Press Release
CruiseCompete.com CELEBRATES ITS THIRD ANNIVERSARY WITH AWARDS, 1.5 MILLION QUOTE MILESTONE
DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 14, 2006 - Celebrating its third anniversary, CruiseCompete.com today announced its annual awards for its member-travel agencies. In addition, the company announced that member-agencies have provided more than 1.5 million quotes to consumers.
"During the past three years, our member agencies have played an invaluable role in the success of the Web site," Levinstein said. "Their attentiveness, focus on customer service and ability to provide our customers with unbeatable deals on cruises has been critical to our sustained growth this year and I’m sure well into the future."
Cruises-n-More, based in Lake Mary, Florida swept the top two awards as Esther Aimable was named CruiseCompete Agent of the Year, and the agency was named the CruiseCompete Agency of the Year.
"We've always had pretty fierce competition at the top," said Levinstein. "This is the first time we've had both awards go to the same agency. While they have a number of stand-out agents, Esther's performance played a major part in driving Cruises-n-more's numbers and she is very deserving of the honor."
The complete list of all of the award winning agents and agencies is provided below.
"We are very proud of and grateful to all of our member agents and agencies, as it is their continued hard work that provides the value to CruiseCompete customers and makes the service a success."
