Well ... I've taken the plunge...



Most folks I've come to know have learned that my life was altered by an accident several years ago. Since then I have been trying to find something to do with my life that would fit my new situation; that could be of some value to me, my family and friends, and that I could be passionate about. Well I think I've found it.

Some who will read this know that I spent many years organizing corporate travel events and the like during my career in business. The work took me pretty much all over the world. I loved that time of my life, and I still love traveling personally, so it's natural that I have chosen to spend some of my available time now in the travel industry - albeit mostly from home!

I am pleased to announce that as of last week I have officially become a Cruise Consultant with Expedia CruiseShipCenters® here in Ottawa. I'm excited to be able to introduce the joy of cruising to my friends, family and associates. Although based in Ottawa, I can - through the magic of our internet based systems - serve folks anywhere in Canada.

Expedia CruiseShipCenters is North America’s #1 seller of cruise vacations. This means I can offer the best value on the widest selection of cruises available, including prices that we are not allowed to advertise to the general public. That's why,should you choose, I would invite you to enroll in my 7Seas® Club. Membership is free and through this program you’ll be first to know about exclusive deals that are based on your personal travel preferences. 

To join, simply visit my website at http://www.cruiseshipcenters.ca/BillMeldrum , then follow the link 'Free Newsletters'. As my thank you for signing up you'll be automatically entered to win a free Caribbean Cruise for Two. Also, I promise I'll only send you occasional, relevant information. I hate junk email as much as anyone!

As a cruise specialist (and believe me when I say that I've been studying hard to learn the cruise business), I'll take the time to understand what you want most in your dream vacation and identify which cruise lines, ships and itineraries best suits your needs. I also manage all the booking arrangements and travel details - air, land and sea. You can leave all the details to me. 

Thank you for taking the time to join my '7Seas® Club'. If anyone reading this has any questions, please feel free to call me at Expedia CruiseShipCenters - (613) 824-9666; toll free - 1-888-824-9666 or (because I'll be working from my home office most of the time) even better via email at bmeldrum@cruiseshipcenters.com to start planning your vacation. I'll be sure to respond as soon as possible.
 I guess that's it for this post.

P.S. The following links provide information on a variety of travel related topics I thought some of you might be interested in.
