When I hear the landing gear being raised when we leave the airport. My mind goes blank regarding anything before that moment. New adventure has started.
We used a travel agent for our first cruise. 37 cruses ago. We book directly with the cruise line because if we hit any bumps, we can resolve them ourselves and not have to go thru a 3rd party.
Casino VIP player here. We always book thru the Casino. Too many great deals and perks. 5 cruises in the last 5 months and 3 more booked. TA's can't beat the deals and, Princess direct never seems to know about the Casino because they are a different business. Ocean Players Club.
