welove2cruise* Posted February 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Is there a forum to ask about experience with particular agencies? I have a good price from one I haven’t used before so wanted to get info if possible from others who have booked with them.

sanger727 Posted February 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I don’t know of any. I like to try looking up businesses on the BBB website before using. And google search the name of the business with add ons like ‘reviews’ or ‘complaints’ Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix1181 Posted February 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Sorry. Naming travel agents and/or agency's is against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welove2cruise* Posted February 21, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ok that’s what I thought. I realize they don’t want fake posts but it would be helpful. The agency is going to do a courtesy hold and I will verify everything is good with NCL. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbryan5 Posted February 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just google the agency and read the reviews. Very, very stupid rule on this site about not being allowed to name places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted February 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just google the agency and read the reviews. Very, very stupid rule on this site about not being allowed to name places. Why is it stupid? This place would be over run with shills for different agencies if it was allowed which would clog up the boards. It stinks in cases like the OP's but what can you do?

newmexicoNita Posted February 21, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I don’t know of any. I like to try looking up businesses on the BBB website before using. And google search the name of the business with add ons like ‘reviews’ or ‘complaints’ Sent from my iPhone using Forums It is a good idea to check out any business, but unfortunately BBB really isn't much help. I would think just googling the company there should be information; maybe using YELP would help. I can understand why we can not mention names on here. There are 2 reasons: one is phony information offered by customers who have a personal reason for posting negatives and the other is :free advertising for a company. It is also important to remember and this goes for all of us: it is more common for people to post a negative experience than a positive one so take reviews and comments somewhat with a grain of salt.

Rare EllieinNJ Posted February 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I think Trip Advisor has customer reviews on travel agencies. I did a search on mine and a whole thread came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Tom Posted February 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just google the agency and read the reviews. Very, very stupid rule on this site about not being allowed to name places. Not so much a stupid rule as an economic one. CruiseCritic has "partners" that pay a fee to CruiseCritic so they can sell cruises. These fees help cover the costs of running a forum like this. It wouldn't be fair to non paying agencies to advertise. Click on the "Find a Cruise" at the top of the page to see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a local travel agency in my hometown, He has been in business many may years and is a Certified Travel Consultant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted February 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2018 There’s still travel agency’s????? Where have you been lately? With all the changes in travel many agents are busy night and day. I know ours certainly is. They operate differently than in years past, but they are still in demand. As a rule they can save travelers both money and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
