Lady Dinero Posted July 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I read where we cannot ask for a travel agent's name, and then I also see many travel agents posting and some travel groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TA's that post or advertise are sponsors of CC, posting one's own TA would be competing with sponsors. That's how I understand it. Also, welcome to Cruise Critic!

shipgeeks Posted July 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2023 As I see it, allowing names just opens up too much possibility of fraud. If I own X Travel, I could pretend to be a very satisfied customer of X Travel, and write rave reviews of the outstanding service I got. Maybe I actually give terrible service, but could generate a lot of business by continually giving fake glowing reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 14, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2023 There are posters that admit that they are travel agents, but they do not link to their agencies. Travel agency ads are a source of revenue for CC. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
