SpeedNoodles Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I started checking in for my June cruise --- now I'm getting emails from *the travel agent* that's she's trying to get it done and get my documents to me. Who's supposed to do this when you use a travel agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 We always do our own online check in when booked with a TA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedNoodles Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I guess having her do it is what my $100 service fee went to. The Cruise Junkie and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEI mailed me a folder full of documents once (without any fees). I told them to save the tree next time and printed just my SetSail pass by myself.

A couple of months ago she also offered to arrange our flight with only a $50 booking fee. Ummmm....no.

Paying a travel agent who is already getting paid sounds like a profitable double dip for them. Meanwhile for our Oasis 2020 cruise Costco is paying us 800 bucks in a Costco gift card for booking with them. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costco has grown tired of my insurance company's documentation demands and directed their agents not to respond. I now can only email Costco about this issue. It was a last minute booking around the 45 day mark. What could go wrong? SpeedNoodles and tiny260 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve booked all of our Norwegian cruises through them and have never had a problem (outside of long hold times) and them adding travel to the 2 percent executive benefit makes it even more attractive to use.

JohnJohn Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 It was a nightmare working with Cosco. The gift cand was not worth it. our cruise was cancelled and we were told we couldn't get our money back. After 8 phone calls anda lot of aggravation my wife's Co-worker who is a travel agent finally helped us. We booked with her anditwas smooth sailing!
