So you book with the cruise line and then somehow give it to a TA?  Don't they lose out on their commison?

Can someone please explain this "moving booking from cruise line to TA"

What's the purpose of doing that?

Thanks

You and one or two other have mentioned booking direct and then tranferring the booking to the TA.  What is the purpose of that?

Thanks

I have a similar question as well... first toime cruiser and I gave a reommneded TA an area we'd like to cruise.  They came back with sevral suggestions (dates, itineraries and cruise lines) and are waiting for us to pick a few.

I supopose I could book them myself but unlike when I book flights and hotels (which I do all the time) I'm wondering if I am leaving something on the table.

I have heard a bit about watching for deals... How does that work?  Is that for low to mid-tier cruise lines?  

Thanks!
