Travelocity and Expedia usually have the same prices as Princess. Sometimes they run specials based on which credit card you use. I am not sure whether they get a commission as other travel agents do. Most TAs will give you back part of their commission as a discount. Princess likes people to book directly with them, because then they avoid paying the TA a commission. They also like the TAs, cuz they bring in the bulk of their business...the commission they pay the TAs is worth it for the volume the TAs bring in. A good cruise-specialist TA would be your best bet. There are plenty online.Pea
