Knights on the Beach Posted April 19, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Anyone ever use this TA and have any comments? A friend just got an awesome rate from them would like some input before she books her cruise with them. Thanks!

Knights on the Beach Posted April 19, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Not much. Their website is theinternationaltraveler.us (Am I allowed to put that in here?) She filled out a quote request with Cruise Compete and got the best quote from this agency. She called this morning and got a recording, left a message, and also sent them an e-mail. I don't believe she has heard back from them yet.

derf5585 Posted April 19, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2004 [url="http://theinternationaltraveler.us/"]http://theinternationaltraveler.us/[/url] I found their home page. They must be new. Not in yahoo or google database yet.

SuperSlacker Posted April 19, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I booked my upcoming Inspiration cruise through them.. I would personally tell you to send his quote to a competing TA and make them match it and here's why.... this is from personal experience only! 1.) it's just a guy in his home it seems like, anytime i have called 100% of the time he hasn't been home and i've had to leave a msg and have him call me back, at which point i just got tired of waiting and called him again (on the second time a few hours later he is usually there) 2.) he managed to mess up my booking a lil bit... I intended to book for a 4a gty back in jan. Well he faxed me the confirmation and i just lastweek looked at it a lil closer and upon inspection realized it was for a 1a gty, now me and my GF don't intent on sleeping in bunk beds so i called him (and ofcourse left a msg and etc) and after calling him back he called carnival and found out that i have been upgraded to a 4a cabin from my 1a so it all worked out kinda okay. That's really the only things i can comment on, i'd say find a few TA's and mention his quote and try to find one that will match his price if it is a large deal cheaper. I got his quote from cruisecompete as well. SuperSlacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights on the Beach Posted April 19, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Thanks for the info. When is your cruise on the Inspiration? Did you get your confirmation with your booking number from them right after you booked? Their quote is about $85 less than the next lowest quote, which is Only Fun Vacations. Cherie is looking to book a 1A (as a single) and that $85 difference will just about cover her airfare. I don't know how they are getting the rate so much lower than everyone else.

CrusinCouple Posted April 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I used MJ at International Traveler for my upcoming 4/23/04 on Legend. I also got the quote from Cruise Compete. I have also had to call him and leave message, and he always has called me back, and he responds within hours of emails. I got my docs all look to be in order. I asked him for a quote for my 8/29 Inspiration but he is much higher than the price I got. Good Luck! MS Veendam 4/99 Sovereign Of The Seas 8/01 Sovereign Of The Seas 8/02 Still to come!
