A wealthy friend decides to take a month's vacation with Seabourn Cruises and knew that the ship, itinerary, departure date and cabin it wanted. She decided to conduct an experiment in the hunt for bargains in cruising called three travel agents and, after relaying the specifics of his desired trip, each agent has informed than he who gave the best price would get her business. She saved thousands of dollars.
Agent who won his travel business he did in rebate. If it is a dirty word in the cruise sector offer discounts, which means agent kicks back part of his commission (usually 15% of cruise fare) to pass along a lower rate.
After 15 years of writing the cruise industry, I still can not see why rebate is bad – not real estate agents and car salesmen are the same? Is it not only Competition base? However, several cruise lines leave no agent cruise travel reimbursement rates, including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Crystal Cruises, Regent Seven Sea Cruises, and to a large extent, Norwegian Cruise Line.
The cruise lines do still offer discounts, but will not travel to authorize the advertising or promotion of a lower price to the public. You must ask yourself.
This means that if your line of sight are set on a Princess, Holland America, Cunard, Oceania, Seabourn and Carnival Cruise, it's worth your time to ask the travel agent if he / she may come with a lower price than you're the former.
Of course, your chances are better in certain cruising areas. At Actual sales of the Caribbean, Mexico, the Baltic Sea, South America and Western Europe Cruises are soft. Hence, here you have a better chance to get a lower price on the Alaska cruise in the Greek islands, which sell a lot better this year.
It's all about supply and demand. And the calendar. For example, traditionally, suites and balcony cabins sell first. But now that the bad economy is coming and there is overcapacity in the Caribbean, Mexico and parts of Europe, you may still find a better deal on the highest price categories. So ask. The only thing a travel agent can say "Sorry, this is the price."
WHEN DO NOT Shop Around: If you have an agent Wonderful journey that you trust implicitly, who led you to deals in the past. To save $ 100 or if it's not worth it.
A warning. Travel agents can rebate the price of a cruise. There are fixed costs, such as port charges, taxes, fuel surcharges and air transport that are never negotiable.
