Press Release:
America's Vacation Center / American Express Accomplishes Industry First - Booking a Cruise from 30,000 Feet
 "Our software covers everything from availability and booking to customer relationship management and commission tracking. It's the ultimate testament to AVC agents' freedom," said Anderson. "We've had a number of agents make bookings and speak with clients from cruise ship web lounges, so AVC is now able to book travel from land, sea, and air!" Anderson was on his way back to the United States from Norway, where he was one of 9 travel agents invited to join Royal Caribbean executives as they took delivery of the line's newest ship, Freedom of the Seas. While at an altitude of approximately 30,000 feet, and somewhere over Greenland, Anderson used his laptop to access AVC's live inventory of cruise availability and book the cabin. Among the options Anderson had at his fingertips were the ability to select dining, change bed configurations, add insurance, and make a deposit. Imagine being able to earn commission while aboard a cruise or while flying at 30,000 feet," said Anderson. "AVC agents have that kind of freedom -- the freedom to work wherever, whenever, earning the highest commissions in the industry!" America's Vacation Center is familiar with setting the pace for travel agencies.
