Q: How much commission do I make on a sale?
A: That varies greatly. Commissions usually range from 10% to 20% each supplier and cruise line sets it's own policy. But here's an example: lets say you sell a family of 4 on a 7 day All-Inclusive Resort in the Caribbean for $3,000 plus taxes and we got 15% commission. The total commission on that sale would be $450. You keep 70% to 90% of the commission. Lets say you get 70% thats $315. to you. If that was a Cruise using the same figures and you sold a group of 15 cabins your commission would be $4,725. Note: Suppliers don't pay commission on taxes or port-charges.
