    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.

    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.

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.

    I don’t EVER use a travel agent and I have a niece who is a travel agent! Do your research, the internet has a wealth of information. If you are nervous about booking on your own, use a well known, highly rated travel agency- not an agent. At least you have guarantees they have to provide if things go wrong.

    "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.

    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.

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. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I know in the instance of the cruise and the Aruba trip that was cancelled, it was a planned event. Monica's travel business had been used in the passed to coordinate the Twin Cities cruise takeover event. They plan and offer events in coordination, so if you just went on the 90s cruise, you would not have necessarily had access the the TC Takeover event. Just like with Aruba, it was a Mother's Day Getaway, with planned events and parties, but the agent. In this instance she marketed herself as not only the Travel Agent but the event planner as well, which is why she travels with many of her groups. Now, overall when it comes to Travel Agents, some folks utilize them for group travel to ensure booking remains together, some folks just like the extra hand in planning their vacations, some TAs know travel hacks some may not know, they are good for helping you mitigate issues, and work to ensure travelers safety, many times they can help you find amazing rates, or can help you plan a unique trip that might be a lot of work to plan out. TAs can be very beneficial and sometimes not. Not everyone is like you or even myself who feels completely comfortable planning out our vacations.

    Same thing I said last month. People pay a travel agent for a cruise. That travel agent pays a 3rd party company (as opposed to the cruise line). . That travel agent is still responsible. . I'm not a fan of professionally babysitting/hovering over someone like a helicopter to ensure she/he is doing their job. Unfortunately, in this world that's exactly what's needed.

    A reputable travel agency submits payments through the cruise line’s Tavel agent portal. The money goes directly to the cruise line and a travel agent sends the customer a receipt on behalf of the cruise line. Another huge myth is that customers pay travel agents to book travel. While there are some who charge a nominal fee (I’m not one of them), the majority do not. The vendor (cruise line, vacation provider, etc. have a negotiated percentage with the travel agent that they pay for bringing business to the company. Customers pay the same amount whether they use a travel agent or not. Those who do get the benefit of our expertise, hundreds of travel partners and perks travel agents provide.
