AboutMichael Corbo Expertise I can answer questions in the category of Royal Caribbean regarding their ships, itineraries, cabin selection and categories, pricing, ports of call and anything related to booking or taking a cruise on Royal Caribbean. I can also help in directing people where or how to get the best price on a cruise.
Questions I can not answer would include anything regarding breaking Royal Caribbean's rules and terms of carriage, such as how do I sneak alcohol on board, or how do I get a free upgrade.
Experience I have sailed with Royal Caribbean several times over the last few years and am scheduled to cruise on their latest ship, Oasis of the Seas in 2010. I am a member of their Crown and Anchor Society for past cruisers. I have been a travel agent for the last 9 years and a member of allexperts in the category of Disney Travel since 2001.
Education/Credentials As a travel agent, I have graduated from the Royal Caribbean University of WOW as an Expert Plus. I am also currently enrolled in CLIA's (Cruise Line Industry Association) Accredited Cruise Counselor program. ACC certification is an intense year long process that gives you recognition in the travel industry a cruise expert.
