SBR2022 Posted March 27 #1301 Share Posted March 27 On 3/15/2024 at 4:50 PM, cruisedreamer2 said: I agree that it is definitely worth it. Travel Agents typically get 15-16% in commission. I have received as much as 13% in cash back, fare discounts and/or cabin credits. (That was when cruising had just re-started after COVID and agents were hungry.) On another cruise I got 10% back. I recently booked a 2 week cruise for my son and DIL and got them an additional $400. off the fare and $600. in cabin credits. Here is my process: First, I comb this forum (which I greatly appreciate) for any discount codes, then I book the cruise myself. Once I have my confirmation of the booking I go to a site that will allow travel agents to bid for my business. I don't know if I am allowed to post that link, but if you put "New tool lets cruise agents bid for your business," it will take you to an article with the link to that site. You have to register for a free account. Then I post on that site that I have already booked the cruise, give the date and ship and cabin number. In the notes section, I ask that the bids include any discounts or cabin credits. Within 1-3 days, I will get 5-6 bids and I just pick the best offer. I give them a call and give them my booking number and they call Viking and have the booking transferred to their agency. I really don't expect any other service from a travel agent--I prefer to do all my own research, choose my own flights etc. So its a win-win for both of us. Within 14 days of booking, I will purchase travel insurance checking both Squaremouth and InsuremyTrip to compare policies/rates (doing it within 14 days gets coverage for any-pre-existing conditions). Then I call Viking and ask them to be sure to send my documents/luggage tags to my home address, otherwise they will send it to the agent. Last I make sure when I receive the new booking confirmation from the agent, that my discounts and cabin credits are shown. Keep in mind, that you have a limited length of time to transfer a booking to an agent. I think with Viking it is 60 days, but I do it as soon as possible. Then, 10 months before the date of debarkation, I go online and choose flights, call Viking Air Plus and ask them to book. With Air Plus, I don't have to go through the agent. So that is my process, gleaned from many years of booking cruises. There is only one way that I know of to get a better price... and that is to become a travel agent yourself. Hope this helps and safe travels friends. When do you pay Viking and how does that work with the travel agent you select? Often with a Viking promo code, you have a very short time to pay in full.

Rare FetaCheese Posted March 27 #1302 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Each promo will have detailed payment terms in fine print of offer. You are correct, for close-in promos V often requires payment at time of booking, or shortly thereafter. For 1 year or 2 years out promos, you would refer to payment terms of promo offer. Sometimes PIF 1 year or longer prior to voyage. Pax with a future cruise already booked, may request a 6 month PIF date. I pay TA on their third party secure payments platform. Charge is posted to credit card statement as Viking Cruises, not name of TA. Edited March 27 by FetaCheese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are in US and it is a larger market where TA compete for the bid. TIA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Yes, I make the deposit when I book, then transfer the booking. I always check the travel agent on the Better Business Bureau to see their rating and I always take out travel insurance that covers financial default, as when you pay an agency, you are counting on them to pay Viking. I have never had a problem with this. The bidding service screens their agents. You don't have to do the booking yourself. You can do the bidding process first, then let the agency book the cruise, but I like to have control of that process myself. I don't want to find out after the fact that some agent forgot to apply a promo code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The payment due date will be the same whether you use an agent or not. The only difference is that once you transfer the booking, future payments are made directly to the travel agency. I have had some success in getting a later due date by telling the Viking agent that I would like to book the cruise and am prepared to do so immediately, but would need a delayed payment date. Sometimes that works, but Viking cruises are popular enough that they can insist on early payment, and I have gotten used to that. I guess it's the price you pay for Success Cake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By paying the agent, he can apply a portion of his commission toward the cost. You just have to weigh whether the savings offered by the agent is greater than the 3.3% deduction.

millybess Posted March 29 #1311 Share Posted March 29 (edited) And, right, we pay nothing to our agent. We pay Viking directly through ACH. That is what gives us the 3.3% discount. Our agent has nothing to do with these payments. Although she does send a reminder to do that about 10 days in advance.

Rare CCWineLover Posted March 29 #1312 Share Posted March 29 I also believe that Viking limits the amount that agents can give their customers on Viking cruises (perhaps unlike other cruise lines). So an agent "giving" their commission to the customer would be in violation of Viking policies - if they ever got caught. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way your comment is written, I think the comments above should set you straight. Viking caps guest benefits based upon sail-date lengths in refundable OBC and doesn't allow agents to rebate their commission monies. Booking or transferring a Viking booking to an agent allows you to still ACH the monies over. Also, if you have Big Box credit card, you can pay thru visa credit and still get the 3% travel CB from Citi. Edited March 29 by Mike07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought the person was saying agents would give back some of their commission (beyond max OBC) and thus could compete with each other to see which one would offer the lowest net price - as does happen with some other cruise lines.

cruisedreamer2 Posted March 29 #1315 Share Posted March 29 Well, I have learned something. I had been told by agents that Viking limits the amount of cabin credit they can give, but nothing about rebates. I had no idea it was against Viking policy. In future, I will only use the bidding site to maximize my cabin credit. Used that way, it is a helpful tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
