Travel Agent Questions

We are planning to book the 9/21/16 10 day PG trip . We did the same trip in 2013 - it was awesome, and last year we sailed Windstar 10 days Turkey and Greece on Star Pride, a huge disappointment. We booked both trips directly through the cruise line, then switched over tO AMEX to take advantage of platinum card perks. We have met many people who have talked about shipboard credit and other amenities and I have not the slightest clue how to find a TA who can provide decent credit. We don't expect the price of the trip to be discounted. Is there anyone out there can help ? Would you PM me ?

Thanks so much,

Meg

Please note the following from the Travel Agent Recommendations section in the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic memberships:

There shall be no third-party recommendation (whether positive or negative in content) of travel agencies on any forums within Cruise Critic. General discussions regarding the TYPE of AGENCY to be used to purchase a cruise will be allowed, as long as no recommendations for any source of purchase are posted.

Touting of your personal cruise agent or cruise line "personal cruise consultant" (or any other venue by which you purchase a cruise) is not allowed on our message boards. Postings that contain "tell them John sent you" will be removed without notice.

This means you should not ask about someone's travel agent, nor should you respond in kind. Offering to email someone your travel agent's name or info is also not allowed, nor is asking members to email you for the information.

Cruise Critic will remove violations of the "third-party recommendation" guideline without warning. Additional posts may result in permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Please click here http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=62 for the Cruise Critic article titled Finding a Cruise Travel Agent. Hopefully, it will help you find a good TA.

Due to the fact you have violated the Guidelines by asking your fellow Cruise Critic members to contact you with their travel agent information, this thread is closed. Normally, it would be removed at once. This way, you will see this reply and not wonder why your thread was removed.

Thanking you in advance for your future cooperation concerning the above Guidelines as well as the rest of them,
