I wonder if you can help me. I am looking for a reliable, trustworthy, on the ball travel agent. My girlfriend and I take about 4-5 cruises a year and it would be so much easier for us to have a personal travel agent. Do you have anyone you can recommend? We used one for the last cruise we went on a few weeks ago and it was a disaster. We had to pay $140 out of pocket at the pier, we were promised a $50 onboard credit which never appeared and we were supposed to have champagne in our room. It was our anniversary so it was really disappointing. We got an incredible deal on our stateroom ($200 off per person from Carnival pricing) but the whole experience was not one to write home about. Please if you can help me I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Who did you book with the last cruise? I like Vacations To Go. Have booked with them the last 3 cruises and everything was smooth sailing. Good Luck

We always book with Nancy Bogert - Cruise Planners. Look for her ad at the top of the screen.

We have used a Carnival Personal Planner each time...and we have found their prices to be cheaper than a travel agent...do people really find it alot cheaper to go through an agent?

An agency is going to get the same pricing the cruise line offers. The only down side to using the cruise line agents directly is that travel agents can take a look at all the cruiselines and find the best deal among them.

We always book through Cruise411 at Cruise411.com . We always look at about 5 or 6 differnt places, including Carnival, and we've never gotten a better price anywhere else. You can either book online or call them. Their agents are great and very helpful. I've been nothing but happy with their service.

If you can afford it American Express Platinum Card. Automatice upgrades, if you book a suite you get a $300 room credit. Once you are hooked up with a agent you have easy access with them. I have corrisponed by phone and e-mail.I have used them for personal and group bookings. Very Very helpful also with pre and post cruise adventures.
