Thanks ahead. :) Each cruise lines pays a different commission. Some cruise lines pay high producing TA's more of a commission. In Canada , TA's make between 5-10% of the commission able fare . Example port taxes & fee don't contribute to the commission. The same for airfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 29, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It does vary by cruise line. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted April 29, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It varies by cruise line and agency production . 15 % is a good average to go by for an agency that books a lot of a particular cruise line. Individual TA's working as independent contractors , such as home based TA's get a split of that % based on their contract & production. Add to that speculative groups held by an agency where booked guests get the group rate and amenities , agency gets the 1 for 16 guests TC $$ as a bonus.

Dayenu Posted April 30, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't know how much a TA makes, but 3 or 4 years ago my father used a TA while I made reservation on-line. For 10-day cruise in inside guarantee he paid $25 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
