Ontariocruisers99 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Love that you posted this, have been pondering this for awhile and reached out to a local TA today for our 2025 cruise. Was advised to book it on Next Cruise during our Feb 2024 cruise and have it transfered to the TA. That gets us 2 OBC and a significant discount. The 2025 cruise will be our 5th, why didn't we do this sooner! Better late than never I suppose. mickjacket and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeloAl Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Yep. I just booked 2 rooms on Wonder for June 2024 with a TA and it was about $2000 less than booking direct with Royal mickjacket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also already have my room assignment locked in vs gty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimnKathy Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 A good TA not only gets you as good if not better deals and extra OBC, but take care of any snafus that come up between the time of original booking and the actual sailing. I cannot imagine NOT working with our TA when going on a cruise. PeloAl and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, then I know who to blame if the ship is trashed or out of food/drinks when we get on board. Congratulations on the anniversary! mickjacket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
