Princess Cruises Ambassador
Gavin MacLeod – best known
as Captain Merrill Stubing from
The Love Boat – made a surprise
appearances at Cruise3Sixty last
Fri to make a big announcement.
In town for a number of Princess
engagements, MacLeod told C360
delegates that the 2014 CLIA
Australasia Masters Conference
will take place on a seven-night
Princess Cruise to Mexico.
Stubing said the event will take
place aboard Crown Princess,
the first time the line has hosted
the annual combination of sales
sessions with a relaxing cruise.
On breaks between sessions,
attendees will visit Puerto Vallarta,
Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada
during the round trip sailing.
“I thought I had the best job
in cruising, but seems like I’ve
got some competition from CLIA
cruise agents,” MacLeod quipped.
Sales guru and motivator Scott
Koepf will again ply his techniques
during the conference, departing
Los Angeles on 15 Nov.

and president Christine Duffy and
