Pros

Good food for free, free cruises after you pay tax, gratuities and airfare (not so free).

Cons

You have to work 24/7 to make any money there, you will have horrible hours with no base pay at all. The reviews previous to this are fake and employees were asked to write them to increase their rating on Glassdoor (if you read them they all sound the same). This place is a sweatshop and turn around is almost 100 percent- most people don’t last more than 4-5 months. My training class had 21 and after a year there was 1 person left, which is typical. If you are 20 something and you feel like living at work (literally) - go for it, and good luck.

Thank you for your feedback. We do encourage all of our employees to leave comments on Glassdoor because their perspective is important to our continued growth, however, employees are never instructed on what to say as their honest feedback is the most beneficial. As a result, we have a turnover rate that is well below the industry average and many of our travel counselors have been with us for 5 to 10+ years. While most employees earn a great living without working overtime, some of our travel counselors are willing to put in extra hours, after the first four months of paid training, to rapidly increase their sales and earning potential. Although things didn’t work out, we thank you for your time here and hope that you have found a position that is a better fit for you.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are proud to offer uncapped commissions because they create strong earning potential, and we recognize that metrics alone do not define a great employee experience. While we do have consistent minimum expectations for all sales agents, most of our team regularly surpasses them, with team managers there to support, encourage, and coach agents toward success. We also want to clarify that our recent wave season was more in line with the past couple of record-breaking years. Most importantly, we put employees first. We do not allow clients to mistreat agents, and our Customer Care and Customer Support leadership teams actively step in during difficult client situations to ensure employees feel supported, respected, and backed by leadership.
