Creator's Key Takeaways

The commission is great. You make really great commission.

Passports are so important. And I know it's an additional cost, but this far out they can get all of their documents together.

You cannot book two kids in one cabin. They have to be either 21 or above.

Always ask. You should be asking this for everything that you're booking, whether it's land, cruise, uh, fits, all-inclusive resorts. Ask. There's Everything's on sale.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Start booking group cruises at least 6 months to one year out.
βœ“Get a committed passenger list with a cutoff date and deposit ready.
βœ“Ensure each cabin has an adult 25 years or older and children are referenced with special codes.
βœ“Always ask for gross pricing, not net pricing, when dealing with cruise lines.
βœ“Sell pre and post cruise nights to increase commission.
