International especially in light of their reputation for building such innovative ships. I am very happy we are continuing our long time partnership with Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and its brand, Royal Caribbean International. Their projects always present incredible opportunities for Meyer Werft to create the latest cutting edge hardware in the cruise industry,” said Bernard Meyer, managing partner of Meyer Werft shipyard.

GREENWICH LONDON - The new up and coming cruise terminal Greenwich is beginning to appear more and more on the port of call list for Northern European cruises. Greenwich is ideally placed just past the Thames Barrier and O2 Dome - close to Canary Wharf. Greenwich itself is a wonderful part of London to visit with lots of markets, antique shops, quaint buildings and Greenwich Park. It is also full of Maritime history with the National maritime museum and the home of the Cutty Sark. Greenwich is situated just down river from Tower Bridge and the much shallower cruise terminal for the Port of London. Greenwich is ideally situated on the Jubilee line to visit central London and on the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) to visit canary Wharf and the city. Plus it is also conveniently situated just 4 stops from the Olympic Park at Stratford.

Enderby Wharf in Greenwich could be given the go ahead to be the cruise port for London following new development plans awaiting the go-ahead from Boris Johnson.

Surprisingly, this 9-10 night deal on the Queen Mary 2 can cost LESS than a 1 way flight! Many people recognise that a Cunard Queen Mary 2 voyage to New York is a special treat - whether for a family celebration, as part of a longer holiday or for a very stylish 2nd trip of the year.

THE SHOPPING: There are few places better to shop than in New York. In fact our best prices are just in time for some Christmas shopping or for the post Christmas, January sales. Most important – if you opt for an outbound flight, the beauty of sailing home rather than flying is that you will not be worrying about luggage weight restrictions whilst you shop! Stock up on cut price jeans at the Levis store on Lexington Avenue (opposite Bloomingdales) & look out for superb homeware stores, such as Crate & Barrel on Madison Avenue and Pottery Barn on Lexington & 59th with amazing goods that you simply must have. Tiffanys on 5th Avenue is a must, with the huge underground Apple Mac I-Pod store close by. Load up with bargains at Abercrombie & Fitch and Banana Republic on 5th Avenue. Visit Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Versace, Cartier, Armani, Dior and a whole host of designer stores nearby. For the Budget conscious Old Navy on 34th St opposite Macy’s is a must. Then there is Macy’s Dept Store just down the road from the Empire State Building and great for lunch!
