Informed opinions on Cruise Value Center?

nopcbs, I booked one cruise through CVC 6-7 years ago. The TA
telephoned to let me know my tickets arrived in the office. This
cruise went out of San Juan, so I used the cruise line to book my air.
I asked the TA what time my flights were, but he said it was against
the company's policy to tell me. I would have to wait until the
tickets arrived by mail, although he was sitting there staring at my
documents. I was not happy with his response.

If you are looking for a good TA, just ask some of the people in this
group. I can recommend a few TA's who rebate, they do not charge
cancellation fees, nor do they have policies like CVC. I can assure
you, the TA's I use would have given me my flight information.

Becca,

Given that I book via web site and the air tickets are e-tickets and I pick
the times/flights before I buy, your experience will not occur for me.

Don't know why they would not tell you your flight numbers by phone, but I
guess I can see a security issue there, I suppose. On the other hand, I'd
think you would know what you are buying before you bought it. I sure would
never buy a ticket for any travel unless I knew the departure
time/location/etc beforehand. Not about to risk weird scheduling.
