Trail46 Posted April 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Checking internet agencies for pricing and they are exactly the same as the Celebrity site. Why is that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl3 Posted April 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Because TA's are no longer allowed to discount Celebrity and RCI cruises. I believe this went into effect a couple of months ago. The only way a TA can get you a better price is to rebate part of their commission to you, the customer. Otherwise, prices will be exactly what the cruiseline advertises.

Trail46 Posted April 15, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Thanks! Had hoped to get a discount, but guess that isn't going to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandbuoy Posted April 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2006 this has been giung on for over a year. there are at least 2 ways to get discounts however: a) TA's get blocks of rooms from X ( at good prices) b) when ship's not filling up well ( or per plan) X runs "happy hour specials", than can significantly lower the price. You have to be receiving regular e mail from some of the internet TA's to be made aware of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisePRN Posted April 15, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I'm on the Oct 5 sailing on the Constellation. According to the X web site it's close to sold out. I've been told Canada/New England is a very popular cruise. I book directly with X since there are no discounts and that way If I want to call X and change anything I can do it myself. I changed my cabin once to a better one as it became available. Good luck getting what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
