This week I first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including big brands partnering together, the government's new rules for airlines, and so much more.  Later, I'm joined by two guests: Cat Brask, Marketing Director at Northstar Travel Group and LaTasha Henderson, travel advisor with 2B1 Travel by Dream Vacations.  We talk about the CruiseWorld event - how it goes beyond cruising, how travel advisors can benefit, the epic lineup for ship inspections this year, and much more. Brask and Henderson also share insights into the STAR program that is available for all travel advisors.  The interview on CruiseWorld begins after the 14-minute mark.
