Just want to add my recent experience in case others look to this thread. I had a tough time deciding if we should book air directly or through Royal Caribbean's Air2Sea (for the July/August 2018 Mediterranean cruise we just returned from). THANK GOD I booked through Air2Sea!! I ultimately decided to book through Air2Sea b/c there were tons of flight/airline options and they were all a couple hundred dollars cheaper than booking direct. (We flew Milwaukee, WI to Barcelona - with one layover on the east coast.) I learned literally minutes before my family of four was leaving the house for the airport that our United Airlines flight was cancelled (they did not email or phone me; I for whatever reason decided to log on and check right before leaving). My heart started racing and I felt sick to my stomach. While my husband called the in-laws (who were meeting us in Barcelona for this trip) I called United. I was on the phone with a nice lady for at least an hour. She tried all kinds of other flights and options and there was nothing she could do for us. We were booked on the same flight the next day. We would still make the cruise (we had planned to arrive a day early), but we would miss our Barcelona hotel stay and the three sites I had already purchased tickets for online (Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, and Casa Batllo). This was a trip we had been saving for and planning for years - a graduation celebration for our twins. I was nearly in tears. I decided to call Air2Sea next. Within about ten minutes the gentleman was able to book us on another airline (something United couldn't do for us) and we arrived in Barcelona just 2 hours after originally planned. Air2Sea saved our trip! I would like to kiss them and send them a Christmas gift this year!! :)
