Tarpeian Rock Posted September 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Our next Oceania cruise was booked through a TA with whom we've become dissatisfied, and at least for the moment we intend to book the cruise after that one directly with O. Question: does the presence of a TA on our O record persist in such a way that even if we do book a subsequent cruise directly, the TA is somehow kept in the loop with respect to cruise documents, etc., by some kind of computer default? Do we have to do anything special with O to ensure that the TA's record of involvement is limited to that one cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2014 When booking just tell them you do not want the previous TA on file to be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no fuss travel Posted September 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2014 LHT is correct. Let the onboard Oceania ambassador know that you are no longer using that TA and will notify them once you find a new TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceberg 3 Posted September 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2014 LHT is correct. Let the onboard Oceania ambassador know that you are no longer using that TA and will notify them once you find a new TA. Tried that, and didn't quite work as planned. Seems the original TA gets half the commission ("because they did half the work"). I was very displeased. If possible cancel and rebook with your new TA. I couldn't because my catagory was no longer available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP is talking about booking a new cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted September 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I always find that there are benefits to booking with a TA over booking directly with the cruise line. Suggest that you select another TA before your cruise so you can get that TA in the loop. If you book with Oceania and then find a TA, you have only a short period of time (thinking 30 days - could be longer) to transfer your booking to your new TA so they receive the commission.

I agree with you, however you need to besure your using a "GOOD TA" with your interest. not the TA's. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrHemlock Posted September 22, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Totally agree! She booked me a one-way ticket to heaven with unlimited…well…never mind. You guys (assuming your moniker does, in fact, indicate that there are two rather than just one person with a weird compound name) are the funniest.
