Seasite.com Launches Version 2.0
Jul 15th, 2011 by admin

Business Planners Can Now Search Cruise Choices and Submit One Request to Five Cruise Lines Simultaneously

 
Seasite.com, the first online portal for cruise meetings and events, launched version 2.0 that provides business and event planners direct access to major cruise lines. With the new electronic Request For Proposal (eRFP) feature, planners can send custom RFPs to up to five cruise companies at once and negotiate directly with them with no added costs or fees.
 
Seasite bills itself as the universal access point to the cruise industry for meeting professionals and it seems as though it’s paying off. Their statistics show a 55% growth in web traffic from January 2011 to June. 
 
Jackie Fox, of Morris Meetings & Incentives, is a strong advocate for SeaSite, “encouraging all planners to use this fantastic tool”.           
 
Some of Seasite’s other features include mini-sites which provide in depth information on multiple cruise lines. Seasite also offers cruise planner guides that provide ship information like meeting room capacities, group dining options, and number of available cabins. User’s can compare multiple ships and print planners guides for reference as needed.
 
Access the full Press Release here. For an overview of the new features visit this blog post. They also offer a walk-through video on their home page.

It Pays to Know Your Group Cruise Planner!
Aug 24th, 2010 by admin

Group cruise planners may seem like the life of the party, but they can also be overstressed and overworked. The job isn’t as easy as it looks, it involves a lot of planning and it seems as if everyone else on the whole boat gets to have fun but the group cruise planner! A little common sense would suggest that there might be an opportunity to make friends and reap rewards, so here is some advice on how to turn a group cruise planner into a cohort:

  • Let them know how much you admire their dedication – A little appreciation goes a long ways in so many cases, yet it is one of the last things that people do. Someone who can keep work and play separate day in and day out is indeed praiseworthy , especially when the two blend together so well.
  • Offer something in return – If a cruise planner is ever in your city, perhaps between cruises, offer them a tour of your corporate facilities. It probably won’t cost much, especially if tours are already available, and it could certainly help build bridges that could prove valuable in future cruises.
  • Offer concise solutions, not elaborate problems – Remember that group cruise planners are under a lot of pressure to get around a million-and-a-half things done in the time it takes most people to accomplish just a handful of tasks. If you have concise problems and solutions instead of long-winded problems, you are a big step towards making a new friend.

Why to Choose a Floating Hotel for Your Meeting
Jun 30th, 2010 by admin

If you have seen one hotel, you have practically seen them all. While hotels can be quite beautiful and offer fine dining experiences, there is nothing all that unique about staying in a hotel. For this reason, employees may not be genuinely motivated by incentive travel if the destination is a hotel in a large city. However, a floating hotel is a different thing altogether. Instead of choosing a land venue for a business meeting, consider holding the meeting on a cruise ship. The cruise ship or floating hotel is an excellent venue for meetings at sea and can offer choice business amenities and services.

A ship charter can offer companies and organizations significant savings and provide employees with a break from the everyday norm. Individuals can choose to stay in a hotel room any time they like; however, staying aboard a cruise ship is not an every occurrence. A group cruise planner can make an incentive cruise easy and affordable for a business. A cruise meeting on a floating hotel may be just the things employees need to experience a burst of creativity and innovation. Inspired by majestic, beautiful, natural surroundings, a cruise event on a floating hotel can be profitable for everyone involved.
