What I am not understanding is you cannot book more than 4 staterooms doing it myself (w/out having to call) and it says 8+ rooms is the minimum.....

How? Would you be willing to explain to me @TXcruzer

thank you all. Especially to @Sharla. Your assistance has been invaluable and I TRULY appreciate it.

@DoomSlayer The shady travel agent. The part i am having a hard time understanding is how there is a reservation in my husbands name. Yes we are trying to get away so perhaps i am giving her "more power" than she really has.

She refuses to remove the "hold" she has on it. RC can't do anything with it, but how are we going to be able to book if it's showing as an actual reservation.....

I am just baffled that someone is acting this way! My husband's "hold" now has her name listed. SHe said I am "price gouging". This has turned into a very poor experience. Is there someone I should complain to ?

Dm'd you @Sharla

The plot thickens! Now this person has threatened that we have a binding agreement and we can only book through her cause she has exclusive rates ( this started when we noticed it was a reservation instead of a hold). We didn’t put a Deposit down luckily but I’m so confused and frustrated now. I really was trying to find just get quotes and now this has turned into…whatever it is. Any helpful advice on what to do with this bully is very welcome. I’m at a loss.

@OCSC Mike would you mind explaining to me a bit more about the group booking? Like you mean they could as us to a group so that we'd qualify for a discount?

@DanielB @Sharla @MarvinS Would you mind sharing their contact info with me?

@OCSC Mike I'm intrigued!

Only get a group discount if 8 rooms and more. NCL is 5 which is the amount we'd need.....sounds like it's more of a personal decision and there is no wrong or right. Thanks for the suggestions.

Mostly out of curiosity, I reached out to a travel agent, but once all was said and done, it didn't seem to provide any incentives and in all honesty, it seemed better to book ourselves (which we have done for all of our cruises). Which brings me to my question. Do you or have you used an agent for your cruise vacations? If so, does it seem to provide better pricing, OBC, discounts, ?

Sailing out on Sunday. How was your experience with this terminal? I have read some older comments about it being "disorganized" but that was from at least 1+ year ago. I think (may be incorrect), but I think the Harmony is one of/the first of the Oasis class to be at this port. I reckon there's not a difference in terms of process but just curious if you found that it went smoothly. We've had different experiences with the different terminals we've been to and am interested to see what the consensus is.

@SpeedNoodles That's wild!
