We just did this a few months ago. Booked directly with Princess since I find it easiest to look around at cruises, flights, etc from home. I didn't even really consider using a TA. After talking with one for a bit though, they didn't have any discount options for our particular cruise but they were able to get us airmiles for the cruise cost so we switched. The process was simply to sign a form that she prepared and faxed to Princess. All of our booking info was retained so I am not sure why anyone would be told that they would have to cancel/rebook. A side benefit later was that the price dropped and I was able to get the discount by grabbing a screenshot, sending a quick email to her, and she took care of calling Princess, sitting on hold, etc.
