Dream Vacations
The Best the
World Has
to Offer
hile the Internet has made online shopping easier, one arena
where that doesn’t hold true is travel bookings. And with
Dream Vacations, Maureen Hilker has been planning trips for
clients that they could never find with a mouse click.
She says that while there’s been an uptick in all-inclusive land vacations,
most of her clientele is comprised of people who enjoy cruises.
“People recognize cruising as a great way to get away,” Hilker explained.
“Some people are hesitant to get on a boat, but being on a ship is not like
being on a little motorboat. You don’t even realize you’re on a ship. The cruise
industry takes care of you. It’s safe. They’ll never take you into a bad situation.
We had our national conference on the Norwegian Bliss headed to Cabo San
Lucas, and a hurricane was forming at the time, so they rerouted us to San
Francisco. It didn’t impact the trip because the destination with a cruise is the
ship, and the Norwegian Bliss is a gorgeous ship.”
Another advantage offered by Dream Vacations that you won’t find online
is support throughout your vacation. Hilker is there for you if anything comes
up—from securing a refund for you from a canceled show, to helping you
squeeze in an extra tour if you find yourself with
extra time on your hands. But, in her mind, the
best reason to sit down with a trip advisor is
personalization of your vacation.
