We normally book directly with the cruise line if there's no price advantage, but there are a handful of cruise lines that will offer better pricing through some of their preferred travel agents, so it does pay to shop around. 

 

That was the case when we sailed to Alaska. After some research, we narrowed it down to Holland America which did offer better pricing through a travel agent. We saved a substantial amount of money by not going directly through the cruise line. 

What travel agency did you use, if you don't mind me asking.

Wanting to book a cruise to Alaska next year (we've never been). We've always used the cruise line agent with our other cruises to the Caribbean. We will obviously need to fly, since we are on the east coast. Which one may be able to get us the best rate and the best service all the way through.

There is a main meal from around 6pm to 9pm. in the main dining room. the meals will have Prime Rib on some nights Lobster on some nights etc. These meals are included with your cruise no extra charge and are the best meals of the cruise IMO.

Fantasy, Magic, and Sunshine are ships of entirely different classes. The magic is newer than the Sunshine and the Sunshine newer than the Fantasy. I loved JiJi's Asian kitchen on the Sunshine so that I would recommend that, at least.

Thanks so much for your reply. How is the fine dining? The food we found on the Fantasy was like you would find on the lido deck or a Golden Corral. We loved the food on fine dining on the Magic , it was well worth the cruise. One of the major reason we would go is the food in fine dining .

Inquiring about the food in fine dining on the Sunshine. Our last cruise was on the Magic and the food was great. We did not like the food on the Fantasy except for the desserts.
