Welcome to a new year full of possibility and opportunity. Last year we sailed the waves of innovation with the debut of our newest ship, Oasis of the SeasSM. Then we followed that momentum by taking home four exciting Travel Weekly Reader’s Choice Awards, thanks to your votes:
• Best Cruise Line Overall
• Best Cruise Line Caribbean
• Best Overall Ship - Freedom of the Seas®
• Best Cruise Line Sales and Service
This year we're not only preparing to launch Oasis'sSM unbelievable sister ship, Allure of the SeasSM, we've also got a lot of exciting new promotions, incentives and tools up our sleeves. To help jump start WAVE, we have multiple offers to assist you in generating sales, including Create Your Own Sale (contact your BDM to set up), a Free Upgrade Offer and the Royal Commission Bonanza - a new program that provides incremental commissions for agencies who opt-in, and exclusive incentives for our National consortia of affiliates. Use them to get the ball rolling on a profitable new year.
This year become a hero to your customers by providing the opportunity to reward themselves with a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation. In turn, they can be their family hero by providing an affordable, high-quality vacation full of "why not" memories to last a lifetime. And we'll be here to partner with you on this initiative every step of the way.
I am excited about this year's potential. We've already seen positive momentum building around the country and I anticipate great things for our industry. Here's to 2010… may it be a prosperous year for all!
Warm Regards,
Vicki L. Freed, CTC
