Their effect on the purchase decision is some way significant or authoritative." In my (simple) mind we are all essentially ‘influencers’, but from a digital marketing perspective – and this article – an influencer is in fact a slightly nonsense word made up to reference the increasingly sought-after people on Instagram that have a large following, typically above 25k. These are people that, like bloggers, can command huge prices to endorse a product or service. Never mind.

Sometimes a good price, but does not usually compare to what I see my USA friends pay. Covered by TICO here in Ont. And she came through for me again. I sent her the Great Escapes sale info and asked for my recent Panama booking to be refared with a Refundable deposit. I am now paying $850 less for this cruise with a RD! Keeping this TA! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how far down they are on the waitlist. I am guessing there are people from the coast of North Carolina and South Carolina who maybe cancelling. I wonder if they would get the cruise at the same price that they originally paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the TA gave them a break for "their inconvenience". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlady47 Posted September 13, 2019 Author #135 Share Posted September 13, 2019 To set the record straight, it does appear it was Princess who messed up these bookings not the TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, we will never really know. The only one she heard from is TA. And of course the TA is blaming Princess. Let's remember that the TA did not make the credit card payment straight to Princess, a definite red flag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, we will never really know. The only one she heard from is TA. The Travel Agency would have been giving quite a few free rooms with this size of a group, or she could have taken them as extra commission if she choose to do so. That maybe where the free room is coming from. I would have thought the resolution would have been quicker if it had been Princess's error but we will never know. Enjoy Alaska! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
