People tell me almost daily that they’re so jealous of me. Why? Because I have the coolest job on the planet! What could be more exciting than traveling to fabulous places? I spend every day helping people plan trips to amazing places all over the world. Friends and strangers have told me that I light up when I talk about my business. This is my tenth year in business, and I still love going to work every day.
I did a lot of research before choosing CruiseOne. I spoke with many agents from several different companies. I ended up choosing CruiseOne for several reasons. Their technology was superior to the competition, which was very important to me. CruiseOne agents were willing and eager to answer all of my questions (and now I do the same when I get calls from people interested in a franchise). And I liked the person that I was working with at CruiseOne. He was patient, answering all of my questions honestly. He didn’t pressure me to make a decision. Other companies I called used a more high-pressure approach, calling constantly and pressuring me. For all of these reasons, I knew CruiseOne was the right company for me.
I have never regretted my decision to start this business. Our headquarters staff are a pretty amazing team! But here’s what I love most about CruiseOne. We are all a team, headquarters and agents. We don’t see each other as competition. We all help each other, and cheer each other on. I’ve learned so much over the years and continue to learn from my fellow franchisees. And I pass along as much knowledge as I can. I am proud to be a part of this great family.

My name is Janet DeVito. I have just celebrated my 14th year as a Franchisee of CruiseOne. I have maintained my Franchisee through raising my 5 children, sometimes working part time through the years and returning full time 4 years ago.
Over the years the training and support I receive as a Franchisee has been flawless. CruiseOne support is always easy to reach via phone with a smile (and yes, you can feel the smile over the phone!) and the help I need with courtesy and expert knowledge. I would rate Support services a 10 +.
As a Franchisee of CruiseOne I have the best of both worlds. I am in effect running my own business, yet at the same time have the back up of Support, continuous training and marketing professionals at my fingertips. The marketing division is always growing and changing to meet todays challenging consumers. I have always been impressed with the marketing programs that are available to each Franchisee.
It is also important to note the relationships between WTH, CruiseOne and the Cruise Lines and land vacation suppliers. As a CruiseOne Franchisee I feel I benefit greatly from the loyal relationships that they have built over the years, and feel each Franchisee is recognized as a valued member of the "team". Working together in development and training has greatly improved the skills required to run my successful business.
Would I purchase my Franchise again? Absolutely! Without a doubt!
Thank you CruiseOne for giving me the avenue to my dream career!

My six years as a CruiseOne franchisee have been a completely satisfying experience. The support that is provided by our Headquarters staff has been consistently outstanding. This support has enabled me to earn a substantial income, while doing something that I love to do - provide knowledgeable, professional, and valuable counseling to my clients.
