Widgets will keep agents updated with cruise line news

Monday, 13 May, 2009 0

Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises have developed interactive desktop widgets to keep UK agents up to date with deals and news.

Independents, home workers and multiples who download Royal Caribbeanâ€™s Cruise Compass and Celebrity Cruisesâ€™ StarGazer widgets will be the first to hear about special offers and promotions, cruise and ship updates, and news from both brands.

â€œIn such a fast moving and dynamic sector as cruising it is vitally important that agents keep up to date,â€ said Jo Briody, head of marketing Royal Caribbean Cruise Line UK and Ireland.

â€œOur new Cruise Compass and Stargazer widgets can be downloaded and installed in a matter of minutes and will provide a wealth of information for busy cruise specialists.â€

The widgets update automatically throughout the day and agents will be able to personalise the widget to receive information that is relevant to their region.

As a reference tool, agents will be able to track any offers as a history of those viewed are stored directly to each desktop widget.

Agents signing up to use the selling tools early on will be entered into a great prize draw for the chance to win a snazzy iPhone or bottle of Champagne.
