Expensive travel can still be a great value. Learn the difference between expensive and overpriced travel and how smart timing can make a trip worth it.

After 19 episodes of talking about travel value, we finally ask the question Scott intentionally saved until near the end:Is using a travel advisor worth it? In Episode 20 of “Is It Worth It?”, Scott Showalter looks beyond simply booking hotels and cruises.We’re talking about planning, destination knowledge, groups, complex itineraries, supplier relationships, time savings, advocacy, support, and what happens when the trip doesn’t go according to plan.Because anyone can click a booking button.The real value may be knowing:Which button should you click—and what happens afterward?This episode isn’t about saying everyone needs a travel advisor.It’s about understanding when professional planning becomes valuable.

For this fifth episode I picked something which was the main part of a fun Cruise I went on earlier this year. For my birthday this year, I sailed on a short, 4-day Caribbean Cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas, which is the topic of this episode. I mainly sailed to get kicked up to Diamond Status, as I was 4 tier points short, but the sailing was really nice, and I greatly enjoyed it. I will also go over the Crown and Anchor Club, which is Royal’s Loyalty Program.
