Cruise - Book through Travel Agent or Cruise Line?
- Travel agents work on commission not paid directly by p angers. You do not pay anything extra to travel agents. One advantage you have by using a travel agent is if you book Carnival, most travel agents have a discount / coupon book they "give" you for free. You will not get that from Carnival, booking directly. Some agents can offer better deals then others. I would shop a few agents with the same dates / ship and see what happens. Here is a good website to compare prices. vacationstogo.com / Hope i helped!
- My travel agent does an excellent job for me, and is always able to get the lowest price fare for me, which is even on occasion lower than what can be found on the "discount cruise" web sites. Her commission is paid by the cruise company. She also handles air fare, hotels, transfers, and insurance better than what is sold by the cruise companies. She even sends a bottle of wine to us in the dining room
- Since you have already done the work of figuring which ship and sail date you want, let the travel agents compete over you. Go to: cruisecompete.com You select your ship and sail date, then get competing quotes from various agents. You can compare offers, then choose to contact the agent / agents with the best offers. Discounts are generally in the 10% range off of the cruise fares. You should not pay any additional "agent' fees - the commissions are paid by the cruise lines, not the customers. Good luck!
- Book through a travel agent as they also give you perks. My travel agent found me a mini suite for $50 more then an ocean view. Booking through the cruise line will not most likely get you these kind of deals
- You will find a better deal by using an agent. Booking direct does not save any money and you will not get extra offers that travel agents can get for you. Good luck!
- My husband and I are avid cruisers 30 plus. The first 10 cruises we used travel agents. On all but 3 of those cruises had some sort of problem caused by the travel agent. Most agents have never been on a cruise. I highly recommend that you book your cruise through the cruise line either by phone or on the internet. Yes, you can get discounts from the cruise lines and the better deals are about 4 weeks out. Hope this helps
- You can visit this site for Free coupon codes, Free Discount Coupons and Vouchers, Free Nights on Airlines and Hotels freetravel4ever. co. cc
- visit this site, it has good discounts and low prices about cruises
- My suggestion would be to see what the best rate is that you can get on your own and then call an agent. An agent can usually meet or beat that rate plus they usually give gifts and do not charge. I am a cruise spe t and I often have people who book with the cruise line and then tell them I am their agent and want the booking transferred to me. Then I can access the booking and be of help if any problems develop and the guest has someone to call for questions. See my info below
