Advanced Notice of Promotion, Heightened Field Support, Bonus Commission Re-Affirm Commitment to Trade
MIAMI
(December 12, 2013) – Carnival recently shared with travel agents
details regarding a new “Wave Season” promotion offering discounts of up
to $400 per stateroom on a
variety of “Fun Ship” departures booked in the month of January.
The
new offer was presented to the trade in advance to provide travel agents
with ample opportunity to market the promotion to their clients.
In
addition, Carnival is further demonstrating its support to travel
agents during the month of January by offering a $25 bonus commission
for bookings on voyages of six days
or longer departing between May 1 and Aug. 31, 2014.
The
Wave Season special discount offer includes savings of up to $200 per
stateroom on two- to five-day departures and savings of up to $400 per
stateroom on voyages of six
days or longer. Additional consumer offers will be available throughout
the month of January. These special offers will be communicated to
travel agents via email and through the line’s travel agent Internet
portal, GoCCL.com throughout the month.
“Travel
agents have told us that advanced notice of promotions and the ability
to earn more for bookings are very important to them and we’re committed
to making both of these
possible with this promotion and future ones, as well,” said Joni Rein,
Carnival’s vice president of worldwide sales. “Our sales force will be
actively working with agents in the field to further support sales and
marketing efforts starting now and continuing
throughout the entire Wave Season.”
Reservations must be made between January 1-31, 2014, to qualify for
this special Wave Season promotion which is available in conjunction
with voyages within three
months prior to sailing on two- to five-day cruises and within five
months prior to sailing on cruises of six-days or longer.
The
promotion is available on a wide range of three- to eight-day cruises
to the Bahamas, Caribbean and Mexico departing from 12 convenient North
American homeports located
along the eastern seaboard and the Gulf and West Coasts. The offer is
valid only on new individual bookings and certain other restrictions
apply.
Carnival
is "The World's Most Popular Cruise Line®" with 24 ships operating
three- to 16-day voyages to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera,
