cruizn2escape Posted April 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Looking at a 9 day cruise. On Royal website price was 3100. Then checked an online travel agency, price 2285 for same category. Seems too big of a difference. Does this happen often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted April 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Could be a group booking price on the TA site. No, usually, if you are comparing apples-apples - the price is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted April 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The online agency could have group space reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAMBKY Posted April 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yes, very possible and the others are correct that it is due to group booking/buying a group of cabins. I was unsure the first time I noticed the price difference too, book & enjoy your "savings". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherb1958 Posted April 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yep, agree group rate . Don't be put off by the term 'group '. You do not have to travel, eat , play etc with the group.:) We have saved hundreds over the years by being part of a group rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigggypup Posted April 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Just make sure that the cheaper price has the port charges and taxes included. Then you are really comparing apples to apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TargetsMom Posted April 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I would also check what, if any, fees are charged by the online agency if you need to cancel or make any changes to your reservation. Some agents and agencies charge fees in addition to any that are charged by the cruise line. kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted April 25, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2016 And find out if the agency honors price drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
