Booking cruises - CruiseDirect vs. Orbitz vs Expedia
Do you have any preferences as to where you book? We're looking at a Canadian cruise out of Boston in July and the prices are all the same.
I swim because I'm too damned sexy for a sport that requires real clothing.
Re: Booking cruises - CruiseDirect vs. Orbitz vs Expedia
we booked ours thru a travel agent at the same price as I found on line. I let her do all the work AND if there are any problems she is the one to handle them. I prefer that!
I book directly through the cruise website unless a TA or third party site offers a great on board credit or something to make it worth it. I like being able to call the cruise line directly to make changes to my cruise (like if I have to change the date or want to change the room) rather then have to call the third party site or TA and have them do it for me.
I like cruisecompete.com. TAs "bid" on your cruise once you specify which cruise and type of room and you can basically pick the one that offers the most OBC or other perks. We've done this several times.
Otherwise I book directly through the cruise line.
