CEO's Message: CruiseCompete Celebrates 5th Anniversary.
CruiseCompete went live September 15, 2003. It's been an unbelievable
five years. More than 4 million quotes in response to your requests--a
tremendous amount of work by member-agents that we sincerely appreciate.
I also want to thank you, our customers. We deeply appreciate your
business, and your feedback has had a huge impact on CruiseCompete. The
new-look user "Welcome" page that went up last week and the addition of
our discount airfare recommendations is just the latest in a long line of changes we've made in response to your suggestions.
Finally, I want to offer a special thanks to all of you who have referred
friends and posted information online in various forums about
CruiseCompete. A personal referral is the highest compliment a business
can receive, and your belief in us means more than I can express in words.
I wish you all sunny skies and smooth sailing.
Cheers!

The cruises will feature interactive game shows; character meet-and-greets and performances; exclusive show screenings and plenty of the network's signature slime.
