Carnival Cruise Lines vp for
Australia Jennifer Vandekreeke
has heaped praise on the trade
for the line’s success in Australia
since debuting in mid-2012.
“Travel agents generate the bulk
of our business and we wouldn’t
be here if it weren’t for agents.
“They have really embraced the
product,” she told Cruise Weekly.
“Travel agents absolutely get
the brand and they jumped on it
from the very beginning and have
been a critical part of our success.”
Vandekreeke said the Aussie
traveller, who make up 98% of
local Carnival Cruise Line sales,
has also come to grasp the brand.
“People are really starting
to understand the interactive
nature, such as design your own
taco, design your own burger or
being able to get up on stage with
Playlist Productions.
“It’s very Carnival and people
are really starting to understand
& engage with it which is great.”
