PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND, May 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Cruise Amour, the online travel agency, has announced the launch of its new Find Me a Cruise tool.
Although the Cruise Amour website is already the fastest UK cruise agency site and one of the easiest to navigate, managing director Tim Hurrell was keen to introduce the tool: "Giving our customers the best possible on-line experience has always been our goal. We're passionate about getting the customer experience right, so when it came to deciding on whether to introduce a tool which makes it even easier for customers to find their dream holiday - of course we said yes.
"Customers can now choose our easy to use search or, if they're feeling a little bit lazy, are short on time or perhaps can't find what they are looking for, then they can now simply complete a find a me cruise request and let our specialist do the work for them."
The Find Me a Cruise tool works by first asking the customer a few questions about their holiday preferences and for their contact details. It then checks for cruises that match the customer's requirements and sends the enquiry to a cruise specialist, before confirming to the customer that the request has been sent. The specialist then uses their knowledge, experience and the cruises previously found by the system to come up with a number of options for the customer to choose from.
As with all Cruise Amour on-line systems, each request is fully tracked from the outset ensuring that every enquiry is dealt with promptly and to the customer's satisfaction.
Commercial assistant, Russ Goodall, added: "Since introducing the Find Me a Cruise tool we have seen a notable uplift in online enquiries and subsequent bookings. Customer reactions to the tool seem to be extremely positive with the biggest increase in enquiries coming outside of normal business hours."
Although customer adoption has been good, over the next few months Cruise Amour will be talking with customers who have used the tool to find out how we can improve it further and make it even more useful.
The Cruise Amour's Find Me a Cruise tool can be found on Cruise Amour's website at http://www.cruiseamour.co.uk.

Simple fitness test could predict long-term risk for heart attack, stroke in middle-aged people
2011-05-19
DALLAS – May 18, 2011 – How fast can you run a mile?
If you're middle-aged, the answer could provide a strong predictor of your risk of heart attack or stroke over the next decade or more.
In two separate studies, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found that how fast a middle-age person can run a mile can help predict the risk of dying of heart attack or stroke decades later for men and could be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease for women.
In one recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers analyzed the heart ...
When rising PSA means prostate cancer is in patient's future
2011-05-19
CHICAGO --- A man's rising PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level over several years – which had been seen as a possible warning sign of prostate cancer – has recently come under fire as a screening test because it sometimes prompts biopsies that turn out to be normal.
A new study, however, shows nearly 70 percent of men who had rising PSA levels and subsequent normal biopsies were eventually diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to research from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The trend of a PSA level over several years is called PSA velocity. ...

Nottingham scientists reveal genetic 'wiring' of seeds
2011-05-19
The genetic 'wiring' that helps a seed to decide on the perfect time to germinate has been revealed by scientists for the first time.
Plant biologists at The University of Nottingham have also discovered that the same mechanism that controls germination is responsible for another important decision in the life cycle of plants — when to start flowering.
Their discovery throws light on the genetic mechanisms that plants use to detect and respond to vital environmental cues and could be a significant step towards the development of new crop species that are resistant to ...
Preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS with humanized BLT mice
2011-05-19
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The more than 2.7 million new HIV infections recorded per year leave little doubt that the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to spread globally. That's why there's the need for safe, inexpensive and effective drugs to successfully block HIV transmission.
A new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine further validates the use of humanized BLT mice in the fight to block HIV transmission. The "BLT" name is derived from the fact that these designer mice are created one at a time by introducing human bone marrow, liver ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance with no magnets
2011-05-19
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a scientific technique associated with outsized, very low temperature, superconducting magnets, is one of the principal tools in the chemist's arsenal, used to study everything from alcohols to proteins to such frontiers as quantum computing. In hospitals the machinery of NMR's cousin, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is as loud as it is big, but nevertheless a mainstay of diagnosis for a wide range of medical conditions.
It sounds like magic, but now two groups of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National ...
