A NEW CRUISE
I don't think you will regret it. We booked with them last summer and they
were very helpful. I prefer to book directly with the cruise line, but would use VTG again, if their price is better. Mike www.uCruiser.com "Surfer E2468" wrote in message ...

I prefer to book directly with the cruise line, but would use VTG again, if their price is better. Mike Why on earth would you prefer to book directly with the cruise line? Do they track price reductions for you? Will the notify you if the price drops? Do they get you upgrades if the price goes down after final payment? Will they price compare other lines to see if there are any specials before you book or make final payment? Will they fight for you if the ship doesn't post the cabin credit to your on board account? Will they try to find you the insurance that best meets your needs? Booking directly with the cruise line seems like one of the more illogical things you can do. --Tom |

The advice a good travel agent gives you is priceless...It is as if they are afraid that the T/A is going to cost them more by charging for his/her services...That is not true....One saves money by booking through a reliable and knowledgeable travel agent. --Jean |

A NEW CRUISE
So far have not had our deposit posted on the cruise line,but then
ithasonly been a few days,and when i e-mailed ALAN FOX of VTG he answered me within 5 minuets,now that is a first for any travel agent we have used. We will just have to take a wait and see attitude. Also they have to send our papers thru snail mail,since my little web does not have a printer. cruise lover(~~~~~) .. |
