Photo Highlight
Recognize this city? It's amazing how a cityscape can change when you see it from a different angle. This beautiful shot is actually of New York, one of the United State's 19 cruise ports. New York City actually has two cruise ports - Manhattan and Brooklyn. This photo is of the Brooklyn port taken by our own Ellicia A.

Employee Profile
 
Brandon Biss: Senior Cruise Consultant
Brandon Biss
Senior Cruise Consultant
Interests: Sports, exercising and food!
Favorite Destinations: San Francisco, Sorrento, Boulder, College Park and Amsterdam
This month's employee profile features the Cruise Web's very own "Procrastinator Buster", Brandon Biss.
Brandon's success can be attributed to both internal and external factors. Internally, Brandon is goal oriented and enjoys challenges. "It feels like I have never worked once in the past six years. Every day is a new challenge, and I get to spend my time coming up with ways to overcome those challenges."
Externally, Brandon enjoys the diversity of selling cruises. "I never feel stagnant here because I'm constantly talking to different people about their individual plans. It helps to keep things fresh."
But what about the procrastinators? "It's about understanding if this vacation is what they really want. If it's the right ship and the right destination, then what are we waiting for? Let's book it so you can start planning for your great vacation."
So procrastinators beware, if you get Brandon on the phone, you'll probably find yourself sailing on the perfect cruise in no time.

In my conversations with first time cruisers, I often hear that "it's inconvenient or expensive to get to cruise departure ports!" Many first time cruisers think they have to live in Florida, California, or Alaska to get on a decent cruise.
