Do cruise companies bargain?

Business Development Contact Info for Large Cruise Line Companies

• Who is the best business contact at Carnival Cruise Lines or Princess or Royal Carribean to discuss the idea of deploying an application on the cell phone that will provide passengers with any information about the cruise at any time they want it. The application will be written in Java and run on cell phones with full color screens and sound capabilities. This allows the cruise line to extend the experience of the cruise on to the cell phone while also being informational and entertaining. Please include the business title of the contact, name, phone number, email, and location. Thank you.

• Answer:

  etango.. Thanks for your question. Your idea sounds like a great concept! Here are some contacts that may help you get in front of the right people. I have included the US addresses in Florida as the contact information. From a sales perspective, I would call and ask for the contacts listed. Chances are you are not going to get right through to them. You may get a receptionist/"gate keeper". Ask for their email address and let that person know basically what you want to discuss. You may even get a different contact, but I am a firm believer that starting from the top down is the best shot: Princess Cruises 1801 S.E. 20th Street, Terminal #2 PO Box 165201 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 Tel: (954) 525-8520 Fax: (954) 760-7986 Dean Brown Executive Vice-President of Customer Services and Sales Chairman and CEO of Princess tours http://www.f-cca.com/pages/profiles/dean.html Jeffrey Danis V.P., Global Purchasing & Logistics http://www.f-cca.com/pages/profiles/jeffrey.html Royal Carribean Cruise Lines 1050 Caribbean Way Miami, FL 33132 Tel: (305) 539-6000 Fax: (305) 372-0441 Maria Sastre Vice President, Total Guest Satisfaction http://www.f-cca.com/pages/profiles/maria.html Carnival Cruise Lines 3655 N.W. 87th Avenue Miami, FL 33178 Tel: (305) 599-2600 Fax: (305) 471-4700 Roger Blum Vice President, Cruise Programming Brendan Corrigan Sr. Vice President, Cruise Operations Vicki L.
