Tui agent reveals 2,000th cruise booking celebration plans

Assistant store manager Rachel Liversidge, who has spent 24 years with Tui and now works at its store in The Moor, Sheffield, has sold an average of 75 cruises a year.

Asked how she manages to book so many cruises, Liversidge put her success down to identifying customers who favour city breaks, completing training programmes and taking time to read through cruise line offers.

“I’ve seen a big change in cruising over the years,” Liversidge tells TTG. “Cruising used to be for one type of customer, but now there’s a cruise for everybody – they’re more affordable.”

Liversidge reckons she has sold around 1,800 cruise bookings during her career.

“I want to get more than 2,000,” she insists. “My boss Luke [Ashmore] said he’ll take me out for a drink when I book my 2,000th. He’s been at the store nearly as long as I have.”
