Jayne Hutson, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Strongsville, Ohio

"I joined Cruises Inc. in June 2007 after a career in sales, which took me to various parts of the world. I was welcomed by a company of professionals who are like an extended family. They are always available for questions and support and continually coming up with new ideas to assist agents in building our business. Cruises Inc. is the perfect opportunity to share my passion for travel with the world and to leverage my experiences in ways that positively impact the lives of others. As a home based agent I feel I have the best of all worlds!"

Vicki Hayes, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2004, Verona WI

"Cruises Inc. has been absolutely incredible in their support of me in growing my business and I can’t say enough about it.  They are a very large family of agents and a corporate headquarters but yet it’s like we are run like a small family business because there is a connection between the staff, the agents and everyone involved." 
Vicki Hayes, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2004, Verona WI 

Dave & Carol Duffell, Cruises Inc. Agents since 2008, West Palm Beach, Florida

"We enrolled in the Cruises Inc. new agent's class in July 2008. We were, at first, overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge you need to become a cruise specialist and operate a profitable business. However, the company's headquarters team is legendary and we could not have had better ongoing support once we got started. The level of support and sharing nature of our fellow agents has been an instrumental lifeline."

Mike Cohen, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2010, Burke, VA

"I was looking forward to retiring for a long time, but I have nothing interesting to do.  My one passion is cruising, so I researched opportunities in the cruise industry.  I learned about Cruises Inc. and joined in July 2010.  I have learned so much from the training team and customer care and have found this to be so much fun.  I have been impressed with how many people have trusted me with their cruise vacations.  I do not have a single negative thing to say about the corporate headquarters staff."

Mike Cohen, Cruises Inc. Agent Since 2010, Burke, VA

 

Kathy Kosmos, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, North Royalton, Ohio

“I was a customer of Cruises Inc. for 20 years.  I talked with my travel agent since I was looking for another career because I had reached that point in my life where I didn’t want to work for corporate America anymore and I wanted to be home.  My agent gave me some information and I also did a lot of my own research on the internet with some other available companies besides Cruises Inc. I thought that with the service I received as a customer I could give the same service to my clients and I already knew that the company was a good company to work with.”

Kathy Kosmos, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, North Royalton, Ohio

 

Donna Smeal, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2004, North Olmsted, Ohio

"As part of the Cruises Inc. team, I have had the opportunity to meet my headquarters staff in person during training and continuing education events. This has created relationships that are powerful tools, helping me learn, grow and succeed in business. The helpful and caring attitude of so many of my fellow Cruises Inc. Agents also helps strengthen the company and has helped us get to where we are today as an industry leader. This is the most outstanding home based business, an enjoyable and profitable experience. If you are looking for a home based host agency with a proven track record, integrity and a family feel...you've found the right one in Cruises Inc.! I hope you will join us and that I can meet you soon."

Tina Williams, Cruises Inc. agent since 2011, Frederick MD

"I think anyone would be a fool to not take advantage of all the tools and resources that are available with Cruises Inc. Although I am an avid cruiser and traveler, I don't intend to re-invent the wheel when this company has everything set out for my success.  I cannot wait to get up and running!"

Tina Williams, Cruises Inc. agent since 2011, Frederick MD

Terry Jones, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Herndon, Virginia

"I have been with Cruises Inc. for nearly a year and a half and I have to say it was the best decision I have made in business. I began working in the travel industry at an airline 20 years ago and have worked at several small and large agencies over the years. There were several parts of me that did not like working for another company; the first being flexibility. I have growing children and aging parents and over the years, it was tough to get time off to take care of my personal needs. Also, the financial struggle that came as a woman in sales was a tough uphill battle. So, I began searching for a way to combine my love for travel with a flexible business endeavor and found Cruises Inc. Here, I can build my own clientele."

Terry Jones, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Herndon, Virginia
 

Bill Gibson, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2008, Cookeville, Tennessee

"I was first introduced to Cruises Inc. as a customer receiving years of excellent service from a now retired Cruises Inc. Cruise & Vacation Specialist.  The training received as well as the ongoing support is top notch.  There is no situation too complicated for the Agent Support team to walk you through, or untangle if you make a mistake.  One of the most exciting things for me is reading the follow-up e-mail my clients receive after booking with me.  It gives me a lot of pride to see this exceptional and upbeat organization looking out for me and my customers in so many ways."
Bill Gibson, Cruises Inc. Agent Since 2008, Cookeville, Tennessee

Ginger Shaffer, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Canyon, Texas

"I joined the Cruises Inc. family in June 2007. It has been a lot of hard work to establish myself and build my own client database, but my hard work is paying off and I am loving every moment of it. After all, what could be better than being your own boss, having the freedom to work from home and enjoying what you do? To top it all off, I have made so many new friends within Cruises Inc. - from our corporate headquarters team to a great group of fellow agents who have become my lifeline. As part of this group, even if you're home-based and working on your own, you never feel alone."

Ginger Shaffer, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Canyon, Texas
 

Carla Beddome, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2003, Rancho Sta Margarita, CA

"After 35 years as a high school teacher, I needed a second career.  Being a Home-based Cruise & Vacation Specialist fits my retired lifestyle and allows me to interact with clients across the nation.  The support and continuing education offered through Cruises Inc. headquarters keeps me motivated and up-to-date.  Cruises Inc. continues to offer innovative marketing opportunities to help me grow my business. Weekly team meetings along with the regional and national conventions provide invaluable education.  This is my eighth year with Cruises Inc., and each time I receive a call from a client, I'm excited to be able to make their travel dreams a reality."

