CruiseOne & Cruises Inc. Invest $1 Million To Upgrade Systems To Better Serve Members & Their Cruise Travel Customers
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., July 16, 2007 – CruiseOne, a leading U.S. franchise operation of more than 500 independent cruise-only travel professionals, and Cruises Inc., the nation's original host agency network with more than 500 independent contractors, have invested over one million dollars to completely upgrade their servers and systems in order to ensure smooth operations and faster response time to cruise customer requests.

"The speed of our new state-of-the-art infrastructure is sure to please our members and provide them with a more robust experience," said Sandi Szalay, Vice President, Information Technology. "Additionally, our upgraded hardware, software, and network will provide greater redundancy and scalability for the future growth of the business. Our system infrastructure continues to run at a category five hurricane resistant facility, which will protect our members and customer data and keep our booking systems and web sites operational even in the most severe weather, both during and after a major hurricane."

CruiseOne and Cruise Inc. have already spent over twenty million dollars in research and development on their proprietary system called Cruise Control. This system enables members' real-time access to the best cruise pricing available, and also includes a built-in CRM and back-office tools to ensure members the opportunity to better serve their customers. Known throughout the industry as the best-in-class system, Cruise Control was specifically built to serve the network of home-based professionals.
