Luxury cruise line Crystal will now make commission payments as many as 90 days before departure instead of its standard 30 days.
The new payment schedule is dictated by the length or type of booking made, with the longer cruises paying sooner. The changes are effective immediately.
Commissions for cruises lasting more than 40 nights will be paid 90 days before departure.
Cruises sailing less than 40 nights will be paid 50 days before departure.
Advisors who used the 20% Explore Fare to book a cruise at least 12 months in advance will be paid within 30 days of receiving the final payment.
Previously, the standard commission payment on all bookings came 30 days before departure.
The policy will be applied retroactively to all existing, qualifying standard bookings that have been paid in full within the 100% penalty period. The line said advisors can expect payments to be processed within the next 30 days for standard bookings and in the coming months for applicable Explorer Fare bookings.
