Move Booking to TA

[Mellylucy]

Is it possible to move a booking I've made through MSC website to a Travel Agent?

Yes.
The complete answer is when did you book with MSC?

There is a time limit for transferring a booking to TA. 
My memory is 30 days, but it may be different now.

Thank you!

I'm going to forward it to the TA. It's less than a week that I've made the booking!

Following…….it’s been about 3 months since making a booking directly with MSC then that very same day contacting our TA and asking him to initiate the transfer. He warned it would take quite some time for MSC to react. 

I’ve discussed the pending transfer several times with our TA and he’s not yet received a response from them. 
 

Interested in hearing from others on how long a transfer typically takes. (I sincerely hope I’m not hijacking this thread.)

Any further thoughts on transfer timing?

I've heard that it must be done in 7 days... I've also heard that MSC makes a big deal about releasing the bookings to TA's.

Neither has mine. And I’m afraid to call them myself for fear of them screwing up my reservation.

The travel agent must contact MSC. It must happen within 60 days. Typically the sooner the better. getting too many people calling about the reservation is only going to confuse the situation. I believe there is a form they need to fill out and submit.
