The SKYPE application is like being there.” Lyricists (for a fee) can also have their lyrics put to music.

Recent projects include (Hip Hop) Lyricist James Cook ”Inner City Girl”, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l40yEokYg5s), which received a 4 star rating in the Loggins Promotions Radio test.

Free Travel Insurance Offered with Cruise Reservations

Free Travel Insurance Offered with Cruise Reservations











Free Cruise Travel Insurance


Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) June 30, 2011

Cruise Vacation Discount Company CruiseNow.com announced today a new unique opportunity for all cruise vacationers. Starting immediately every cruise reservation made through CruiseNow.com that is 5 nights or longer will receive free cruise travel insurance to protect the customer’s investment.

This offer is extremely unique inside the cruise industry. Travel or trip insurance is one of the most important pieces of the cruise reservation and can sometimes cost consumers hundreds of additional dollars. Executives at CruiseNow.com have decided to offer this piece of the reservation completely free of charge for their customers. The offer officially starts on July 1st, but a soft launch roll out of the program is currently online and available to cruise customers. In addition this promotion is offered to all new and existing customers of CruiseNow.com and is available to both online reservations and reservations made using a CruiseNow Personal Cruise Guide.

The savings for consumers is actually quite strong. For example a cruise vacation costing $ 2500 for a 60 year old passenger would cost that customer an additional $ 162 in insurance premium. That premium is paid for by CruiseNow.com when booked with the company. “We are very excited to offer this value to our customers. Cruise Insurance is something every passenger needs and our ability to offer it free of charge is a real benefit for our clients”, says John Keen CEO of CruiseNow.com.

The free cruise insurance promotion is offered on almost every cruise line represented by CruiseNow.com. The only stipulation is that the length of the cruise must be 5 nights or longer to qualify for the free trip insurance. Also the end date of the promotion has not yet been announced. Company officials are quiet about that, as they monitor its adoption and success. Early indication is that cruise passengers are taking notice and cruise reservations at CruiseNow.com are up dramatically during this soft launch.

About CruiseNow.com

The next generation in online cruise travel, CruiseNow.com is proud to bring cruising enthusiasts around the country a number of new, exciting technologies to find the best discount cruises possible. With its innovative CruiseText® and in-depth CruiseCast videos, finding the best deals is easy, and with the best prices and friendliest service around, your dream cruise starts here. Live Now. Dream Now. Cruise Now.

P&O Cruises Anchors 20,000 Facebook Fans











P&O Cruise Holiday Fans


(PRWEB) October 15, 2010

P&O Cruises reached a new milestone yesterday, securing 20,000 fans on the popular social networking site Facebook.

The start of the annual cruise season on October 1 helped to bolster interest in cruising holidays and propel fans over the 20,000 mark, with P&O Cruises’ Facebook members growing by more than 1000 in the past fortnight.

Jenny Lourey, Senior Vice President of Carnival Australia, which operates P&O Cruises, said reaching 20,000 fans was a great achievement for the cruise line and its campaign to boost communication with its passengers and expand the cruising experience.

“P&O Cruises’ growing following on Facebook not only reflects the increasing popularity of cruising amongst Australians, it also demonstrates that P&O Cruises really is Australia’s favourite cruise line,” Ms Lourey said.

“It is great to see that our online community are enjoying what P&O Cruises has to offer, not only when they are at sea but also back on land.”

Since its creation in 2009, the P&O Cruises’ Facebook page has been home to thousands of cruise-related posts, discussion boards, photos and events, providing a great source of holiday advice and interaction for Australian cruise fanatics.

Ms Lourey said the cruise line had just introduced Facebook gatherings on upcoming cruises in response to growing enthusiasm from members to rally with other cruise lovers from the site whilst onboard.

The first Facebook roll call on Pacific Sun’s September 28 cruise from Newcastle was a resounding success and future celebrations have been planned on Pacific Jewel and Pacific Dawn cruises.

P&O Cruises’ Facebook page aims to bring those new to cruising and past passengers together to share tips, cruising stories, discover the latest cruise & holiday offers, and keep up-to-date on cruise news across the entire fleet.

To become a fan yourself visit P&O Cruises on Facebook. The website offers details on P&O holiday packages available and travel information on cruise holiday destinations.
