Royal Caribbean terminates relationship with YTB Your Travel

Royal Caribbean has decided not to continue business with YTB. This could be a major problem for YTB. RCCL (Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines) is a major player in the cruise industry. They have terminated relations with companies that they have determined are "card mills"

This is a major blow to YTB reps and RTA members.

I was asked today if Royal Caribbean is coming back. At this time, it doesn't look like Royal Caribbean has any intensions of ever coming back.

[Mark Ewing]

To date, Royal Caribbean has shown no signs of reinstating YTB. Royal Caribbean deemed YTB as a "Card Mill" and terminated their relationship with YTB in the fall of 2007.

Carnival Cruise Lines has recently enacted tough restrictions on the use of RTA discounts, making each rep sell at least 5 cruises before they can be considered for a discount.

I've been told that several other suppliers have terminated their relationships with YTB. I will look into this, and will post my findings.

Why don't you encourage the readers of your videos to check out both sides of the stories and then trust that they are smart enough to discern fact from fiction?

[Mark Ewing]

You need to watch the video again. I do encourage people to investigate all the facts. Unfortunately for you, none of the hard facts for these issues are in YTB's favor. I know this probably pisses you off, because it makes your recruiting efforts hard. But I am not doing these videos for you.

[Mark Ewing]

I know that you would like it if I didn't talk about YTB's problems, so that it would be easier for you to recruit and take peoples money. I am not doing these videos for you. I believe that people have a right to know about all theses issues before they invest their hard earned money. And you have shown that you (and many other Reps) are so misguided and so full of mis-information and propaganda, that you are not a good source for the real facts. Your YouTube username is a total misnomer.

[Mark Ewing]

If you read the travel industry trade websites, you'd know all about Vicki Freed leaving Carnival. Pull your head out of your ass before spouting off. Second, I don't hide. I give my name and even my phone number on my videos. What about you? You are a coward. I'd gladly look "coach" in the eye. He is not my "Coach". I don't see him as a god like a lot of YTB people do. He is no saint. Over 80% of YTB reps made NO MONEY last year! Add YTB expenses and you get a big RED NUMBER! (and RED FLAG)

[TruthandTravel]

Vicki got passed up for a promotion? Right. Dude, this all happens at the same time and it is not a coincedence. Your comment about smoking crack is just that. Fact is you know nothing about YTB but you still spin it. YTB is not just a company, it's people. People you need to look in the eye and explain why you are such a jerk when they have done nothing to you. Why don't you go look Coach in the eyes and say the same things. I doubt you have the guts. Hide behind the videos.

[Mark Ewing]

I don't have to smoke crack to know that it is bad...and I don't have to go to YTB headquarters to know that Royal Caribbean terminated YTB. And...if Carnival is so in love with YTB, why did they change their policies to not allow YTB RTA's to get discounts until they sell at least 5 cruises? Why did Carnival pass up Vicki Freed for a promotion? Why did Vicki leave Carnival to go to Royal Caribbean? Your comment doesn't make sense.

[TruthandTravel]

Fact: Mark has never stepped foot in YTB and therefore does not give a truly objective opinion. Fact: YTB sold more cabins for Carnival in ONE DAY than any other travel business has in history. RCCL took notice and Lisa Bauer got "promoted". Right. Fact: Vicki Freed is now in charge of the job that Lisa had and she came from Carnival. Carnival loves YTB and RCCL knows this.
