To Whom It May Concern:
We received this information/press release from the trades/USA Today and thought it may be of interest to this newsgroup as well. http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruis...=68494750.blog |

Now, if only you were a travel agent, then you would be allowed to include your signature line as well. John Well uh Sissie, I am allowed to include anything I want to include. And, just like you, I am a travel agent, at least judged by your standards. My sales volume is about $45,000 p.a. Just like in your case it consists exclusively of cruises I book for my wife and myself. Unlike you, I am not interested in other people's business and therefore I don't need to lower myself to spamming like you do. Too bad you weren't on the Equinox. |

This implies that crew members are not ordinarily required to be immunized against common infectious diseases. That is not a good thing, in my opinion. |

Unlike you, I am not interested in other people's business and therefore I don't need to lower myself to spamming like you do. Too bad you weren't on the Equinox. Sissie? At least you could have been more creative in your insult - you're lack of originality is getting pretty old. But far more important, you're now telling us that you are indeed a travel agent, but only book cruises for yourself, not the general public. Yet, you apparently earn a commission anyway? Naturally, the general public is free to book a cruise on their own with a cruise line, but they certainly won't be earning a commission on top of that as well. For example, I have also earned commissions on cruises we have booked for ourselves, but far, far less that your $45,000. On the other hand, we have earned a lot more than that in booking the general public. That's what a travel agent is all about, not the means to ignore the general public altogether while getting a commission on cruise that they book for just themselves. John You really are ignorant, aren't you? Try to understand the difference between "sales" and "commission", dumbo. |

The immunization was offered to 2100 people (both crew and passengers, which were all travel agents) but apparently only 3 accepted as they had not had the vaccine before or weren't sure. If that's correct your concern is still appropriate. http://tinyurl.com/l252sv |

The immunization was offered to 2100 people (both crew and passengers, which were all travel agents) That must have come from a different article, not the one whose URL is shown above - it says only that "the company has ordered 1,000 doses of measles vaccine for the ship's crew". Nothing about travel agents. I hope most travel agents are current on their vaccinations as well, since they are in frequent contact with the public. but apparently only 3 accepted as they had not had the vaccine before or weren't sure. If that's correct your concern is still appropriate. http://tinyurl.com/l252sv This article does mention passengers. Three out of several thousand - at least that's few enough that the ship as a whole would have herd immunity. |

That almost sounds like one of those card mill companies that RCI/Celebrity were trying to get away from. People pretending to be agents just to get agent rates without doing any other volume. Without more details it's hard to say. --Tom |
