that is true Pete...in general when I am doing any pricing, I include the cruisefare, port or non commissionable fares, taxes and the lovely new fuel surcharges...I don't separate it out...one price that includes everything...I personally don't like the so called "lead in " fares...then some agents tell about the taxes and fuel surcharges later....I agree with Pete...just give the price total.

That is exactly what we do, include it all. After all, it isn't as if they have the option to pick and choose. The unfortunate commentary on the industry is that you really have to explain all of it to the client as they will compare the price against an agency or cruise line that doesn't include all of it.

And therefore we have this board! Great place for people to really get the right scoop.

I've seen this also. I hope I'm in compliance.

Think I am ok with my signature.

Please let me know if it is not an I will certainly change it.

I have always included taxes, fees and port charges in when I advertise any cruise price. I don't want my clients to have any surprises that they weren't expecting when it comes to pricing.

To aLL TA's
Please send a request via PM for a copy of the TA guielines for the full scoop.

You can PM any of the moderators, known on CLF as "Officers."

CLF TA's
A CLF TA is one who: A) is already a contributing member of CLF; B) is associated with a legitimate agency; C) has submitted their credentials to CLF staff, and has been approved as a CLF TA.

Okay, I can achieve A with time. What does the CLF staff want to see for points B & C, and to whom do I send it?

Also, I think I have seen conflicting advice on signatures. Is a phone number required, or not allowed? I can deal with either, just want to be correct. The wording for listing cruises we will be on is also confusing. Are we allowed to list that information, or is it prohibited? Again, I can live with it either way.
