Should I bother with a TA
I think it depends on personal preference and a good TA. We decided to go
on a cruise at the last minute. I called my favorite TA, bada boom we're booked. No muss, no fuss. Was it the best deal? I might have spent a few hours (probably a lot of hours) trying to save a few bucks but I would rather give my business to an individual that I know rather than a faceless dot com or corporation. But, having said that, if I had a similar experience as what you related, I might feel different. Phil ......is lazy but got a good deal and a 3 cat upgrade anyway. Thanks, favorite TA.;) This is not a slight on TA's. They do valuable work but I ask a legitimate question to the group - why should experienced cruisers, people like me, bother? |

Should I bother with a TA
We have always booked cruises on line or phoned the cruise line.
(since we prefer Celebrity/Royal Caribbean, we have a favorite cruise coordinator) He has always returned our phone call when he wasn't available at the time we phoned. He has arranged same room booking for us on back-to-back cruises. He has arranged upgrades time and time again. He has emailed us with notice of credit when the price went down. He is a very pleasant, helpful man to deal with. I can't imagine getting better service anywhere. "Philip and Heather Johnson" wrote in message ...
