QUESTION: If you were to start your travel agency over again, what would you do differently? Or another way to phrase this question would be; what would you do differently as a travel franchise?
Hello Hoffmans! I enjoy watching all you do and appreciate your videos tremendously! Question: I'm new to Royal Caribbean. I've only cruised Disney and NCL in the past. I'm dying to go to CocoCay. Is there a ship and/or itinerary that you'd recommend?
Hi Kristin! There are a lot of great Royal Caribbean ships! We recommend the newer ones or amplified ships that have more inclusions and dining options! Several ships go to CocoCay so there are a lot of options! If you need any help planning and book please feel free to reach out to our travel agency at Matt.Hoffman@CruisePlanners.com and we'd love to help you! Thanks so much for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
New TA with 30 contacts. Your videos inspire me to keep at it. Love to show your videos to my clients when they book. Jealous! You're going on Icon. Also, your wife should be a special guest one episode of TA talk!❤
Hi Theresawalsh! That's great! 🤩 Keep going!!! It takes some time to find what works best for you but so worth it once you figure it out! It'll get easier! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Question. What's your opinion on booking flights through NCL? Doing my research, it appears they don't lift a finger to help if anything goes astray in regards to flight cancelation or delays.
Hi Robert! We always recommend booking straight with the airline so if something does go astray you have full control in remedying it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi Paula! We travel a lot for sure but we are always working while we are traveling. And with the videos posting continuously after the fact it looks like we are traveling a lot more than we actually are. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi Bryan! Thanks for watching! No, that’s completely false. When you book with us, the price is never more than it is booking direct with the vendor, and it can sometimes be cheaper. While TAs are paid commissions, it is not an additional amount added to your price, and is instead factored in to the standard rate. Now, some TAs do charge extra fees for their services, but that is typically not the case (and definitely not the case with our agency). Happy Travels! 😁
Awww thank you Dawn! ❤️ We appreciate you too so much! 🥰 And trust me, nothing having to do with you is ever troublesome, it's always a joy! Thank you for being an amazing client and friend! ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
You make it look like it's tons of fun but also do a great job sharing what actually goes into what you do. Can't say enough good about your video content and working with you as our TA 🥰
It's 3 mins. before their balance is due... 😂 Debt collector... 😂 You never really clock out when you are self-employed. Thank you for helping me with our next cruise! Y'all are awesome! BTW I am paying the balance for our cruise this week! Woo Hoo! 😂🎉

Is it true buying a vacation with a travel agent costs more because of the commission that comes with it? A rumor is it’s cheaper to go without a TA
Hi Bryan! Thanks for watching!
