Ep 256 How Many Cruises Do You Need to Sell to Make $50,000 as a Travel Agent

All right, I think those are all of the updates.

Now, I did a booty ton of research for this episode, uh, because I wanted to kind of like come at this from a couple different directions.

I wanted to come at this episode from like if you were selling couples or if you were selling families.

Um, so we're getting into...

So, okay, so I, I am breaking this up.

We're gonna start with a mass market cruise line.

We're gonna do pricing for both couples and family of four.

Then we're gonna get to a premium line, same thing, couples or family of four.

And then we're gonna get to a luxury line.

Again, couples...

No, only couples, sorry, only couples 'cause I'm not sure that they have cabins for more than two people for this luxury line.

Then we're gonna do a world cruise 'cause I thought it was interesting to add a world cruise to the mix, and then we're also gonna do an expedition cruise.

Now, I cannot do all different cabin categories and all different like, uh, types of vacations and trips that are sailing, um, so we're just gonna get to the base of certain things, nitty-gritty.

I'm starting everybody at either a balcony or they're doing a suite.

So for the first three, my mass market, my premium, my luxury, I kind of compared Alaska itineraries.

They're all for August of this year.

They're all sailing around like the same time, like beginning, mid of August.

Um, I thought it was going to be very interesting just to compare apples to apples, um, and not like do anything like too varied or too different because it is pretty interesting to see what the differences are, like once you get into like going into suites versus va- balcony, and does it really make much of a difference if you go from two people in a cabin to four people in a cabin? Um, once we get up to like, um, the world cruise, I didn't do that be- [laughs] because there's so many different cabin types.

Also, I believe the world cruise that I was checking out did not have as much availability on it.

Now my, the last one, the expedition, it is going round trip Reykjavik.

It is an Iceland Arctic cruise.

Um, I believe I also did this for Janu- or Jan- not January, August of 2026.

The world cruise goes January 2027.

So I just wanted to kinda give you a lay of the land what we're going in here with.

Um, I also will say that I decided to stay with a cruise line group for the first three cruises.
