Zlatko Simovski (The Cruise Insider)

"I worked on cruise ships, and I gave it everything I had.

I spent six years watching people step onto the ship—to celebrate, to heal, to reconnect, or to finally take the trip they promised themselves they’d do “one day”

And anyone who met me onboard immediately knew they had an ally. I enjoyed the travel, but what I enjoyed even more was the relief in their eyes when I was able to help them get it right.

But while I was building a career at sea, I wasn't there for the people I love the most. Now, I can't make up for that, but I can still keep the promise I made to my mother and take her on a cruise-on one of the ships I used to describe to her with admiration over the phone.

Actually, I created The Ultimate Cruise Bundle just to raise enough money to make that happen.

However, don't buy the bundle because of the story behind it. Do it because of the exciting stories in the diary, the tools that make planning your cruise effortless, and the cruise guide built on my firsthand experience and insights from friends working across various departments onboard. Together, we've spent more than 90 years at sea, and we have (countless times) seen every possible mistake cruisers make. That gives me the confidence that this bundle will help you get far more out of every cruise you take."
