Creator's Key Takeaways

we look to see which ships are most popular and ones that people would actually want to go on or what we would want to go on

everything is optional we always tell them this is your vacation you paid for it so if you want to participate participate

we try to give in gifts at least 10% of our commission

the group is definitely the group no no no the group is just because it keeps it easier on our end as a TA

✓Consider the time of year to avoid peak seasons and high prices
✓Create an email list and wait for at least 50-100 people before committing
