FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - the nation's largest home-based travel agent franchise network in the cruise industry, has been honored with top producer status from two leading cruise lines.

As a recipient of Carnival Cruise Lines' Pinnacle Award, this marks the 10th consecutive year that Cruise Planners has been recognized by the Fun ship brand. The Pinnacle Award is given to top producers with high-volume sales who demonstrate exceptional professionalism, creative marketing techniques and outstanding support of the Carnival experience.

It was the first time in the company's 15-year history, and Cruise Planners' SVP of Sales & Marketing Vicky Garcia accepted the award on behalf of the company at Crystal Cruises' 19th Annual Sales Achievement Gala aboard the ultra-luxurious Crystal Serenity.

"We are delighted to honor Cruise Planners for their continued support of Crystal Cruises," said Crystal President Gregg Michel. "Reaching the Millionaire Producer status is a great accomplishment, and Cruise Planners agents should be very proud of themselves."
