Advantages to booking through Agent?

[donnam504]

Thinking of booking 2nd cruise.Booked first through a travel agent.Was nice to have someone walk us through 1st timer questions, but we are (most likely) travelling same ship & route. Are there advantages to booking through an agent?

There are advantages if you run into problems, the agent has to work on fixing them.

 

However, there are also disadvantages like not being able to change anything or see much on the RCCL website.

The only advantages I can think of....possible perk like OBC or gift....and someone to help you if there is a problem.

The downside is you HAVE to go thru the agent for everything....questions, changes, etc..,RCI won't talk to you once a TA has the reservation.

 

If you know what you want, then it's quite simple to book directly with the cruiseline, and then you will deal directly with them for everything.
