"My CLIA membership has helped me dramatically in my career. All the CLIA courses, ship inspections, Conferences and Seminar’s at Sea I took to become an ECCS, the pinnacle of CLIA certification, has given me the foundation that has formed who I am and what I am capable of doing"

      –Joni Cohen, Elite Cruise Counsellor of the Year 2017
