     You may ask why First Choice Travel and Cruise agents go through all the bother to get certified and visit the many destinations we specialize in so often.
If you were planning the vacation of your lifetime, or perhaps your honeymoon, and you wanted to go to an exotic island destination, wouldn’t YOU want your travel agent to have been there first?
You would feel more confident with an agency where someone has visited the hotels, knows how to get around, where to get a decent meal, and knows the best sightseeing options first-hand. We will also tell you what we didn’t like or if we think the hotel or destination might not be right for you.
Have Questions? When you start planning your VACATION, contact the EXPERTS, not the Amateurs!
We would love to recommend a vacation for you that will exceed your expectations!"
