Hey Michael,
I think part of the reason is I never use a TA, I always book on line and then call Captains Club with special requests, cabin changes or price changes. Never had to cancel and rebook. Takes out the middleman or woman. I booked a few times with cruise.com in years past, never much liked them, even if I could save a couple dollars. AND if you cancel a cruise (even the day after you book), they snatch $50 off the top for a booking "fee" and you wait weeks for your deposit back. No thanks - LOL

Celeb always had the money back within 48 hours.

Of course, now that I am once again a newbie...ick! with Princess...I'll have to get used to not receiving the "Celebrity Treatment"...in more ways than one. I've got top tier status with most every line out there except Princess, but it's the only one I'd consider in 2008, after sailing Celeb since the 90's. They've all changed....a lot.

Have a good weekend,
Connie
