Travel Agent Appreciation Month

Royal Caribbean International announced enhanced programs as part of its Travel Agent Appreciation Month, including new fam weekends and enhancements to the University of WOW! training program.

We are offering Travel Agent Appreciation promotions in April, such as travel agent rates of 25 percent off, and two additional Group Amenities Plus points on many itineraries from September 2009 onwards

New eConnect enhancements help travel agents create interactive and personalized eQuotes. EQuotes include travel agency details and logo, pricing, send-to-a-friend functionality and now single, triple, and quad pricing in a professional design that agents can send directly to their clients from www.CruisingPower.com.

In addition, new Royal Caribbean webinars will feature advanced topics such as using CruiseMatch, developing and selling themed cruises, and strategies during economic downturns. All webinars are archived so travel agents can access the informative sessions at their convenience or return to a past session to review when needed. Webinars are scheduled every month.

Royal Caribbean’s new fam weekends will help time-strapped travel professionals experience the cruise line without actually taking a cruise. Fam weekends bring travel agents to port cities throughout the country to meet with executives, learn more about the cruise line, and tour ships. A nominal participation fee covers the cost of transfers, lodging, and most meals during the weekend.
