Booking your cruise

[fireguy091]

Its been a few yrs since I've booked a cruise. I used to use on-line agents. Then they stopped giving the cut rates. So where and how does everyone book there cruises now.

Personally, I book through the cruise lines website myself. I like researching the cruise and with the internet at our disposal, it's really easy and I feel that I control it better. You'll have many TA's tell you otherwise soon after my post though!:eek:

If I'm going to sail RCL, then I call them directly since the price will be the same whether I go thru them or a TA.

 

If I'm going to sail another cruise line, I'll use an online TA.

 

In any case, when I first start shopping for a cruise, I use an online TA website to narrow down my choices.
