Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises, comments:
“I am exceptionally proud of the entire UK and Ireland team at Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises. They work hard to be the best in the industry, and always strive to enhance their support to our trade partners. A special mention goes to Jo whose ‘outstanding contribution’ is well-known by those who work with her, and is now fittingly recognised by the Association of Cruise Experts. It is an absolute pleasure to be part of such a successful, highly regarded and great team.”
The ‘Cruise Line Sales Team of the Year’ and ‘Cruise Line Sales Person of the Year’ awards were nominated by the agent members of the Association of Cruise Experts (ACE). Agents praised the Celebrity Cruises sales team for being “always available and happy to help with a focus on incentives, training and support.” Major account manager, Ruth Gardiner was highlighted for her “enthusiastic and passionate approach to sales and as a great ambassador for her cruise line.”
Decided by ACE members, the ‘Outstanding Contribution to the UK Cruise Industry’ was awarded to Jo Rzymowska for her “style, passion and unshakeable belief in all that is good in cruising” and for having “helped the cruise industry work together and face the year’s challenges.”
Summing up the ACE Cruise Excellence Awards, Andy Harmer, ACE director said:
“We have recognised some truly outstanding people who have gone over and above expectations in promoting and selling cruise holidays.”
