I can't find a second website, but the one linked from his profile is nothing more than a multi level marketing scheme, very similar to Global Travel. You can make a lot of money, IF you can convince other boneheads to sign up to "be a travel agent". The one catch line I love- "They do not receive travel credentials and cannot sell travel. Unless fully contracted with YTB Travel Network".
Hubby has the Global Travel credentials. Saves more than the cost of the yearly fee in discounts at hotels and rental car companies. But he tried to book two cruises this year using the credentials. Was told he had to book through his "home agency". Called Global for a quote. Now remember-he is one of their "agents" and the quoted price SHOULD reflect a discount if for nothing else, his portion of the commission. Both cruises priced out at more than $1000.00 over other internet and bricks and mortar agencies.
The OP really shouldn't be selling travel if he has to post on a public forum about which cruise to take. Since there is no or little commission from airline tickets anymore, how you going to make any money in travel without selling cruises? Hotels and rental cars sure wouldn't make a lot of money alone. I'm off my soapbox.
