Censored Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I have never used a travel agent for all my cruises and I am diamond +. I am a gambler and a rated member/player with Club Royale. So up to now I have been booking all my cruises direct through Club Royale special designated phone lines, as well as Air2Sea. So I have been reading posts about people waiting on hold through busy times up to 90 minutes trying to connect with a customer rep. This may have happened to me I think maybe once in the last 5 years . Having thinking this through, I would like to know if I could designate a travel agent to take care of my comped cruises and flights . Has anybody done this or must you book direct? Further, I could forward all my email invites for comped cruises to them to take care of it all. Prior to the pandemic I had a designated host from Club Royal to book my cruises...that has stopped. Looking at recent offers I can book a cruise numerous times almost every month of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Some travel agents will book the casino cruises for you, but they don't get the same kind of commission on those comps as they would for a normal booking. I wouldn't expect a TA to handle my comps unless I was giving them business outside of the casino comp sailings as well. A TA will usually only handle the casino comp bookings as a courtesy for an existing client. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 My TA did not seem enthusiatic to take my comp cruises so I did not give them to her. One TA I worked with did not do airlines. I prefer to seek out my own prices, seating, hour of flights etc. Call me a control freak, or call me somone who has been screwed once by crappy flights.....either way, I'll do my own thing and I will call Air2Sea to see if they have something better or close to price for what I've found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
