Sound Familiar?

You Work Hard.
Someone Else Profits.

Commission Splits

You close the booking, build the relationship, do all the work — then hand over 30–50% to a host who barely knows your name.

High Monthly Fees

Paying $50–100+/month for access you barely use, support you don't need, and tools that don't move your business forward.

Complicated Contracts

Long-term commitments, unclear terms, and exit fees that make it hard to leave even when it stopped working for you.

One Size Fits All

Paying for training, hand-holding, and marketing tools you've never needed — because you already know what you're doing.

"You're already good at what you do. You just need the credentials to do it independently."

Please note: Vantage Access does not provide training, mentorship, or marketing support. This membership is designed for experienced, confident, self-sufficient agents who simply need CLIA access at a fair price. If a $25 processing fee feels like a lot compared to the hundreds you're keeping in commissions — this probably isn't for you, and that's okay.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Vantage Access for?

Experienced agents who already know how to sell and book cruises and want a simpler, more profitable alternative to traditional host agency models.

Do you offer training or support?

No. This program is strictly for agents who already understand how to book travel independently. If you need training or mentorship, this is not the right fit.

How does the CLIA number work?

The CLIA number belongs exclusively to Dreamscapes Travel by Michelle LLC. Members are authorized to book under it solely through Vantage Access. It may not be used outside this program, shared, or represented as your own credential under any circumstances.

What do I pay?

A flat monthly access fee based on your membership tier, plus a 5 processing fee per qualifying booking. No commission splits. No hidden charges.

What do I keep?

100% of your supplier commission. The only per-booking charge is the $25 processing fee. We do not take a percentage of your earnings — ever.

When do I get paid?

Commission is paid directly by the supplier to Vantage Access, then passed through to you. Timing varies by cruise line — most release commission after the client's final payment is processed, typically 7–30 days after final payment posts, which is usually 90–120 days before sailing. Some lines pay closer to or after the sail date. You will receive your commission after Vantage Access receives payment from the supplier.

How do I stay in good standing?

Pay on time, follow all booking rules and supplier requirements, and use the program responsibly. Misuse of the CLIA credential, unauthorized bookings, or violations of agency policy will result in immediate termination.

Can I use the CLIA number for non-cruise bookings?

No. Vantage Access is a cruise-focused program. The CLIA credential is issued for cruise bookings only and must be used exclusively within the scope of this program.

How do I cancel?

Submit written notice 30 days before your next billing date. No exit fees, no penalties. Access is revoked upon cancellation and the CLIA number may no longer be used.

Important: The CLIA number associated with Vantage Access is the exclusive property of Dreamscapes Travel by Michelle LLC. It is provided to approved members solely for use within this program. Any unauthorized use, sharing, or misrepresentation of this credential is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination and potential legal action.
