Disney raises NCFs for cruises
Disney Cruise Line has reorganized its non-commissionable fares (NCF) policy, raising the amount of fare non commissionable based on the length of a cruise.
Previously, NCF was $20 per person, per day but now Disney will deduct $25 for cruises of six days or less, and $30 on voyages lasting seven to 10 days.
It will remain unchanged at $20 for cruises of 11 days or more.
Increasing cruise NCFs "basically reduces the commission on cruises with a brush of a hand," according to 35-year industry veteran Craig Satterfield, of SureCruise.com, Las Vegas.
"Too bad that Disney chooses to penalize the retail travel professionals for the dedication and expertise they bring to presenting this product to travelers," Satterfield said.
Disney is also changing its land based touring program commission strategy.
Adventures by Disney pre- and post-stays in non-Disney branded hotels will no longer be commissionable.
