chees Posted April 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2017 For those of you familiar with her or her travel agency, I was very shocked to get an email from Lori's husband today about her passing. She was only 52 and I have cruised with her and worked with her for many years. So very sad. She will be missed. Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the2ofus Posted April 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I am not familiar with her actual name. Could you please give us her CC name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRQfireman Posted April 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I don't think she posts on here. She has owned a Travel Agency for probably 20 years and did A LOT of cruise business. For being a small agency, she could compete with anybody on pricing.....she could easily go head to head with the "big boys". She has had 2 agents working for her for close to 20 years. One guy and one gal did an excellent job working for her keeping her good (business) name in good standings with a ton of people. Lori was a great person who always took great care of her clients. I can't of course mention the agency, but if you heard it, I'm sure a lot of people would know it. R.I.P. Lori.......those angels up there will need a vacation also :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocJohnB Posted April 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Lori's agency was in Little Rock, Arkansas. Lori and another agent got together back in '98 and formed a group cruise. That is where I first met her. A lovely lady and a darn good cruise agent. Although Lori was not closely tied with that group for a while, we still cruise together 2-3 times a year 18+ years later. She will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinknock50 Posted April 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Just think....very tall buildings and you will get the idea.;) I believe I booked once with Lori. I just don't remember if I had to later cancel that cruise. At any rate, I remember her being a very nice lady. Rest in Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted April 1, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks of ghe info and avain, my condolences to all who lost a friend. I went to another forum I used to visit often,(but have not been to in moer than 10+ years) lI tried to log in and was told my 'user name was already taken.. Yes, already taken by me. :) I had not been tghere for so long, I was 'lost.' in the 'inventory., I suspect. I the name Lore Cunningham is ringing a bell with me and it likely is from that forum. I wanted to express my condolences to people on that forum but cannot log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubba23 Posted April 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I booked with her on RCCL Allure of the Seas and sailed April 2016. I live in CA and booked by phone so we spoke a few times. She is my age so it really hits home. My condolences to her family, friends and business associates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUZBUDS Posted April 6, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We will also miss Lori and became acquainted with her back in the rec.travel.cruises days --- We never met, but we have booked dozens of cruises with her over the years. We are currently on the Star Princess. We were looking forward to a cross country retirement trip. We where going to include going through Arkansas and planned to take Lori and Non out to lunch. We received an email from her husband earlier in our current cruise. --- We are very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been so many years I completely forgot. It appears to be a google group now and is still active. That might have been where I "met" Lori.

We are currently on the Star Princess. .................. We received an email from her husband earlier in our current cruise. --- We are very sad. This could have been our post as well, We've booked over 30 cruises with Lori and her agency, never met her in person, but feel like we've been long time friends. I didn't see Jacob's email until we pulled into San Pedro on the Star. How sad and what a shock to us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecslady Posted April 9, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 9, 2017 OMG! Lori has been my travel agent for years and years. So sorry to her family for the loss. And, so sorry for the wonderful agents that worked with her. She will be missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyp1234 Posted April 10, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I just found out about this today. I too, came across Lori in rec.travel.cruises and we booked with her somewhere back in 2000 or 2001 then finally got around to another cruise a couple years ago. When we were thinking about another is when I found out. Our first cruise booked with Lori we actually cruised with her on the Grand Princess and it was its 1st anniversary cruise.

motherchic Posted April 13, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I also received an email. We have used her as out TA for years. It always amazed me the deals she could give. I was very sad to hear of her death. She was young, does anyone know what the cause of her death was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovely12no Posted April 30, 2017 #21 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yes, Lori was an extraordinary travel agent. We were totally shocked to hear of her sudden transition. 52 is young! She worked with us on a number of cruises and we always ended up with just the best cabins, pricing, perks and customer service. Our hearts go our to her family and friends. Blessings and prayers.

Cruisinita Posted August 7, 2017 #22 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Very sorry to hear the news. My condolences to her family. Lori booked a few cruises for me several years ago but we lost touch. I recently found an old correspondence with her name on it and decided to see if she was still in business and was shocked to learn she passed away in March. Rest in Peace Lori!
