Question regarding booking a cruise

[shayelle]

So we've been on about 9 RCCL and 2 Celebrity cruises. I've booked them all myself through the RCCL or Celebrity website. I prefer it this way to keep control. Well, we're looking at booking a summer Caribbean cruise on Allure. One of the big online travel websites is offering quite a bit of OBC. What are the drawbacks of booking this way? I know I won't be able to deal with RCCL directly if there are any price drops. Do the big online sites do price drops before final payment? I am super hesitant to book this way but it's quite a bit of OBC for 2 cabins so it's so tempting! Any insight would be appreciated.

You would have to contact the travel agency to get their specific policies. I'd ask about cancel fees, change fees, price drops, perk reduction if there's a price drop, etc.
