You don't need a license to be a travel agent although you should be required to have one. Back in ancient times when I didn't have a computer in my hands and wifi, I used a travel agent but now I book cruises directly with the cruise line and other travel directly with reputable ground companies. Depending on the destination, I may book all of the arrangements myself using hotel and airline customer loyalty/ credit card rewards.

Booking your own travel is simple!! I've been doing it since the 80s. Been to over 30 states and a dozen countries. Most of these new travel agents have been on 5-6 trips, and all of a sudden, according to them, they're experienced travelers. I seen them on social media advertising their services. It seems to be the new hustle, easy entry barrier without a lot of capital required.

I am a travel agent. I love booking trips for clients so they can have the same types of wonderful experiences as me. I make my clients' payments directly to the cruise lines. I send a reservation confirmation with all the details of payments, cabin type, cabin number, etc. I let them know to make an account, which then will show their cruise. Those people were paying her directly. I don't allow anyone to make payments to me. And they have to complete a credit card authorization form to protect themselves and me. Monica was having them pay her directly and never booking their trip!!

Agreed. Now with everything online, travel agents don’t really save you much time. Unless you are planning a multi destination trip and going to non-conventional locations. I used a travel agent for my honeymoon because we were going to a place that needed small prop planes to travel to and it was multiple destination honeymoon. So a travel agent was well worth it.

Have you guys filed a police report yet? Did you take her to small claims court? This is grand theft and since she did this online you can make a complaint to the FBI. I would send detailed letters to every single cruise lines security department with her picture and details. Since she seems to like to stay in the Caribbean and Central America, I would send complaints to the prosecutors in every single Caribbean country! Since you were a victim in Aruba, send notice to both the Aruban gov and the Dutch gov. Make her know the walls are closing in and her chance to vacay on others dime won't work! So shocked that after doing this to so many women, non have thrown hands with her! Sister would pay me if she didn't pay anyone else! 🤣

I've booked direct and with a travel agent. Sometimes they can get you deals you can't get on your own. I've never paid a TA using Paypal knowing their policies about payments. How much you want to guess she was telling people to mark the payment as Friends and Family to avoid fees. In my dealings with TAs, every payment or credit card auth has been quickly followed by an identified charge direct from the cruise line and a receipt. She is taking advantage of inexperienced travelers who might not notice the red flags we'd immediately see.

Back when I lived in NJ, my ex and I booked a vacation in Banff and Colorado through a travel agent she knew that used to get her hair done at my ex`s salon. Got itinerary from agent and she booked 4 one way flights for each of us, definitely jacking up the cost of the trip. I called and we got two round trip tickets each of us and I paid for the hotels in Banff and Lake Louise by check. Trip was great BUT I received a credit card statement that had tickets booked on an airline we did not fly on. I called the agent and her daughter in law told me that "it is your land package." I reminded her that i had paid that portion by check and told her I was disputing the airline tickets (had not been used yet) Charge was taken off my credit card and heard nothing until I read in local newspaper that agent and daughter in law had been indicted on credit card fraud. Her company went out of business due to the bad publicity.

You need to go to sites that your scammer uses & post how you got cheated & do it on sites that have any connection she might use. So sorry I know trips people plan for & spends lots of money on are important & mean a lot. This is why I do all our booking, cruises, planes, hotels, parks everything. The only time I would use a agent was on a trip to Europe with a group like Perillo that have been in business for years & gets you places you can’t on your own otherwise I do it all myself.

As a travel agency owner I'm really sad that this keeps happening. She isn't showing us in the best light. I'm not sure about her payment processes but as a travel agency I'm so shocked at her processes. I always keep my clients in the loop with everyone even going down to reconfirming travel details over and over again until the client leaves for their trip and I'm still available to them to support their travel needs while they are on vacation. This is so sad this keeps happening because I would never want any one that chooses to work with my agency to experience anything like this...

I remember in the good old days before the internet, a "travel agent" was someone who worked in or owned a "travel agency." A travel agency was a brick and mortar place where you go and sit with a person who usually knew everything about the place you wanted to go or they would call somebody on the phone who knew. They booked the trip over the phone. All of this was done while you sat and listened. There was no hiding behind the internet.

It’s so odd how she can successfully sell so many large groups. I imagine that she is focusing on people who might not typically use credit cards travel. It seems predatory. PayPal? Really? It’s a luxury vacation, Amex, Visa pay it off at the ending of the month…if that’s not affordable…you shouldn’t be going on such a trip.

"Vacation of a lifetime" Some of these people may have been saving up for a long time to afford this ONE vacation. They can't afford to be scammed out of it, and have lost much more than money. Not everybody uses credit cards, and PayPal is a far better choice than Western Union. I have cards, but I myself use PayPal on occasion. It's easy, convenient, and keeps my credit card info hidden.

This is why I will NEVER use a TA! After the early 00s, it became a useless service to most people since you can easily book your own trips now. None of the people scammed by this TA would have been in the position they are in if they booked directly with the cruise line or hotels. If you're worried about traveling without a "backup person" buy a good travel insurance plan and feel support you in any issues that pop up. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@lisai2110 That's NOT always true, some TA's charge their clients in addition to the percentages they receive from airlines, Cruise lines and hotels. I am NOT slamming TA's, they have to make money, just NOT my money. Lol

Oh those people will never get a refund from her. They might form a class action to try and get money back, but she's likely "judgement proof" and will file bankruptcy to avoid paying anything back. The best those people can do at this point is file fraud with their credit cards and hope they find in their favor. If they paid any other way, well they are better off hiring a tax person this year and seeing if they can pull a 1%er and claw back at least some of the money that way. Sad situation.

Actually the woman initially interviewed by the news with the cruise incident did receive her money back early April, and was also promised to be reimbursed for her airfare, which as of 3 Saturdays ago now, had not received.

​@CurvaceousElite probably wasn't really "her" money. Monica likely is playing the shell game with money 💰 paying hottest fire first, not paying others because she's been using the funds to live on instead of the travel.

Does anyone know if there's any travel insurance that would help against fraud? Obviously you'd have to buy it separate from the agent but if there is, I'm thinking I might start adding it with my other travel insurance.

Using a travel agent to book, you can sometimes get you a better deal. My group uses a travel agent to book for us but then the cruise line, airline, or hotel usually sends you information like our booking # and what our booking entails. We usually each have to go on the cruise line site and create an account to get things like your rewards number, to check-in, or just view information about your trip. You can view excursions, and sometimes to personalize your request, etc. I’m not clear as to how people had no information about their confirmed accommodations prior to going on their trip.

It was an R&B throwback cruise with singer Case and R.L. from Next but from what I heard from a source, the reason R.L didn't show up and perform was because they didn't pay him in time. Yet they were still advertising the cruise as if he were still performing.
