KevintheIrishDJ Posted January 11 #1 Share Posted January 11 First, I got a price as a guest. Then I got a lower price after I logged on. I put a 24 hour hold on it and contacted my TA. She got an even lower price!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr H Posted January 11 #3 Share Posted January 11 I second UK's remark. Last several bookings I've made via my travel agent (which is also available in Nassau County), the quote looked nothing like the Azamara web site price. Yes, I walked away with a VERY big smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Cruising Posted January 12 #7 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, KevintheIrishDJ said: Never heard of this. Don't they also pay the TV a %? TAs don’t pay the same price for the cruise as we do, so some TAs (more so in the US) discount their prices or provide a lot of refundable OBC by sacrificing some of their commission, hoping this will increase their sales. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted January 12 #8 Share Posted January 12 Some in the UK also discount or share commission. You have probably over paid for your cruises @KevintheIrishDJ by not shopping around. It’s the same for any travel you book hotels you buy etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
