Booking a cruise online
Travelocity, the leading online
cruise brand and one of the largest sellers of cruises in the world introduces
its fourth-generation booking engine. New and improved consumer-friendly
features build on the company's commitment to providing the most comprehensive
selection of affordable cruise getaways and cruise tools anywhere.
In time for wave season, cruisers can take advantage of Travelocity's
latest technological advancements and enhancements to the cruise booking
engine and homepage that include:
Slice and dice: Travelers can now sort cruise search
results by price, destination, departure date, length of cruise, cruise line,
stateroom category, and/or class of ship all from the homepage -- powerful new
technology that helps price-conscience consumers set a budget and stick to it.
Switching gears: Refine or modify your search midway through the
booking process without starting over from scratch - the only online travel site
with this feature.
Upwardly mobile: Cruisers can now select the exact stateroom of their
choice based on real-time inventory or upgrade their stateroom when available. For
example, if an ocean-view stateroom can be booked for only $50 more than an inside
stateroom, Travelocity makes the math easy and automatically gives the price to
upgrade, allowing shoppers to make more informed purchase decisions instantly.
See and believe: Shoppers can now simply roll over the stateroom names
in the booking path for information on specifications and amenities
through the innovative Intelli-Deck(TM) functionality which also
displays images of other ship features such as restaurants and theatres.
Keep it simple: Travelers know exactly where they are in the booking
process thanks to a revamped status bar that continually provides updates on how many
steps are left before the transaction is complete.
Genie in a bottle: If questions arise during the reservation process, a
host of new tips are now available to guide cruisers seamlessly through the process.
Ol' reliable: As always, with Travelocity's comprehensive search
results, the lowest possible lead rates for all room types are presented first to
allow for side- by-side comparison.
"As the first travel Web site to sell cruises completely online, our
experience working with the major cruise lines to bring the best deals to
consumers for cruises spanning the globe is unparalleled," said Michelle
Peluso, senior vice president product strategy and distribution for
Travelocity. "We will continue to reinforce our leadership position in the
weeks to come as we roll out the next phase of our offerings. Cruisers
shopping at our site can continue to expect nothing but an excellent
experience from us."
