Buy one, get one with extras! Plus agents to reap commissions rewards.
Holland America Line has doubled its offer on onboard spending credits, but there’s one hitch, guests need to book with a future cruise consultant while cruising, but it still means agents get to claim commissions.
Guests who make a new booking with a future cruise consultant while on board a Holland America Line ship will now earn double the onboard spending credit up to $400 per person. Travel professionals continue to earn full commission and receive full revenue credit for all bookings made during a cruise.
“New bookings made on our ships with a future cruise consultant are very important to Holland America Line and should be a goal for all our travel professionals,” Eva Jenner, Holland America Line’s vice president of North America sales said. “When a guest books on board it’s like an annuity for their travel professional.”
“A booking automatically applies to the travel professional of record,” Jenner added. “This cruise deposit also generates a booking confirmation notice to them so they are aware of the new booking even before the guests return home.”
Onboard spending credits also can be earned by purchasing a Future Cruise Deposit from the sales consultant during a cruise that allows guests to decide on an itinerary at a later date. However, Future Cruise Deposits are not eligible for the double spending credit. Travel professionals are also sent a Future Cruise Deposit (FCD) confirmation when a Future Cruise Deposit is purchased.
