Transfer booking to TA

[EmmasNana]

I might be booking a cruise on line. How many days do I have to transfer to a travel agent?

Depends on the cruise line.  There was a post in the last month or so that had the numbers for all the lines if you can find that.  IIRC 60 days catches most of them.  Can't remember what Carnival was for sure.

It also must be before final payment (in case you are booking a last minute cruise).

So I found a thread that said it is you can transfer up to 90 from date of booking provided you are not beyond final payment.

Curious as to why you would not go directly to TA?

Seems easier to me. Once booked I will check with several of my usual TA's and then go with the best perks. Going directly to the TA's I would need to get quotes from all first. I can fill out all the info faster than having to answer each question so they can fill out forms. I also like to control the booking until the last minute that I can, so will transfer toward the end of the 90 day transfer limit.

 

I haven't sailed on Carnival in awhile and not sure what you can get. I do seem to remember that TA's  weren't allowed to give you much compared to say Royal. I don't know if that has changed or not.
