Relevant information here showing that in 2012 Carnival Corporation revised its commission structure to bring its commission tiers in line with the marketplace.

• 10% for 0-49 cabins;
• 11% for 50-99 cabins;
• 12% for 100 to 199 cabins;
• 13% for 200 to 299 cabins;
• 14% for 300 to 399 cabins;
• 15% for 400 to 999 cabins;
• 16% for 1,000 or more cabins.
Travel agent reaction is in this article:

Carnival announced on Wednesday it will increase the number of cruises agents must sell to qualify for incremental increases in commission. ...agents now need to sell about 300 cabins a year to earn a commission rate of 16%. Starting with cruises sold after Dec. 31, they will have to sell 1,000 cabins to get that rate.
