Rare JoePDX Posted May 18, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I agree with girlcruiser. We have booked three cruises with bestpricecruises and have had excellent service - plus I haven't found lower rates anywhere else. I think what differentiates them too is you book with one agent and deal with that agent all the way through. Rather than the luck of the draw when you call in to the "call center" with a question.

Randyk47 Posted May 18, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Have to agree with Puba, I'd vote none of the above and write in CruiseQuick. Our Galaxy cruise is booked through them and still haven't found a lower quote....and I've tried! Don't let the lack of "bells and whistles" on their website keep you from trying them...great price and service.

natgasman Posted May 18, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I have used Bestpricecruises.com for many cruises and am impressed with their prices and services.

i-m-ed Posted May 18, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I too would vote "none of the above". I personally have found that Costco is by far the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merriem Posted May 18, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'll vote for cruisequick.com. Lowest prices anywhere. Great service. Merriem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted May 18, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2004 None of the above gets my vote, as well. makingmemoriestravel.com had the lowest price and great service I'm still waiting for a reply from icruise to a question. cruise.com was a pretty good price. cruisequick didn't offer telephone contact, and alo didn't reply to a question.

Lillykat Posted May 18, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I would also vote for bestpricecruises.com - I know many who have used them and have great things to say. Century Honeymoon!!!!

Millenium Posted May 18, 2004 #13 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Cruisequick.com gets my vote. They booked my current cruise. I checked many places and they had the lowest quote, much lower than most. I prefer to book online via e-mails -- so much easier to reach than playing phone tag. They've always answered within a few minutes and been very helpful.

seagulls Posted May 18, 2004 #14 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Direct Line Cruises is the best one that I know of. They book Celebrity and I believe Royal Caribbean exclusively. They are very highly recommended by Celebrity themselves, their prices are excellent and they follow up on every inquiry and question. We have booked our second cruise with them.

nywritestuff Posted May 18, 2004 #17 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I used expedia.com and they were wonderful. We actually called them to ask for more details, and in the process, they got us upgraded to Concierge class for less money than a regular OV cabin with balcony. We arranged our flights and hotel all through expedia. It was wonderful, painless and I would use them in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieB Posted May 18, 2004 #18 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Another vote for cruisequick. Truly the lowest price I've been able to find. You have to know what you're looking for... cruise novices will not like the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garykool81 Posted May 18, 2004 #19 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I've consistently booked with the same T/A at CruisesOnly (associated with Hotwire.com, but not operated the same as their airline/hotel business) and found rates to generally be among the lowest there. The latest cruise I booked for HAL's Zuiderdam in 12/04 I did manage to find for $50 per person less on another website after booking, but that was a first. And, I don't cheat on my T/A...she's been very good to us in terms of customer service and follow up.

kelly-NYC Posted May 18, 2004 #20 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Another vote for cruisequick.com. We even used them for our first cruise. I did some of my own research ahead of time and knew what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wor Lad Posted May 18, 2004 #21 Share Posted May 18, 2004 We've used SkyAuction.com a couple of times and found them easy to work with however, cruisequick.com is best for us. Cruisequick's customer service is excellent if one can live with e-mail only. Dave S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnObie Posted May 19, 2004 #25 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I sent a question about a possible booking to cruisequick.com and got no reply. Have had good results with cruise411.com.... very responsive to my e-mails and phone calls & best prices I could find. Just tried a search at bestpricecruises.com for our May 1, 2005 Infinity cruise and got "0 results found" but will check them out again based on all the positive replies here.
