When we go to our travel agent,she is glad to see us because she knows we have all the information she will need,we know exactly what cruise we are taking,what cruise line,what ship,what cabin,which dining time, all she has to do is book it. We do all the work,she reaps the credit. cruise lover(~~~~~) Does she give *you* credit (i.e. a discount or an OBC) as many online travel agencies do, based on the the volume and other discounts they get from the cruise lines? Or do you really believe she can beat the best online price for the cruise you selected? |

There are things that travel-bots can do, but so far they can't talk to you and offer options based on a conversation with you. They do intend to use an agent once they are ready to book the trip. Right now, they are still doing research. I think both are a little overwhelmed with all that's available. Stef Why not use one now so they can actually talk to the agent and speak for themselves instead of channeling through you? The agent won't charge them for their knowledge or information so why not contact them now? I asked the same thing. They, really the future husband, whom I've know for almost 20 years, told me he never likes to enter any situation unprepared. Actually, I think, he doesn't trust anyone who works on commission. Stef Probably because they have a vested interest in the outcome, such as their income and keeping their job by providing income for the company. I walk in furniture stores or electronic stores, I usually tell the sales people right off I don't need their help. This usually because I've done my research, and know exactually what I want. But that's just me, others may need help. When I'm buying, I go fully researched, too, except I usually play dumb, but not dishonest, to evaluate the sales associate's integrity. Caveat emptor.

I have been experiencing the Caribbean with the Royal Caribbean cruise line for quite some time now and I have to say that from all the cruise lines that I have tried going to that same location, I have enjoyed most are the vessels from the Royal Caribbean. I have always reserved a balcony room and it is one of the best. It is not cheap but the comfort and luxury that you can feel in it is awesome. The food is great even when we are still in the boat and even better around the areas of San Juan...
