I am in Knightdale (right outside of Raleigh, NC) and I guarantee that if there was a RC ship out of Charleston, I would absolutely cruise more often (and include my kids/larger groups) because it is such a driveable distance (and Charleston is a fun locale for us since we are foodies). @AnnetteJackson thanks for continuing to encourage RC to try to get something lined up there in the future!

That was such a wonderful post, @Neesa! I have used 3 different TAs in the past but didn’t find one that I love just yet. Hoping that I establish great relationships with the ones I am using for my future cruises ?

Thanks, Matt! Is it frowned upon to cancel with one TA to go with another? I have a number of cruises lined up but want to make sure I’m getting the best deal.

Hi All! Have you had any success with any TA when it comes to onboard credit matching? Say for example, you got a good rate with onboard credit so you move forward with booking the cruise with that TA. Then you find the same rate but better onboard credit offers for the same type of room. What would you do? Do you go back to the TA you booked with to ask if they can match that onboard credit offer? Or do you cancel with the TA and then rebook with the other TA? The deposit is refundable by the way. Thanks in advance for your responses!

1. December 23-27th Holiday Cruise on the Mariner (anniversary trip for my husband and me) 2. July 20-25th on Independence (family trip - hubby, me, my sister, my daughter, and my 2 sons). I cannot wait!!!! ??????

Yep! I am already down the rabbit hole and looking for more opportunities!

I just booked our first family cruise with MEI based on everyone’s recommendations on this thread and I am so excited! We want to travel more as a family so I wanted to make sure we had a great TA to help us along the way! ?