Carla Beddome, Cruises Inc. Agent Since 2003, Rancho Sta Margarita, CA 

Vivian Webb, Cruises Inc. Agent Since 1991, Lynchburg, VA

"I decided to join Cruises Inc, because out of all the business opportunities I researched, the owner was able to speak personally with me.  He told me we were a family!  He told me he would show me what not to do, so I wouldn't repeat mistakes.  I focus on selling, and back office does the rest of the work including customer service.  Am I glad I chose Cruises Inc over other companies? Yes!  Agent support helps in several ways and customer service is the biggest support to my clients, freeing me up to handle customer needs that only I can help them with."

Vivian Webb, Cruises Inc. Agent since 1991, Lynchburg VA

Ben & Lynn Catalina, Cruises Inc. Agents since 1997, Universal City, Texas

"We cruised for the first time in 1995 and then again two years later. After having such wonderful experiences, not only with the cruises but also with our Cruises Inc. Agent, we decided to get into the cruise business ourselves. Our initial goal was not only to support what was to become a cruise habit, but also to see if the cruise sales business could really be a career. We're happy to say it is now our career and we have been on more than 45 cruises all over the world.  It has been a pleasure working with the Cruises Inc. headquarters team in growing our business. With their technology, internal support, and customized marketing programs, we have progressed from part-time agents to among the top three full-time production leaders in the entire company in 2007 and 2008."

Pam & Mike Guilbeau, Cruises Inc. Agents since 2002, Vidor TX

Affiliating with Cruises Inc is like joining a family, not only is it a great company to affiliate with but we receive great support from the back office team as well as from fellow travel agents.   We always wanted to work in the travel industry and the opportunity was presented to us in 2002.  It was absolutely the right decision, we have never looked back and love every minute of it!   Any time we need support, training or service for my customers, all we have to do is call corporate headquarters and they are right there to help with anything we need.   From just one call through the LeadPower Lead Generation program, I sold my first World Cruise.  Since then I have booked that same client on over 15 cruises – all from just one LeadPower lead.  It is truly a blessing to have the flexibility to work from our home and do what we love.  We truly enjoy helping others enjoy hassle-free cruise and land vacations.

Darlene Kane, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2008, Vero Beach, Florida

"After working with another host agency for more than a year and becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of organization, backup, and technology there (not to mention micro-management), I found Cruises Inc. Thankfully! I had searched for another agency for many months and was so impressed with the training program, facilities, and especially the headquarters staff. I joined Cruises Inc. in August 2008. The support and motivation I have received thus far from our customer service department, as well as my team leader, has been phenomenal."

Frank Saurman, Cruises Inc.

"I was the first Outside Salesperson to join Cruises Inc. The date was 1981 (yes, over 26 years with the same company). At that time, Cruise Travel Agencies were in their infancy; in fact, Cruises Inc. was the very first cruise-only travel agency in the U.S. It was fun at that time selling cruise travel to folks who wanted to find their dream vacation and you knew would return "hooked" on cruising. To this day, I still have clients who booked with me then and continue to do so today. Our company has since grown to be an industry leader, primarily because of the support of our corporate headquarters team, from the CEO down to our excellent support staff. They make our job more pleasant and enjoyable."

Frank Saurman, Cruises Inc. Agent since 1982, Palmyra, Virginia
 

David Marshall, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2004, Dacula GA

 Formerly, I was in a biochemistry laboratory. My world was research, not sales. After retirement, I knew I wanted to remain busy doing something that I enjoyed, that this ‘something’ did not seem like a job and I would be able to work from home with no set schedule.  Even though I had no previous sales experience, this opportunity seemed to meet my criteria quite well.  I researched possible business opportunities and decided that Cruises Inc. was the best fit for me.  The initial training program was great and really got me pumped up and I took advantage of every additional learning opportunities. I went to the National Conference, attended Cruise-a-Thon's, and took online training and CLIA courses.  I have been very pleased with the marketing assistance provided by Cruises Inc. The direct mail programs, eSavers, and LeadPower lead generation programs have been a terrific asset for my business. This begins my 8th year and looking back, I am certain that I made the right decision to affiliate with Cruises Inc and would do it all over again.

Donna Philcox, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2008, Seaford, New York

"I'm new to Cruises Inc. I joined in July 2008 and since joining, I can honestly say that I have had the most wonderful interactions with nearly every headquarters team member, including senior management. They are without a doubt the finest, most professional people you could ever find in the travel industry and cruise business, in particular. I wanted to be part of an agency that cared about me, wanted for me to succeed, and helped me get there."

Tony and Amy Botto, Cruises Inc.

"We have had more than nine wonderful years with Cruises Inc. There could not be a better group of people than the ones we work with at our home based office. Any questions or concerns that we have will always be answered immediately or as soon as possible if the answer isn't known right away. Tony and I were only planning on doing this for just a few years after we retired from teaching, but here we are still at it and enjoying it very much! We are looking forward to many more years with our Cruises Inc. family."
