Widgets will keep agents updated with cruise line news

Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises have developed interactive desktop widgets to keep UK agents up to date with deals and news.

Independents, home workers and multiples who download Royal CaribbeanÃ¢â¬â¢s Cruise Compass and Celebrity CruisesÃ¢â¬â¢ StarGazer widgets will be the first to hear about special offers and promotions, cruise and ship updates, and news from both brands.

Ã¢â¬ÅâœIn such a fast moving and dynamic sector as cruising it is vitally important that agents keep up to date,Ã¢â¬~ said Jo Briody, head of marketing Royal Caribbean Cruise Line UK and Ireland.

Ã¢â¬ÅâœOur new Cruise Compass and Stargazer widgets can be downloaded and installed in a matter of minutes and will provide a wealth of information for busy cruise specialists.Ã¢â¬~

The widgets update automatically throughout the day and agents will be able to personalise the widget to receive information that is relevant to their region.

As a reference tool, agents will be able to track any offers as a history of those viewed are stored directly to each desktop widget.

Agents signing up to use the selling tools early on will be entered into a great prize draw for the chance to win a snazzy iPhone or bottle of Champagne.
