Royal Caribbean Intl. Puts
Card Mills on a
"No-Book" Status!

In a move applauded by HomeBasedTravelAgent.com, Royal Caribbean Intl. is immediately terminating their business relationships with known "Card Mills". Royal Caribbean International (Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara cruise lines) should be thanked by all travel agents and immediately rewarded for taking such a bold move with new business from you.

You now have a choice when you book cruise lines. There are those that support card mills and those that don't. You need to think twice about booking with cruise lines that endorse the sale of travel agent credentials to your clients.

Royal Caribbean International
....You are the BEST!

Host Agencies

I get tons of e-mail and telephone calls from folks wanting me to suggest a host agency to them, or worse, ask me what I think about this host agency or that one. Look I have organized a list of host agencies that I feel are the most credible in the industry. You can see the list by clicking Here. The "host" agencies that have been sanctioned by Royal Caribbean Intl. and put on a "No Book" status should speak volumes to you. Of course none of these "host" travel companies have ever been on my list.
