jrljel Posted April 9, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hey..are there any TA's out there who know if RCL offers ANY TA rates during June on the mega ships? We're just trying to figure out a way to go on AOS without spending lots of money like we did last year. Any thoughts??? Thanks!

pieshops Posted April 9, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2004 if you are a travel agent wouldn't you know this. You can not get a travel agent rate without your IATA or IATAN card?

jrljel Posted April 9, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Well, I AM a TA and I DO have a CLIA and IATA card. I am referrencing if anyone knows if LAST YEAR did they offer any TA reduced rates on the megaships in June. You don't find out about these until about 2 weeks before the cruse. I just want to know what they had LAST YEAR so I would know what to expect this year.

pieshops Posted April 9, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2004 there are actually 2 types of travel agent reduced rates. 1. space available - which, like you saide is only available 1-2 weeks prior and is the cheapest a 2. confirmed space, that you can make anytime I would suggest calling rccl as they would know definatly if it is available on that sailing Until our Cruise Critic Group Alaska Cruise Come check out the links below for our Cruise Critic group cruise to Alaska - August 2004 http://messages.cruisecritic.com/2/OpenTopic?a=frm&s=927093444&f=9693034447 http://www.cruisecritic.com/interests/groups.cfm?ID=43 Carnival Holiday 1991 Norwegian Sea August 2001 Carnival Triumph August 2003 Celebrity Horizon October 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie78 Posted April 9, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2004 jrljel, As a travel agent, you should be aware that your question is extremely inappropriate and unprofessional for a public board. Any agents from my office would be reprimanded for doing this. Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrljel Posted April 9, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Sorry...I am an outside agent and I've never done this before. I couldn't get an answer from RCL, so I thought that someone here might know the answer, as the people on this board know a lot and I've relied on their answers. I really had not idea that this would be upsetting to anyone. So I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I don't really understand how this could be deemed inappropriate. I do apologize for that.

bthorn1108 Posted April 9, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2004 It's too bad that, as a TA, you're not allowed to list your e-mail address in your signature. If you could, maybe a TA with knowledge or experience with how things went last year, could answer your question in an e-mail, thereby not offending anyone.

Connie78 Posted April 9, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Janey, You should be able to get the info from your host agency. They receive updated information weekly. If not from them, then from RCCL's sales department. Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Last summer...As I recall,TA rates in June where unavailable through RCI on any Voyager Class ships. Availability was limited to Sovereign and Vision Class until September. Radio For Ship and Cabin Pics...Visit :Radio's Cruise Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbie0253 Posted April 11, 2004 #11 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Wow... I work in a retail store and I get a 10-20% discount. Is it wrong to mention it? No. Would I tell customer that? No, but this is a public forum where you aren't even allowed to mention the agency you work for. I would think TA's would also get an "employee" discount of sorts. Why is talking about it wrong? I think a valid question was asked. Bobbie Voyager of the Seas in....

Cabledon Posted April 11, 2004 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I am a person who knows about last year and the year before that, etc. And sadly, this entire thread is loaded with misinformation. (Pieshops -- did you just make up your reply off the top of your head?) No one should pay attention to any of it. Except the part where it is advised that this is an inappropriate topic for a cruise critic board. 23 cruises and counting: Upcoming: Diamond Princess April 24 Voyager of the Seas May 2004 Carnival Miracle August 2004 Explorer of the Seas Dec 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
