I too was told by email by a large USA t/a that they couldnt book Australians.
I book a cruise and any other travel online if possible because I am suspicious Australian t/a's have put pressure on cruise lines to adopt this policy.
Also having dealt with four of the largest t/as in Australia, I have found their service drops dramatically once they take your deposits. I found they are all on commission, thus if your consultant is away from the office, knowone else wants to help you and assist in any way - they will not answer (ignore) emails and phone calls.

I have complete control by booking online.
