shashy Posted October 24, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi Again, I have two questions that I know everyone will be able to help me with! Thanks in advance!!! 1. If it is against regulations to talk about specific TA's, if there is a bad experience with one wouldn't it be helpful for all to know???? 2. I actually spoke to a PVP yesterday. She has same price as my TA but she kept talking and talking about upgrades like she was selling that aspect!!! I don't know how to feel about that-do I trust her?

lvtotrvl1 Posted October 24, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2007 There are always two sides to every story, so a bad experience could be caused by anything. Good reason not to have referrals or complaints . The cruiselines will try to sell upgrades. Maybe the PVP thinks it is a great deal and trying to let you know. Book with whoever you feel comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted October 24, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am sure there is a regulatory agency that you could report a bad TA to if they are breaking some kind of rule. If they just don't give good service, then of course the regulartory agency would not apply. If you are trying to decide between TA or PVP, it depends if you need the "face time". I always recommend that folks that are just starting out (or for some reason feel they need a little more hand holding) go with a TA. However, since we are past that, our PVP works well for us. I already know the ship, date, cabin and price before I call him. All I need for him to do is book it and watch out for price decreases! (we can't do upgrades) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted October 24, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi Again, 1. If it is against regulations to talk about specific TA's, if there is a bad experience with one wouldn't it be helpful for all to know???? That is a moot point. The fact is that Cruise Critic has it's policies, and naming any agent or agency is against the rules. In order for us to be able to stay and play here and gain a wealth of information, we follow their rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DqALEX Posted October 24, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I would never drop my PVP. I like to book right at the source with Carnival. For air I go to the airline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
