Earlier this year a BehindMLM reader left a comment on our second inCruises review, claiming

with the recent so called upgrade to 2.0 what once was a great thing is now just another travel company with nothing special to offer.

Another reader recently reached out to me via email to request an updated review.

BehindMLM’s second inCruises review was published back in 2017, so today we’re revisiting inCruises for an update.

The Company

inCruises is still headed up by founder and CEO Michael Hutchison.

In the footer of InCruises website branding for “inGroup International” now appears.

INGROUP INTERNATIONAL LLC was formed in San Juan Puerto Rico in 2018 as our founders moved the international headquarters and themselves to the “Isla del Encanto” (the Island of Enchantment).

The move boosted global expansion within the cruise industry while developing additional value in resorts and hotel vacation options.

InGroup International was co-founded by Hutchinson and Frank J. Codina.

Codina popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2014, as co-founder and CEO of
Neurs
.

Neurs, a social network MLM company, appears to have collapsed on or around 2015. Seven years later, Codina is credited as CEO of Neurs on InGroup International’s executive page.

I’m all for executive history disclosure (which inGroup International otherwise does an excellent job of), but this is a little misleading as it suggests Neurs is still around.

Back in 2018 Hutchison ran inCruises from Florida. Today he and Codina are both based out of Puerto Rico.

For the purpose of billing inCruises cites three companies on their website;

Incruises LLC in Florida;

Incruises Europe SLU in Andorra; and

Ingroup International LLC in Puerto Rico

🤖 Quick Answer

What is inCruises and its current corporate structure?
inCruises is a travel company founded by Michael Hutchison. Operating under the parent company inGroup International LLC, established in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2018, the organization relocated its international headquarters to Puerto Rico. The company underwent a significant upgrade to version 2.0, repositioning itself as a travel provider with modified operational frameworks and business offerings.

What concerns have been raised about inCruises' business model?
Critics have questioned whether inCruises adequately addresses pyramid recruitment concerns inherent in its structure. Community feedback indicates that following the 2.0 upgrade, the company transformed into a standard travel provider without distinctive competitive advantages, raising concerns about the sustainability of its direct sales compensation system and recruitment-dependent revenue model.
