Cruise Planners

I have been with Cruise Planners for 7 years now. I was a professional Chef for over 40 years in corporate America. I never sold anything. I purchased my franchise with the expectation of selling a little travel and had no real goals. I engaged with my coaches and applied the tools that Cruise planners provided me and it has been a great run. I highly recommend this great organization. They have the best tools in the business, great support and an IT team that kills it every time. I love that we are like a family, and everyone is willing to help each other. I have made many friends that both work for Cruise Planners and other Franchise owners.

I purchased my Cruise Planners franchise in May of 2023 and I couldn't be happier! The Home Office and Executive teams are amazing! I have been to several training events and have learned so much. The technology is top-notch and everyone is willing to answer questions and help. I am very excited for many more years with Cruise Planners.

I purchased my franchise in early 2020 at an incredibly scary time for the travel industry but I would honestly do it again if I had to. Joining the Cruise Planners family was one of the best decisions of my life! Besides being able to just get myself out of the corporate world and run my agency full-time, I was also able to retire my husband from the corporate world and he now helps me run the agency. It's been a whirlwind experience and it's only been 4 years but I am incredibly grateful for our amazing leadership team at Home Office and the amazing support we get both on the technology side of things but also on the day-to-day operations via the care team. My husband and I have convinced probably over 10 families to invest in themselves and to purchase a franchise at this point. I know companies like to say they are the best all the time, even if they are not, but the amount of awards Cruise Planners wins every year from both suppliers and the industry as a whole speaks for itself. When the CEO sends you a get-well card when you're sick, you know you have found your home!

The success of our business can be greatly attributed to the incredible support we get from the Cruise Planners leaders and team. The resources they make available to us, and the backup we receive when we ask for help, are nonpareil. Systems are the most efficient I have worked with in my long career, and the IT folks are incredibly helpful when we need a hand to use them properly.

Setting sail with Cruise Planners as my guide in January 2023 has been the adventure of a lifetime. I knew I was in for a ride, but, wow, it's surpassed all expectations! What really anchors me to this incredible company is the stellar support system - coaches at the home office and fellow franchise owners aren't just colleagues; they're like navigators and cheerleaders all rolled into one.

Whether I'm penciling in a one-on-one with a coach, dropping an email with a quick query, or calling in with a challenge, the response is swift, supportive, and savvy. The home office crew has my back every step of the way. And it's not all about the nitty-gritty of business; it's about building a community, sharing the spirit of adventure, and growing together.
To the exceptional Cruise Planners team and my cohort of franchisees - thank you for filling my sails with relentless enthusiasm and guiding me through this thrilling entrepreneurial journey. Here's to the many more shared successes and the amazing adventures ahead!

We have had a great experience with this CP franchise. The Executive Team, Corporate Staff and other franchisees have been really supportive. We have grown our sales year over year by implementing the ideas and tools available to us through the franchise. The automation and training made available to franchisees is impressive and easy to use.

When I started selling travel, I never imagined I was be as successful as I am. A big part of the reason my business has grown is due to the support & tools I receive from Cruise Planners. I have a business coach who I don't have to pay for when I need help and who supports me in the way I need support and who doesn't try to fit me into the mold. The training I've received is better than any other industry where I've received training. Best of all, Cruise Planners is a family. I don't feel like I am in competition with other Cruise Planners agents because we are always trying to help each other be successful. Give them a call and talk to them if you are interested in becoming part of the family. You won't regret it....I haven't.

I started with Cruise Planners in 2011, and it has been the best decision I have ever made. Cruise Planners lets us operate our agencies exactly the way we want (within guidelines, of course), and it's this flexibility that has helped me create a business that has been meaningful and lucrative. Most folks want to retire from work as soon as possible. With this Cruise Planners franchise, I can continue to work as long as I want, fashioning the business to my particular needs. Fabulous tools are provided to us, not to mention beautiful websites, constant communication, and a team of people who truly care. Cruise Planners is THE BEST.
