We are about to book our second cruise and our first with Ponant. I am still pretty mystified by the world of cruising, and we have never used travel agents in the past. For our first cruise on Silversea, someone suggested I move our booking to a TA, and we did. That was great, and the TA was helpful. For this trip I have been writing back and forth with Ponant because questions keep coming up, and I am still too "hands on" to be patient enough to go through a middle man. The Ponant rep has been very helpful and is holding a cabin for us. If I move the booking to the TA, will that rep lose their commission? Do they work on commission if they work for Ponant? Thanks for any insight!
