I love working for Expedia Cruise Ship Centers. They take care of my website and I love booking cruises and other vacations for my friends and family and others that I meet. I wish the commission structure was a little better but I am making money. They provide me with so much and if I need help it is just a phone call or e-mail away. I did have a rough start with first centers that I was assigned to but then was moved to the corporate office for awhile then to another local center. It was the difference of night and day between the two local centers. I plan to stay for a long time now.
The only reason I gave them a 4.5 rating was that I did most of my training with the first center but never received recognition for my completion of my training. But so what it is just a piece of paper. I am getting to do what I love to do plus can sometimes get great rates on personal travel.
"TRAVEL" - What A Wonderful Business" - I'm with and have been with another Host Agency For Some Time Now, Which is Very Good To Me - BUT - With all the advantages offered at ECSC - I truly need to think what's best for my Clients and Business! PLUS: With the Setup Fee reduced from $499. To $299. Why wouldn't I Make The Move To ECSC - ALSO: The Helping Kindness I've Found In The ECSC'S Teams I've Talked With (Howard, Pat and the others) and The Support and Some Much More for $29. I'm afraid the say what I'm paying here at my other Host Agency .. (I love You Guy's - But)

I was in a unique situation when I joined ECSC. After becoming an Independent Consultant, I also went to work part time for a local ECSC brick and mortar agency. I learned the ins and outs of the back office as well as working as an inside agent part time and kept my own sales as an outside agent. I grew disappointed in the commission structure and vendor commission rates compared to KHM and Outside Agents.
I was offered a full time position with another Leisure agency that included much needed insurance benefits. Upon giving notice re: the Inside agent position, all access to my Independent Consultant site was ceased. I paid for a year of hosting and although I quit the part time inside job, I should have been able to keep the services I paid for.

- The Expedia CruiseShipCenters Team
I have nothing but great things to say about Expedia CruiseShipCenters,OVC. The staff cares about me and my business and gives terrific support. I especially love their free marketing programs and am thankful for all the leads that their marketing generates for me.
I was one of the first agents at ECSC, OVC. I rely on them to provide the up to date technology, websites, and advertising back office functionality. Their package gives me the business tools I need to keep growing and prospering. It's good to know that their only business is hosting agents and that they do not compete with me. When I do well, they do well, we're in it together. They provide suggestions and offer a high level of support. They are friendly and professional at the same time. Suffice to say I profit by and enjoy my affiliation with them.
Being an independent agent with Expedia CruiseShipCenters OVC is the best of both worlds. Working when I want while being part of a Host agency that supports and helps grow my business, is the perfect blend for success!
