Most cruise lines do not allow travel
agents to advertise prices lower than the cruise lines offer to those who book
directly with the cruise line.
However, some do allow travel agencies to
discount by rebating part of the commissions, when dealing directly with a
potential customer. If you are shopping the Internet for cruise prices, you're
most likely going to find many travel sites quoting the same price.
But, the
price you're seeing on a travel agent's web site is not necessarily the best
price that travel agency is able to offer you. To find out a travel agency's
best price on a particular cruise, you should call them, or e-mail them a
request for a price quote. Most travel agencies have toll-free phone numbers.
Don't hesitate to call or email them-- you could save a lot!
When times are good or not, travel agents
are your secret weapon!
When it comes to ferreting out bargains for your next cruise, whether to
Alaska, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe or Mexico, or wherever, did you know
your travel agent can do side-by-side cost and stateroom comparisons of over
a dozen cruise lines at one time.
Form a Group. Save BIG!
Did you know
the most overlooked way to stretch your dollar is to form your own cruise
group. Traveling with family or friends, or both, can lower costs enough so
you can travel even when the economies not that good. Of course, most of us
don't have the time - or inclination - to make the calls and do the research
for an entire group. It's a big job. On the other hand, booking a group
cruise is easy for a professional travel agent. Your agent can create a
package that works for you, while your group will realize across-the-board
savings from group discounts that your agent discovers.

Tip:
cruise savingsand avoid hurricanes. Weather
According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association, the
Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, but most
storms occur from August to October, with September the most active. While
there's no guarantee that a Caribbean cruise August through October will
be smooth sailing, your chances of being caught in a storm are less than you may
think. And this time of the year, you will find the lowest cruise bargains
around.
Want to avoid
hurricanes no matter what?
Visit Caribbean islands that are south
of the hurricane zone such as Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, as well
as
Trinidad and Tobago.
