The InCruises compensation plan was originally hidden behind a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Following publication of this review, Michael Hutchison sent BehindMLM a copy of the InCruises compensation plan. It is presumed the NDA is no longer in place.
Before we get started, I’ll note that the InCruises compensation plan mentions “active” qualification.
Active qualification sees InCruises affiliates required to sell two cruise memberships (one of which can be their own purchase).
The InCruises compensation plan however makes no mention of whether active affiliates are able to earn commissions.
Three subscription sales appears to be the required minimum for direct commissions and five for residual commissions.

Cruise Membership Commission
InCruises affiliate are paid directly for selling $100 cruise memberships in groups of three.
For each group of three sold in a month, an InCruises affiliate is paid a $100 commission.
Note that these groups of three can be retail customers or recruited affiliates who have purchased the $100 travel membership subscription.
A Coaching Bonus of $100 is also payable if a recruit affiliate receives a cruise membership commission within 30 days of joining the company.
Direct Residual Commission
When an InCruises affiliate sells five $100 cruise memberships to retail customers or recruited affiliates, they trigger a $10 per month residual commission per subscriber.
Additionally if an InCruises affiliate themselves has a cruise membership, the monthly $100 fee is waived.
Residual Commissions
Residual commissions in InCruises are paid out via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
InCruises cap payable unilevel levels at five, with a $5 monthly residual commission paid out on cruise membership payments.
Note that residual commission qualification is the same as direct residual commission qualification (sell and maintain five cruise membership subscriptions).
