Cruise Planners - American Express Travel Launches Consumer Smart Phone Application Connecting Travelers and Agents

SAN DIEGO, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cruisers now have more ways to find and books trips while staying connected with their local travel advisor.

Cruise Planners - American Express Travel has recently unveiled its first consumer smart phone application, Cruise Planners MobileTM, connecting cruisers with local travel advisor, Helen Brahms, while giving them access to everything from ship's deck plans to the weather report at each port of call. 

"This is a great tool for people who want to have all the information about their trip easily at their fingertips," said local Cruise Planners agent, Brahms of Rancho Bernardo. "With this application, my clients have been able to double check itineraries, get updates on the weather and even share details about their trip on social media – all from one place."

Cruise Planners MobileTM, available for free download for both Android and iPhone, is yet another example of how Cruise Planners remains the industry leader in technology. The first app that allows customers to access all the details of their entire trip in one, easy to use format, the application allows cruises to view upcoming trips, book vacations and access Cruise Planners' exclusive special offers, amongst other features.

Most importantly, the application allows customers to remain connected to their individual travel advisor. By inputting a username and password, the user's trip history and upcoming travel information will be readily available as well as a direct connection to the agent who book the trips and the possibility to email the travel advisor directly from the application.

"The application doesn't replace the work that I do as a travel advisor, it complements my work" continued Brahms. "This is yet another way that Cruise Planners' Home Office team is working to keep us further connected to our clients and ahead of the curve when it comes to technology."
