Thank you everyone for your reply! Everybody is right - the anticipation and planning is so exciting!! I am going to surprise her early (which is now LOL) so we can plan it and be excited together! Let the cruise planning begin!!!!

I am surprising my mom with a cruise vacation. She has never been on one and it has always been her dream. I was planning on telling her that we are just going to Florida but here’s the dilemma: she doesn’t have a passport. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can make her get a passport without making it obvious? I’ve got nothing. I was hoping to tell her on Christmas which is only 2 weeks before the cruise. Thanks!

Yes the web price included all of that! I think the problem was the travel insurance - she was using a more expensive travel insurance than what RC offered. I just switched to MEI travel

Hello, I am booking a cruise on Freedom of the Seas for January 8, 2024. I booked with travel agents in the past, but this time I found that the price is cheaper directly on the RC website than what my travel agent offered me. $85 cheaper! Should I stick with the travel agent or book directly on the website? Do the benefits of a travel agent outweigh the more expensive price? Last time, I believe my travel agent gave us onboard credit so I am hoping she would be able to do the same if we do book with her. I would love some advice! Thank you!
