William and Lenora Chapin love to travel and their favorite way to see the world is from a cruise ship. Cruising offers many benefits, but one of the most appreciated is the combination of transportation and lodging that eliminates the constant packing, unpacking and moving of luggage from one destination to the next. William Chapin also believes you can cover a lot more territory aboard a ship.

We love cruises because it is such an easy way to see a lot of places,” Chapin said. The Chapins have been members of Cruise, Travel and Attractions for about two years and have taken full advantage of this fantastic travel resource. And CTA makes it easy with cruises on big-name cruise lines.

For the most part, if you want to take a memorable vacation and get the most for your hard-earned cash, you have two options: You can sacrifice price in the name of convenience by seeking the services of a traditional travel agent, or you can spend countless hours searching Google, Yahoo, Bing and the other search engines all hours of the day and night, anxiously looking and hoping for airlines and cruise companies to temporarily drop their prices – and hoping you catch it!

But there’s a better way that marries safety and savings of your time and money – one that fits your schedule, fulfills your dreams and falls within the guidelines of your own budget. Cruises, Travel and Attractions (CTA), as seen on The Travel Channel, is now open in Tampa, Florida and offering discounts and services to Florida residents.
