Filling in time in Chicago airport waiting for my flight to Zurich.

MarnaLou thanks for asking this question.

To be honest I would prefer you do not point to me as a TA to others on board. It can be somewhat uncomfortable for them and for me. I do not think it is appropriate or ethical to do anything that would promote my services as a TA on a ship. I never tell anyone that I am a TA that I meet on a ship and always mention my other business, although I have had people when my name is mentioned ask if i am the same Ngaire that is a TA. Then of course I have no alternative but to confirm that.

When people are referred to me by satisfied clients I sincerely appreciate the referral and that is how a business grows. However, that is a different situation than me being on the ship and getting referrals.

The common thread of LCT is the key here that is the factor that bought us together. Just like Cruise Critic anyone with any TA is welcome as a member.

With the groups we have been involved with in the past we have always mingled with others and invited them into the fold so to speak. The only thing we cannot invite people to are the Brown and Keene cocktail party and dinner in La Verandah that is limited to only clients of mine. It would be inappropriate and the ship would not be happy if we invited people who were not Brown and Keene clients. So please dont invite anyone to that function.

As to Signatures, we all know the nights that we will have dinner together in La Verandah and dinner with the staff so please make independent arrangements at Signatures on those other free nights. Do this as soon as you board to be sure you get accommodated.
