Hi JP.

As I understand it there are different levels of commission earned depending upon the individual cruiseline (they're not all the same) and the volume a given agency books with a particular cruise line.

Now for the obvious question...why would you request a commission kick back in the form of shipboard credit from your TA? Why wouldn't you have just gone to an online agency if you were more concerned about saving $$ than using a full service agent? I've never been a TA, but I have worked at a 100% commission job for 25+ years. The operative word IMHO is commission "EARNED".
