flamomo Posted June 16, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Sandee ..... my first cruise was booked via a TA, by the person I was cruising with. Anytime I had a question or concern, I had to go thru the TA to get it answered or resolved, somtimes having to wait days until she got back to me. For all of my other cruises, I have booked directly with Princess, and am much happier .... I have control of the bookings, and can go right to the phone and call Princess and get what I need taken care of. No middle-person! I monitor the Princess website and watch the fares for my booked cruises, and if a fare reduction occurs or there is a sale that does not specify "new bookings only", I call Princess and get my fare(s) adjusted. I guess it all comes down to what you feel comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gertz Posted June 16, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2012 If there was or is a good TA out there I have not found one and I have looked because of what others have said. But I have found they are very quick to penalize you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted June 16, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I recently booked a cruise with Princess and then transfered it to a TA. I saved nearly 20%.BINGO! And, ditto although the percentage depends on the cruise and category. Plus, I'm getting $100 OBC and wine. I have complete control over my booking as my TA knows more than Princess CSR's.

Kamloops50 Posted June 16, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Is it better to book through Princess or T.A.? Thank You, Sandee It depends on the TA . I established a business relationship with a TA , she was very good. Answered or got answers from Princess ASAP . She would book exactly what I wanted or upgrade in that category with my permission only. Never tried to up sell or change me to another cruise-line.
