I don't think anyone said that TA is the only way to get great discounts. I think that the poster was just saying that, for the, the price discount is more important than having the control to call Princess themselves. I've done it both ways, and right now, I prefer to get the TA discount. Although each of the last 4 cruises that I have booked, I have compared rates going direct and with 2 other travel agencies.

We really liked out travel agent that we had used for several years. She always beat Princess's price, as well as other agencies that we had checked. She retired during the pandemic and we started using someone else in her office. We don't like her as much as the previous agent, she isn't as accessible, but her pricing and the agency perks we get really are great. As for needing attention quickly, we can always get someone else in their office if need be, that can either get ahold of her or take care of our issue.

We had a balcony in a room that held 3 when we traveled with my Dad. The third bed pulled down, but it wasn't above the one near the balcony, it was next to the back of the closet wall. I slept on it and it wasn't bad.

I understand all of this, while they are all valid points, it isn't info that I don't already know. In a perfect world, I would be sitting in Fort Lauderdale by mid-afternoon the day before, sipping a cocktail by the pool. However, sometimes with various work obligations, taking off the day before isn't possible. I was looking for actual experiences that people have had with EZ-Air. We did go ahead and book our flights through EZ Air, the day of. We have a direct flight leaving Chicago at 5:15am, so it does give some time cushion. Also, with it being a direct flight, we don't have to worry about a connection. One day we will both be retired and we can easily go the day before! LOL

Hello! We have a cruise booked, Nov 19th on The Enchanted. We held off on airfare at the time of booking (mistake) and now we are looking to book. We would like to go into FLL the day before, due to all of the airline concerns. However, we both work still and we have flown in Day Of several times in the past, with no issues. If we did a Day-Of fly in, we would book it thru Ez-Air, to give us somewhat of a comfort level. Has anyone on here booked Day-Of thru EZ Air and had their flight delayed or cancelled and Princess had to jump in to get you to your cruise? Could you tell us what they did for you and how it worked out? Also, we do realize that flying in the day before is the BEST scenario. We are just looking at this option and are looking for experiences that people have had. Thanks!
