Mytravelco.com is an internet web service that specializes in information on cruises. This site will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about cruise destinations, cruise activities, booking a cruise, etc.
Basic Features:
This web service will provide you with all the information you need to purchase a cruise vacation. The main page always features six cruise specials, which you can click on to get more information. I you just want to browse through the different destinations that are available for cruising, you can perform a search based on the location that you want to travel. You can also search by type/size of ship or by cruise line.
If you want to receive a price quote on a cruise, you must first setup a user account, and establish a user id and password. You also have the option of receiving a weekly newsletter containing special offers.
Maybe you aren't sure what cruise line has the most to offer, and you want more information, or you want to see pictures. If so, no problem! Mytravelco.com has all the information you could possibly hope for, and more. For instance, you can click on a section to see the exact measurements and capacity of the different cruise ships. You can also take a virtual ship tour, which includes 360- degree pictures of the different cabin rooms in the ship, the restaurant and bar areas, the workout room, the pool area, the theatre, the casino, and every other area of the ship. If you are curious about the geographic and population data of your vacation destination, mytravelco.com also has a section to tell you all about the country you intend to visit.
Other Services:
Mytravelco.com does offer information on airfare, car rentals, and lodging, but these are just links into other vacation web sites. Mytravelco.com is really just a cruise vacation site.
In addition to all of the cruise information, there are some other features like a message board, chat room, and even a scrapbook containing vacation cruise pictures that mytravelco.com members have scanned into the site.
Customer Service:
Mytravelco.com offers a toll- free service line that you can use to answer your questions, or to book your cruise. You can send an e-mail message, too, but if your question needs a quick response, you should just call rather than take a chance with e-mail.
Final Thoughts:
This web service does have a lot to offer if you're looking to spend your vacation on the open sea. There is extensive information to be gathered here, and some very enticing photographs, too. Otherwise, it's a limited service. The name really should be cruises.com, or something like that, so that travelers will know that this is strictly a cruise service, not a full- service site.
