Ian T 162 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I have read a lot of good things about MEI Travel, not only from Matt but also from a number of people on these message boards. I would like to get in on the action but my question is as follows... are MEI's services only available for customers in North America or can I also avail myself of them from here in the UK? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Until now I have booked our cruises directly with RC and it's good to know that when it comes to the next one the MEI team will be able to work on my behalf... and thanks for the recommendation of Michelle too!

As said above you will need a CC that allows US$ payment or a US$ cash transfer. Ian T 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ozwald200 0 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 A couple of questions after reading all the praise for MEI; it has me wondering if I should switch to them. We have used CruCon in the pass and they offer OBC for repeat users. To those that have used both, how does MEI and CruCon compare? Does MEI offer benefits to repeat customers? Can I transfer my current cruise to MEI from CruCon and is it worth it if I loose my OBC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,558 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 While it is possible to move a booking from one agency to another, it is not easy. Crucon would have to willingly give up the booking and agencies don’t want to do that. I’ve done it once. Never again. Better to wait until next time.

AnnetteJackson 687 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Especially right now... I would not try to do anything with a booking that you have set in place. There are so many moving pieces at Royal right now and so few workers.... things could get messed up on any transfer. Plus your agent at the first agency has worked with you to secure the booking and done some work for you. When you are ready to book again, or if you have a FCC that you need to use - that is the perfect time to reach out and start fresh with a MEI-Travel Agent. You can contact one that i recommended thru here, email me and I will have match you up with one, or there is a link on Matt's page where you can request a quote and one of the team of agents that works with RCCL Blog clients will contact you with a quote. sk8erguy1978, YellowBrickRoad, Neesa and 4 others 4 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
