ScottC4746 Posted June 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I already have a RCCL booking I made direct for a December cruise. I have a friend of mine who is a TA. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to him picking up the booking and handling things here on out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I already have a RCCL booking I made direct for a December cruise. I have a friend of mine who is a TA. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to him picking up the booking and handling things here on out? The best person to ask is your friend. Is he offering anything extra for getting your booking? Will there be change fees or cancel fees? Will he give you multiple price drops without fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladyarli Posted June 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 24, 2016 If you let your friend "take over the booking" as a travel agent, he or she will get a commission from the cruise line. He will be in charge of servicing the booking, and any changes you make or payments on it will be done through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted June 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2016 However, I think the transfer of the booking has to take place within X number of hour or days from original booking for the transfer to be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted June 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2016 However, I think the transfer of the booking has to take place within X number of hour or days from original booking for the transfer to be allowed. It is 60 days from booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, 60 days from initial booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC4746 Posted June 24, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Welp, I did it. He picked up the booking or at least we started the ball rolling and I get $100 onboard credit instead of $50 and a bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted June 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I receive "nothing" from my person anymore and it really sucks hearing about the things others get. I just have guilt getting rid of him. I know, I know; just let him go and tell him the truth but....... AHHHHHHHH:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't use him for your next booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
