Default Has anyone ever booked a cruise through one of the internet sites other than a travel agent? Any problems?

I always book directly with the cruise line. However, you might want to shop around with agents a bit to see if they can beat the price posted on cruise line sites. My experience is that they cannot.

Check out http://www.wvtraveldeals.com

•click the "Book Travel" link on the top right to search for your travel needs
•for group travel once in the travel page click the “Group Travel” link on the top right and one of the agents will do all of the work for you to find the best deal to meet your needs

This travel site is the ultimate convenience tool. It combines online convenience and technology with the personal touch that has been lost in order for you to save time and money.

This will search many of the cruise sites for you.

Check out the DreamTrips section as well as there are better than wholesale deals found there for cruises and other travel. More vacations are being added all the time.

You can book any type of travel there as well. For vacations this will search dozens and dozens of travel sites up to 200 sites depending on your search criteria (including all the main ones Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Yahoo, Apple vacations, as well as many many more most people do not even know). It does this all in a matter of minutes and it will return more results than any of the others, which would normally take hours.

I always book directly with the cruise line web sites and I have used Holland America, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean sites for direct bookings. When I have had a question I just called the number on the web site to talk to the cruise line direct, rather than an agent or some other company, and get an immediate resolution of my issue. I have had no problems doing this. Plus I usually make my payment right on line with the cruise line site and then complete all of my pre-cruise information also right on line.

No problems here>

Yes, I have, and never had a problem. Vacations to go is a good one and I have booked on line at Princess.com. I guess the advantage of going through a travel agent is they come up with free bees like ship credit, or wine or flowers in your cabin. But sometimes you can get ship credit by going on line too.

I've never booked a cruise with anything else other than vacationstogo.com
The site has great deals and also last minute tickers which save you a ton of money.
You can't book your cruise online, though, you have to call.
The people who book your cruise for you go over every little detail to see exactly what you want. They're so helpful and friendly. there have been 14 of my cruises booked with them and I've never, EVER had a problem. It's like a travel agent that you don't have to pay for!

If you have any further questions, feel free to send me a message!

Hope this helps!!!! =)
