Making reservations

Is it best to make cruise reservations over the phone or online?

Whatever works (or is comfortable) for you. We've booked over the phone as well as online. Either way gets you on the ship.

Agree. There is no wrong answer here. Just as long as everything is documented fully, you are good to go.

Thank you!

Half the people here will tell you phone, half will say online, another half will say to use a TA and the final half will just get irritated because my math is wrong. ;)

If you are fortunate, you will get a "cruise consultant" who is both well-informed and willing to take time and make the effort to be helpful. That can make the process a bit better to book by phone. Certainly when it comes to air booking, you want to do it on line to saved the penalty fee most airlines charge for telephone booking.

Choose whichever gets you the better price!

Do whatever you feel comfortable with. I prefer doing it on line. It works well for me.

Happy cruising!

Yes.

DON

I do a combination of both..research online..and put a 24 hour hold on some cruises or phone directly to RCI with their website in front of me..Either way it's very easy to do. You can then keep the booking yourself (as I do) or as some prefer to then transfer it to a TA.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

Some people are comfortable with booking on line while others prefer to book over the phone.

We have been fortunate to have a TA where we live that we have used for over 24 years.
