Kyle Nichols and Robert Fuse, a military couple based in Central Florida, have charted a new course in the travel industry through Cruise Planners. Their transition from military service to owning a travel franchise is a testament to the opportunities that Cruise Planners offers to its franchisees.

Robert, with 18 years of service in the Coast Guard, and Kyle, who was seeking a new career after being furloughed, found their compass pointing towards Cruise Planners. Kyle’s background in travel and Robert’s experience with cruise ship inspections from his Coast Guard days made Cruise Planners an attractive harbor. They took the plunge and have been sailing smoothly ever since.

Cruise Planners provided Kyle and Robert with comprehensive training and support. The depth and structure of the training impressed them, with Kyle stating, “The in-depth amount of training…is probably the number one life saver.” Robert, who appreciates structured training from his military background, found the hands-on approach of Cruise Planners’ training to be very effective.

Cruise Planners also offers cutting-edge technology and tools to its franchisees. Robert praises the integrated tool, CP Maxx, saying, “I don’t think anyone has a tool like CP Maxx. Not as integrated as our tool is. That, for me, makes my life a whole lot easier.”

Owning a Cruise Planners franchise has given Kyle and Robert the freedom to be their own bosses and the flexibility to work from anywhere. They have been able to travel the world while running their business. “CP has given us the opportunity to travel a lot…and doing that we’ve run into advisors from other host agencies. We take for granted all the things we have at our fingertips but not everybody has the tools and resources available to them that CP has built for us,” says Robert.

Cruise Planners also provides coaching and marketing support to its franchisees. Kyle and Robert have found the coaching to be transformative and the marketing support invaluable. Robert says, “With me still working, and [Kyle] running the agency, we don’t have the time to come up with marketing ideas and campaigns. To have all that done for us turnkey, with our name on it, we love that.”

As an LGBTQ couple, Kyle and Robert have found Cruise Planners to be a welcoming and inclusive community. They are proud to be part of a franchise that values diversity and inclusivity.

In conclusion, Kyle and Robert’s success story is a shining example of how Cruise Planners can be an ideal travel franchise for military couples. It offers comprehensive training, cutting-edge technology, freedom, flexibility, coaching, marketing support, and a welcoming culture.
