I Need Your Help

Now though, I need your help. If you’ve been following for a while, you’ll know that I don’t tend to take myself too seriously but I do try my best to provide accurate and useful information. Up until now I have flown a little under the radar within the local cruise industry, mostly by design. Despite my roots in the industry being a travel agent, I approach my content and videos from the angle of a consumer. I always share with you my truth about experiences and highlight the value that they can provide. I’ve appreciated that many in my audience have acknowledged that I create fair and balanced reviews and assessments and yes, that sometimes means talking about things cruise lines do or experiences onboard that I disagree with. Like you, I’ve spent thousands travelling on cruises, and I know also that the time you spend, either yourself or with family and friends while holidaying, is sometimes even more valuable than the financial component. That’s why I do my best to give you the information you need to help you make an informed purchasing decision. Recently there’s been a lot of conversation about influencers within the cruise industry, I’ve linked to some articles below if you’re interested in reading about it. Australia is a small market, and there aren’t many of us doing this sort of thing but it did get me thinking more in-depth about why I’m doing this. Well, I now have every intention of becoming Australia’s number one cruise resource across platforms and I do need your help to get there. Yes, I will continue to highlight cruise products and offerings and I will showcase them to you wherever possible, but I won’t be an extension of a cruise line’s marketing arm. I will continue to tell you the truth, when I’ve experienced or seen something, so that you can decide to spend your money where you will get the best return on your investment. How can you help? I’m asking you to share this video in your cruise communities and with your cruising family and friends. Subscribing, following and liking ultimately tells the big social media machine, and the cruse lines, that us and our community is a force to be reckoned with; but assured that I will always focus on providing fair and balanced reviews. - Join my private Facebook group for cruise deals, tips and advice - the more members we have, the better we’ll get! www.facebook.com/groups/CTGdeals Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: www.facebook.com/thecruiseandtravelguy www.instragram.com/thecruiseandtravelguy Support the channel with a slogan tee: https://thecruiseandtravelguy.myshopify.com Head to my website for great cruise and travel deals: www.thecruiseandtravelguy.com.au
