The fifth ACE UK Cruise Convention took place in Southampton last week, 3-5th May and since then ACE has been inundated with positive feedback. The offical feedback questionnaire is going out to members on 10th May but we wanted to share the amazing emails we've had so far!

Just wanted to let you know that one of our cruise specialists who attended her first Cruise Convention last week and had her first experience of RCCL on the Independence (AND LOVED IT!) confirmed a booking on Saturday on Independence for £9000.00 – 4 passengers who are new to cruise in Balcony cabins!
This just proves that sending front line staff on theses conventions to gain first-hand experience and get enthusiastic about the ships is paramount…
The other staff member who attended also confirmed 2 bookings worth £8500.00 for CCS on Saturday… So it was well worth our investment in sending staff to Southampton!
Thank you to ACE for allowing us the opportunity to continue to gain valuable experience, training and motivation in cruise.

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say Thank You for what I think was the best convention yet! I thought the speakers and business sessions were really useful, and it all seemed to flow really seamlessly.

I just want to say thank you for all your hard work last week, the cruise convention was great and very well organised, and if I am honest I feel better arranged and set up than CLIA in the USA this year.

The convention itself was really enjoyable, and it was good to see the different ships. The food at the Oceana club on Wednesday night was really enjoyable, and a fantastic improvement on last year.

I just wanted to say congratulations on an excellent UKCC, and I hope that you have now recovered from last week’s exertions! Once again, I found it a tremendously beneficial and enjoyable event, and it was lovely to be able to showcase Balmoral to agents and journalists on the first ever ‘Columbus Day’, and the feedback we have received has been extremely positive.

TRAVEL CHANNEL
Being able to meet all the cruise lines in one place was the best part for me as I was able to catch up with people I hadn’t seen in a while and meet others I didn’t know.
FREELANCE JOURNALIST
It was well organised, as always, and there were some really good sessions on the first morning and yesterday's trade fair was really buzzing. All good for networking!
