JOHN L. SHAW (MCC)

John Shaw was fortunate to be able to turn his favorite pastime into a career---travel, especially cruising. He had been helping friends and planning trips for organizations for years and in 1996 had the opportunity to make a career change. He became a full time travel agent specializing in cruises and leisure travel. He is a CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) certified Master Cruise Counsellor (MCC). To become accredited you must pass 6 tests, attend a 3-day seminar, do 20 ship inspections and take 5 cruises of various lengths. He has also completed a "Destination Mexico" seminar, "Hawaii Travel Academy", and a "Sandals Resort" class. He is also a certified Small Ship Expert. Small ships are vessels that carry less than 200 passengers. John is also very knowledgeable about Handicap Travel.

His goal is to provide you with thorough and reliable travel service. To John, service is more than just booking a cruise or vacation. His integrity and knowledge help guide you to determine the right trip for you.

CAROL SHAW (MCC)
Carol is John's wife of 14 years and he introduced her to cruising on their honeymoon. They travel as often as possible and she shares his love of cruising. She is also a CLIA certified Master Cruise Counsellor, but prefers to spend her time in the background updating this web site, handling the correspondence, editing and designing flyers, learning the bookkeeping system and taking care of other office matters. She has been on all of the ships that John has been on so we won't list them again. Carol also has attended the Hawaii Travel Academy and intends to participate in many other certification programs.

The Accredited (ACC) and Master (MCC) Cruise Counsellor designation is conferred by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) upon dedicated travel professionals who have completed an extensive program of classroom training, cruise experience, ship inspections, and a combination of video training and attendance at industry events. A CLIA Certified Cruise Counsellor is your best resource in choosing a perfect vacation.
