When you ask for our recommendations, Ralph personally reviews your preferences and responds at no cost. If you would like help booking, he can refer you to his daughter, Britton Frost, a Cruise Planners travel advisor, or to another qualified travel advisor when appropriate. Britton’s booking assistance costs you nothing extra; she is compensated by the cruise line. She can help you compare fares and promotions, choose the right itinerary and stateroom, manage important booking details, and serve as your advocate if questions or problems arise. You are never obligated to book, and Ralph’s recommendations are not influenced by commissions, commercial relationships, or which cruise line or travel advisor ultimately receives your booking.
