Travel Agent for Cruises
in Travel
Happy New Year everyone! Can anyone recommend a travel agent to contact for cruises? This will be my first time booking a cruise for a large amount of people and I would feel more comfortable using a travel agent.
Re: Travel Agent for Cruises
Exactly. Plus when we booked directly with the cruise line, every time the price changed he called to let me know.
I've had good experiences working with a few different agents from CruCon.com, and once working with Marlene Battle (http://www.mbcruises.com/) who was recommended by some friends.
(I've had mediocre experiences both times I've booked with vacationstogo.com)
I sent you a PM... I highly recommend going with a private agent rather than the cruise line. You can get much more personalized service, and have a person who will help you if anything goes awry (though hopefully not!)
Good luck with whatever you decide!
Smartcruiser.
Funny story about them. My mom used to be a TA, so she always books her own stuff. However, she saw smartcruiser had better pricing online than going direct. Normally she'd just book electronically, but she had a question and called. The woman who answered the phone was actually one of her close friends and previous co-workers. My mom had no idea the place she called was even local.
We booked through them a couple years ago and got a better price than direct as well. Basically, it's the same price overall, but they give you some back in onboard credit. Or they'll offer a free upgrade or something. I'm not in the market for a cruise now, but I'll get emails about sales every so often.
