This is absolutely my favorite month here at the office. Why? Because we're celebrating our 5th Annual Travel Agent Appreciation Month! Throughout April, we're recognizing and thanking the secrets to our success - Travel Agents.

I personally want to thank you for everything you do for us and for our industry. We could not be successful without you. You keep us afloat year after year and I speak for the company as a whole when I say your passion, loyalty, feedback and innovative ideas are sincerely valued. And to celebrate, we've got a lot of great incentives and promotions planned to reward and recognize the best agents in the business.

What are some of the ways we're giving back? By reemphasizing our commitment to being the easiest cruise line to do business with. Recently, some of our competitors automated their sales processes and tools, forcing all affiliated agencies to conform to their new systems. I want to emphasize that here at Royal Caribbean our approach is DIFFERENT. At the end of the day agents are our customers too and we serve you, not the other way around. Flexibility is the key to success and I'd like to think that "Gumby" is our middle name.

This is a relationship business. I can truly say that the best part of my job is having had the privilege of building very special personal relationships with so many of you over the years. I have watched the industry grow and change and I am excited to see where it goes from here.

Travel Agents, keep up the great work! You truly are heroes - to us and to our guests! Remember, this month is all about YOU - enjoy it!


Warm Regards,



Vicki L. Freed, CTC
