Matt Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Easiest thing you can do is just fill out the yellow form on RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com and they can assign a new agent to you Sharla, teddy, Reigert2008 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8erguy1978 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I personally made the switch to using a travel agent prior to the pandemic and glad I did. In these times I'd suggest going back to a travel agent, too much change, too much uncertainty. I personally was assigned Kathy at MEI randomly via the affiliate link here and she's been great. I'm sure plenty will chime in with their favorite agent but the affiliate link worked fine for me and I liked not having to randomly email someone.

Fairlynew Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 My MEI agent, Sharla, has been invaluable in helping to navigate all of the uncertainties in Covid. Using her, or any travel agent, costs you nothing, but gives you enormous assistance. Baked Alaska, Sharla and sammy79 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be *that guy* you can get a bad travel agent, so do your homework first (clearly the MEI reputation via this site is quite high) Cruisegirl1976 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharla Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yes, as @Matt said, fill out a form or reach out to one of us directly. I don't know who your last agent was with MEI but if you fill out the form then the admin team will look you up and try and pair you with someone who is similar in terms of how we work.

odysseyfox Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I recommend using a TA for sure. Ours always gives us either cash back or OBC for booking with them. Plus they price check for us. If there is a better deal before our final payment, they contact us to see if we are interested. It's not always in our favor to switch, but sometimes it's great.

CruiseGus Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I will give a shout out to MEI and know that you will be happy, they seem to have a good reputation. Without mentioning my particular agent since you already have one, I will say I am more than please with her and the service she provides. I used to book myself regularly, but now I use her for all my cruises. I will sometimes see a cruise and a cabin, I like and since some disappear pretty fast because I can be particular, Ii will book on line and then when the invoice comes I will send it to her to do the transfer, this just works for me. Special shout out to MEI for sponsoring this blog, as it allows me to mention my agent, who I am ecstatic with in posts, unlike other forums.

teddy Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 @CruiseGus I know from other threads that we are lucky enough to have the same MEI agent as you. We filled out the form on the home page here and hit the TA jackpot. CruiseGus and krhardy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I used to use a friend as my TA, but after she missed some deadlines for COVID and I lost about $3000 in refunds (had no choice but to take FCC) I started booking myself. So yes to a TA, but I wouldn’t mix business and friendship again. Sharla, Reigert2008 and Cruisegirl1976 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we get this new cruise through the paperwork. I still have one other cruise later in the year with the previous agency, that i may pull back from them and manage myself.
