bettina Posted February 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Should we be booking with a travel agent or directly with the cruise lines now due to covid restrictions. Any advantage, disadvantage to either? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gailellen12 Posted February 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2022 TA’s will often give you a discount. The amount usually depends on the price of the cruise. Also onboard credits too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also onboard credits too Just to clarify. Usually the only discounts available through a TA booking with most cruise lines would come from a block of staterooms booked by the agency that may be at a resulting reduced group rate, which also may result in some amount of OBC associated with them. The reduced fare would come from being placed in this block of staterooms. Typically, any further "discount" on the fare or OBC offered would come from their commissions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
