GROUP POLICIES
The policy of Cruise Brothers is for all agents to utilize and notify their team lead anytime a new group is opened. Absolutely no groups should be opened without your team leaders knowledge.
All reservations in any group MUST be paid in full, to gross, before final payment. This includes any reservation eligible for a tour conductor credit. To have a tour conductor credit applied, contact your team leader, who will notify Cruise Brothers group dept. in order to have the reservation total changed to reflect the value of the tour conductor credit. Failure to do this could result in a reservation being canceled.
The cruise line does NOT apply the tour conductor credit, they pay the TC to Cruise Brothers, who in turn applies the TC to the agents reservation.
The travel agent CANNOT apply a tour conductor credit without prior approval of their team lead and the Cruise Brothers group dept.
Tour Conductor Credits are only applicable in your private named, deposited, and reported groups. If you group and reservations are not reported in CBAT, NO tour conductor credit will be applied.
All reservations, in groups or otherwise, need to be reported in CBAT as soon as they are deposited. Any delay can and will cause a delay in the payout of commissions.
There are NO tour conductor credits given in TLN or Cruise Brother home groups, unless your team leader is notified at least 6 months before the cruise that you have at least 8 deposited cabins in these groups.
Please call me at 401-646-3010, if you have any questions about Cruise Brothers Group Policy.

Note that Boot Camp 2024 is sold out, and is currently taking a waiting list which will close soon. More availablity might open in a month. Also note that a Double Occupancy Room means two people sharing a room and a Single Occupancy Room means one person in the room. It has nothing to do with bedding. Most of the rooms are King beds, so if you are in a double and need two beds, it is on an availability basis. If you send an email to [email protected] because you absolutely cannot be in a King Bedded room, Cruise Brothers will refund your deposit, but only through Monday. If you booked a Single Occupancy room and have a guest, your pricing will be adjusted to Double Occupancy.

*Important* Please report ALL of your bookings made through our agency within 48 hours of applying payment on the booking to make it an official one. We have way too many agents not doing that causing numerous problems. We just had an agent who had a group booking we received $6695 in commission for and had trouble tracking down the agent who booked it! Per consumer affairs protection laws your clients should be receiving an invoice from our agency for their bookings within 3 business days or so. The only way that happens is if the booking has been reported in CBAgentTools. Thanks!

We are coming to the end of July soon and this month has been very slow with bookings. Remember to report each and every booking on CBAT so you can get paid. As soon as you deposit the booking report it. Use the booking engine so that reports for you. Send me the booking to help.
