MIAMI — Carnival Cruise Line’s Amp Up Commission Challenge is back for this year’s Wave season.

The popular trade incentive gives travel advisors the opportunity to qualify for higher commission rates in 2023, up to 15%, based on bookings made from Jan. 1 through March 31, 2023.

Adolfo Perez, Carnival’s SVP Global Sales and Trade Marketing, says: “This is our first true Wave season in several years, and we know how important this time is for our travel advisors, so we’re excited to once again have this incentive program kick off just in time for Wave and to offer the opportunity for travel advisors to grow their business and their commissions.”

Perez adds: “When we previously offered the Amp Up program from 2017 to 2019, it was very well-received by the travel advisor community, so we know this will be a great boost for them as they head into the new year.”

Participating agencies will need to make 20 – 125 bookings during the January to March 2023 booking period to qualify for higher commission levels (11 – 15%), which will be applied to bookings made from April 1 through Dec. 31, 2023.

To participate, travel advisors must register on GoCCL.com during the opt-in period which starts today, Jan. 17, and runs until Feb. 15.

The program is open to agencies in Canada, the U.S. and Puerto Rico that currently qualify for 10 – 14% commissions. Only new bookings that are fully deposited or paid in full Jan. 1 – March 31 are eligible and count toward the goal.
