I started with Cruise Planners in May 2019. I was very new to the industry. (I had started with another home-based company approximately 8 months prior, but received minimal support. In those 8 months, I only had a handful of bookings, and several of them were my own.) While attending the CLIA conference in April of 2019, I saw alot of people wearing the "CP green" shirts. So, I started asking some of them about Cruise Planners. Every single person I spoke with said they absolutely LOVED Cruise Planners and they were very happy with their decision to join the CP family. After more research, I decided to make the switch. I am extremely happy that I did! The support I've received in my first year with Cruise Planners has been fantastic. The technology is state of the art. My coaches have been very responsive to my TONS of questions. In addition, having access to the CP Facebook page has allowed me to obtain a significant amount of information from my colleagues. (Being able to ask a question on our Facebook page and immediately receive a number of responses is very helpful.) The Home Office is very responsive to feedback and to our individual needs. I truly feel that the Home Office wants me to succeed. I set a goal for myself to make the company's Top 50 list within my first five years. I was able to accomplish my goal within my first year- even with the COVID situation in full swing! I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the Cruise Planners opportunity.

Best decision my wife and I made was to purchase a Cruise Planners franchise. We both retired early from the Federal Government as financial regulators. We sort of fell into this retirement career from knowing another Cruise Planner travel advisor. We did our due diligence and discovered Cruise Planners was the number one rated home-based travel franchises. The training and support are top notch and the enthusiasm from the management team is infectious and inspiring. Not only do we get to plan vacations for friends and friends of friends, we have had the benefits of traveling the world. It starts slow and with no real magic, other than providing good service, our clientele continues to expand each year. The COVID years were depressing, but we have bounced back with a vengeance, reaching over $1 million in sales for 2023. I’ve met other non-CP agents at various travel events and though our conversations, it has only re-enforced that we made the right decision with our investment with the Cruise Planners family.

My wife and I joined Cruise Planners in 2012 after successful careers in totally different industries. We were drawn to the business-in-a-box simplicity of the franchise model, the vast amount of training and education, the vendor relationships, the technology, the marketing and our passion for travel itself.

Every day I revalidate that this was a great decision. We have learned to value all of the above mentioned items, as well as the tremendous home office support, the constant improvements in client acquisition tools, client communication tools, marketing programs, proprietary technology and so much more.

I loved my previous career however I wish I had found Cruise Planners twenty years earlier.

I started with Cruise Planners in April of 2023. I had always been interested in travel and I am reaching the age where I am thinking of retiring but I want something to do to have a little income to go with retirement. Someone had said they were a travel agent and I asked them about it and they sent me the link to Cruise Planners. I have been impressed by almost everything that I have looked at. The people that work there truly act like they enjoy what they are doing. Everyone that I talk with about helping me with anything I need help with have been very helpful. While there is more to this business than I have ever imagined I am impressed by how much they have access to and how helpful they are to make me succeed. They are not concerned with how much I do only by how much I want to do and they want to help me accomplish that whether it is a sale a month or the top salesman in the company they will help me to succeed with my goals.

I purchased my franchise in 2017 and just love being part of the Cruise Planners family. CP is always so supportive to my business and you can see everyone loves their position. CP is so innovative and always doing everything they can to support their advisors. So happy I chose to purchase my CP business and become part of this beautiful family!

We have been Cruise Planners for 19 years and have enjoyed the increasing support from this great company. We have 2 associates who enjoy being Cruise Planners agents. We would recommend Cruise Planners to anybody who wants to sell travel. We hope to be Cruise Planners franchise owners for another 10 years.

I joined Cruise Planners in the Fall of 2018 when I decided that I was tired of working for others and wanted to work for myself for a change. I already had a background in corporate meetings, events and travel and did a lot of research online into home-based agencies and I ultimately chose Cruise Planners due to the background of the owners, the relationships with travel suppliers and the technology and support offered. When Covid hit I was just starting to see my business take off (they say it takes about 2 years) and I was devastated. I had no idea if I was going to be able to maintain my business with no income coming in. The executives of Cruise Planners had our backs! I could not have been more impressed with how they stepped up to support the franchise owners during that difficult time. I was able to eek through and keep my business afloat until travel started up again. Last year, I could definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. Bookings were up and I was starting to make money. Right now, we're only halfway through 2023 and I have already tripled my sales from last year and my commission projections for next year are actually already more than what I've made to date this year. I am so glad I chose Cruise Planners and I'm glad I stuck with it. Being a Travel Advisor is not a cake-walk, by any means, so if you're thinking this is an easy-peasey stay-at-home job, thing again! I work a lot of hours to provide the best service to my clients but I love what I do and I appreciate all of the training and technology that CP offers to help me do my best. And they continue to evolve and grow and therefore, so shall I! You can't go wrong choosing to join the CP Green Team. If you decide to join CP, tell them I sent you :)

Cruise Planners is amazing. I am a home-based agent, but I'm never alone. My host agency is obsessed with my success. I have a dedicated business coach who is instumental in my training and my growth. The Care Team is readily available for the one-off questions. Cruise Planners technology is absolutely top-notch (I worked in tech prior to being in the travel industry) and makes it so easy to run my business.

Cruise Planners has long-standing relationships with vendors, and the "team in green" carries a lot of weight in the industry. Becoming a Cruise Planners agent was one of the smartest things I've ever done.

I am so grateful for all of the resources Cruise Planners has provided for their Travel Advisors. They have definitely been listening to all of the requests and comments from Franchise Owners. I joined CP from another large agency two years ago and I am completely blown away by the level of support we have received, especially in the last 6 months. That other agency would not have supported or backed me up the way that Cruise Planners has.

Since COVID-19 began, our corporate executives, Michelle and Vicky, amaze me each week with updates. I loved the Rocky Balboa analogy today. I have been down in the dumps all week about my business and the state of things. Thank you to all Home Office and team for the sacrifices being made. We all know this isn't easy but having you guys in our corner empowers me to keep my business moving.
