Transferring Booking to TA?

[dolphincruiser404]

I just booked a Southern Caribbean for December, and for the first time ever, booked right through the cruise line. What are the advantages to transferring the booking to my TA?

I have found from personal experience that it is much easier dealing with someone local for paperwork, questions, and problems if they arise. I have been able to easily transfer bookings I have make online direct with RCCL and also bookings I have make while on-board. And the credits given for the reservations made while on-board also transferred. I simply find it more convenient once I find the best deal. Bottom line is there is no down side to it.

After I negotiate everything I need with the cruise line, I book with a T/A that will give me free travel insurance. Other T/A's will give you a shipboard credit.

 

With Royal Caribbean, there is no dickering with the sticker!! Any T/A that trys will find themselves out of business. But they can do other things for you, and having someone that can fight on your behalf is very good!
