JumpandCruise Posted March 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Wanted to get someone's opinion on this: I normally book Carnival cruises using a travel agent competing website. I found a good deal through one- he is quoting me the same price as Carnival, but with a good amount of OBC. When I called to discuss and book, he told me I wouldn't actually get OBC, but he would deduct the quoted OBC amount from the cost of the cruise. Have any of you heard of this being done? What is the reasoning behind this? It just seems... odd to me. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted March 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It does seem a little odd to call it "OBC" if he/she is actually just reducing the cruise price. It could be he/she has no mechanism to actually apply OBC to your booking?? Either way, you're getting the benefit of the TA's largess. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted March 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The TA we use for princess cruises will do it this way also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted March 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Our ta does this also. Specifically, they reduce the deposit by the amount. Last time we used them it was $300 Sent from my SM-G930P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
