UK cruiser - can we use USA travel agent?


Recommended Posts

Hi, yes you can.

 

This is our 9th cruise and we've booked 8 of those with US agents. If you are happy getting the best price and just need to basically book a cruise there is a site I have used where agents compete for your business by offering onboard credit to win your business. I have used this site for most of our cruises and once had average service and the rest had excellent service.

 

If you would like more traditional service from a TA in USA you can search for one of the many great cruise agents.

I've used a US agent this year with no problems.

 

One advantage is that you should get the benefit of any price reductions more easily than if you booked with a UK agent.

 

One disadvantage is the current exchange rate. The site where you put in your intended cruise, cabin category etc and then wait for offers from US agents seems good and I may well use it for next year's cruise.

Is it possible for you to send me the website details for the US TA where they bid for your business please. Thanks.

We have a USA agent, do compare as they are not always the best deal so sometimes wecusecthem and sometimes we don't

 

We also came across some agents from a very well known vacations website on our last cruise and they gave us a direct extension number to try stating they have lots of uk customers so will give them a go too

 

Would love to know who the comparison one is though

You may find the clue is in your last sentence....................or the second part of your first sentence.

Hi looking to see if we can book via US travel agent, at the moment Celebrity prices seem to have gone up considerably (well they have on the cruise we want to do!). Is this possible?

 

 

Yes, as long as you arrange your own air. Book cruise only.
