We’re back for another great episode of “Babbling Brooks with Allan Brooks,” Director of Sales for Celebrity Cruises and John Kirk, EIC and Founder, TravelPulse Canada.

Everything’s “popping” for Celebrity this year – new ports, commissions remain high and bookings are solid. 

We’re in the wake of Wave Season and the bookings continue to come in, and space is limited for 2024.  Pricing remains high and selling out quickly, something Brooks says is a good problem to have.

One of the biggest tips Brooks has is regarding group space; bookings are already into 2025/ 2026 season and advisors should book early to avoid disappointment.

Caribbean is still going strong and is more affordable, while Alaska and Europe remain in demand with new offerings as well.

Brooks also reveals the winners of a cruise, inclusive of airfare courtesy of Air Canada, you won’t want to miss!
