"I was the first Outside Salesperson to join Cruises Inc. The date was 1981 (yes, over 26 years with the same company). At that time, Cruise Travel Agencies were in their infancy; in fact, Cruises Inc. was the very first cruise-only travel agency in the U.S. It was fun at that time selling cruise travel to folks who wanted to find their dream vacation and you knew would return "hooked" on cruising. To this day, I still have clients who booked with me then and continue to do so today. Our company has since grown to be an industry leader, primarily because of the support of our corporate headquarters team, from the CEO down to our excellent support staff. They make our job more pleasant and enjoyable."

Frank Saurman, Cruises Inc. Agent since 1982, Palmyra, Virginia

"We cruised for the first time in 1995 and then again two years later. After having such wonderful experiences, not only with the cruises but also with our Cruises Inc. Agent, we decided to get into the cruise business ourselves. Our initial goal was not only to support what was to become a cruise habit, but also to see if the cruise sales business could really be a career. We're happy to say it is now our career and we have been on more than 45 cruises all over the world.

It has been a pleasure working with the Cruises Inc. headquarters team in growing our business. With their technology, internal support, and customized marketing programs, we have progressed from part-time agents to among the top three full-time production leaders in the entire company in 2007 and 2008."

"We have had more than nine wonderful years with Cruises Inc. There could not be a better group of people than the ones we work with at our home based office. Any questions or concerns that we have will always be answered immediately or as soon as possible if the answer isn't known right away. Tony and I were only planning on doing this for just a few years after we retired from teaching, but here we are still at it and enjoying it very much! We are looking forward to many more years with our Cruises Inc. family."

Tony and Amy Botto, Cruises Inc. Agents since 1998, Somers, New York

"As part of the Cruises Inc. team, I have had the opportunity to meet my headquarters staff in person during training and continuing education events. This has created relationships that are powerful tools, helping me learn, grow and succeed in business. The helpful and caring attitude of so many of my fellow Cruises Inc. Agents also helps strengthen the company and has helped us get to where we are today as an industry leader. This is the most outstanding home based business, an enjoyable and profitable experience. If you are looking for a home based host agency with a proven track record, integrity and a family feel...you've found the right one in Cruises Inc.! I hope you will join us and that I can meet you soon."

Donna Smeal, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2004, North Olmsted, Ohio

"I joined Cruises Inc. in June 2007 after a career in sales, which took me to various parts of the world. I was welcomed by a company of professionals who are like an extended family. They are always available for questions and support and continually coming up with new ideas to assist agents in building our business. Cruises Inc. is the perfect opportunity to share my passion for travel with the world and to leverage my experiences in ways that positively impact the lives of others. As a home based agent I feel I have the best of all worlds!"

Jayne Hutson, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Strongsville, Ohio

"I have been with Cruises Inc. for nearly a year and a half and I have to say it was the best decision I have made in business. I began working in the travel industry at an airline 20 years ago and have worked at several small and large agencies over the years. There were several parts of me that did not like working for another company; the first being flexibility. I have growing children and aging parents and over the years, it was tough to get time off to take care of my personal needs. Also, the financial struggle that came as a woman in sales was a tough uphill battle. So, I began searching for a way to combine my love for travel with a flexible business endeavor and found Cruises Inc. Here, I can build my own clientele."

Terry Jones, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Herndon, Virginia

"I joined the Cruises Inc. family in June 2007. It has been a lot of hard work to establish myself and build my own client database, but my hard work is paying off and I am loving every moment of it. After all, what could be better than being your own boss, having the freedom to work from home and enjoying what you do? To top it all off, I have made so many new friends within Cruises Inc. - from our corporate headquarters team to a great group of fellow agents who have become my lifeline. As part of this group, even if you're home-based and working on your own, you never feel alone."

Ginger Shaffer, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2007, Canyon, Texas

"I'm new to Cruises Inc. I joined in July 2008 and since joining, I can honestly say that I have had the most wonderful interactions with nearly every headquarters team member, including senior management. They are without a doubt the finest, most professional people you could ever find in the travel industry and cruise business, in particular. I wanted to be part of an agency that cared about me, wanted for me to succeed, and helped me get there."

Donna Philcox, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2008, Seaford, New York

"After working with another host agency for more than a year and becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of organization, backup, and technology there (not to mention micro-management), I found Cruises Inc. Thankfully! I had searched for another agency for many months and was so impressed with the training program, facilities, and especially the headquarters staff. I joined Cruises Inc. in August 2008. The support and motivation I have received thus far from our customer service department, as well as my team leader, has been phenomenal."

Darlene Kane, Cruises Inc. Agent since 2008, Vero Beach, Florida

"We enrolled in the Cruises Inc. new agent's class in July 2008. We were, at first, overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge you need to become a cruise specialist and operate a profitable business. However, the company's headquarters team is legendary and we could not have had better ongoing support once we got started. The level of support and sharing nature of our fellow agents has been an instrumental lifeline."
