For my first attempt at the consumer side of travel, Cruise Brothers has been really great! No upfront money required, I can hustle or quietly make my own travel plans with a bit of a kick back to myself. I was lucky to have landed a great team leader. And like all the other posts have mentioned - you get what you put in. It is slow to start, but I think Cruise Brothers is an excellent way to try the travel industry with out a lot of risk. I have a full time job and I go to school part time, so travel is for my "fun".
I just joined with Cruise Brothers and so far I have been having the opposite experience from what everyone here has had. The gentleman whom I speak with is doing a training session with me this Wednesday and he responds to me right away either by phone or email even on weekends. Now I have paid for the site yet but I'm going to give it a little time. I just don't want to pay $100 for a site until I see how things go. I was told I don't have to have the site in order to book. I haven't paid for a site yet. But, I plan to depending on how training goes and other things. He didn't push it. My rating is based on my experience so far. I have my contract at home that says what they charge for the website so they can't do something else. If things don't go we'll with training on Wednesday or something comes up that I don't like then ill be back to change my review. But, so far everything has been fine- very helpful quick replies. Good luck to everyone. I know their customers/clients give them great reviews
get no help at all..stranded . i had some Spanish speaking clients,so i ask could some one help me book and i will share the commission,they were rude told me i am on my own,and so i turned the client to someone there who spoke Spanish..she never thanked me,or anything..
I signed up with Cruise Brothers because there was no initial sign-up fee. Other than that... nothing good to say.
This host was a waste of time and energy. It took so long to get signed up only because everyone there could not get organized enough. They gave me a number to call and told me to call and "inside manager" and when I called asking for that, they didn't even know what that was. There was no training on how to work with them. The online seminar was just a sales pitch. They claimed to have an agent forum, but it was closed and they had no plans to open it to agents. They said you can get a website for a certain price, but when you try to get it the price was at a higher price. They said they would fix that, but after 1 month of no training, not being to get a hold of anyone, and complete frustration. I just went somewhere else. I would avoid them, there are so many more hosts out there that really provide for you.
Thanks for the review. I saw their ad posted on CL and called them, and now the rep has called and emailed me every day since. But my gut was telling me to wait. I am so glad I did. Out of all the hosts I have reviewed so far on this site, they are the only one with one star...
