OK, so let me start off by saying I own the company so there is no conflict here. I am merely trying to find out if I could get credentialed easily to be a TA in order to book the cruises that I am booking every year anyway. I have had a Real Estate license for 25 years and an Insurance license and wanted to find out if getting credentialed to be a TA was similar. For years I have been booking directly with Royal Caribbean with the Casino Royale department since I am also Diamond and Prime for myself and my staff. I started using a TA last year and she has not really given me anything more that what I can get myself. In fact it takes a lot longer using her because I have to text her or email her and wait for a response and then for her to contact RC and back and forth. I can do all that myself in much less time. If any TA on here wants to give me a better deal then I am all ears. I just got back from the Allure of the Seas on Monday that I booked 3 suites and 3 balconies for my staff and we have already put a hold on another cruise in Aug. As well as I have booked the Utopia for 3 suites so far for Oct.
So basically my TA has not been making it worth my while to book through her and I don't see any reason to keep letting her get a commission on my travel for nothing.
