texasnana Posted March 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I called and used my future cruise credit to RCCL. They said i had to book with them and not a travel agent. After i booked i thought i remember the paper work said my travel agent would get commission? Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, when you booked your NextCruise, it remained with RCI.......once you activate that NC and assign a specific cruise to it, you have 60 days to transfer that booking to a TA. After 60 days, it remains with RCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep your booking with RCI you are in control until the day you board. You can make any changes directly with them. If you see a price reduction you can call and get the adjustment. Transferring your booking to a TA usually means that you have found someone that is offering incentives to get your booking like an OBC or prepaid gratuities. However, any changes must be made by way of the TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted March 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks so much , my TA offered nothing on the last booking. If you consider booking with a TA for some benefit, be sure to ask them the important questions before you book: Do they charge for price drops? How about multiple price drops? Do they charge for cancellations? Do they have RCI charge your credit card (good), or do you pay the TA and then the TA pays RCI? (bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
