What do you think is a TA's commission?

if my T/A didn't lie to us,

The policy varies in the fine point from cruise line to cruise line. Some
pay zero on a cancelled res, others pay a reduced percentage on the penalty
assessed. Nothing is EVER paid on "port charges" and government fees. The
only way to circumvent this is for the TA to offer and have the client buy
third party insurance, and then it has to be one that offers commission
protection. Only then does the agent make commission on a cancelled res.

Ask all who had to re-accommodate displaced passengers following Katrina,
sometimes two or three times, only to have the booking cancel, how they are
so familiar with the "no commission on cxl" policies.

usually when it's time to get paid every month I usually tell them, "No
thanks, keep it, I'll work for free."

Yup. That one put a bite on me.
