FINDING THE BEST CRUISE AGENT

Not many people, including seasoned cruise passengers, know that finding the right agent to book their cruise is as important as deciding which cruise to choose. Not all travel agents are alike - even those specializing in cruises.

One tip in finding the right cruise agent is to find one that specializes in the cruise line you prefer. These agents are often able to get you discounts.

Another tip is to make sure the agent you use are members of some affiliated association that marks them out as knowledgeable. Members of CLIA(Cruise Line International Association) area a good bet.

Or you could use the unique company like Cruise Compete who have established a system whereby you choose the cruise you want and then let several travel agents compete with the best price. You don’t have to reveal yourself or commit to anything until you’re ready and think you have found the best price. No pressure to settle.
