Do TA's Monitor Prices and Notify Customers?

[Tazzycat]

Should I expect my TA to notify me when the price of my cruise drops? Is that something that every customer expects? I am learning about all this.

Some do and some don't. I have to either call or e-mail my TA to tell her about the price reduction. You should contact them just in case.

VERY few monitor prices for their customers. It is up to us to check the pricing and contact the TA if we find a reduction worth going after.

 

I doubt I would call about $25 but I suppose some might.

My TA is very hands on and watches our cruises carefully. I'm lucky we have such a great relationship. I can always tell he is really working for me!

Some TA's are better at this than others. I would recommend watching the prices yourself and if you see a price drop letting your TA know.

The agency I use, online, has a whole dept for monitoring the reservations they hold and getting price reductions or upgrades etc. They always notify you before making upgrade type changes. Even so I watch what's going on with prices myself just to be sure.

I booked directly through Carnival. Do they monitor for you?

 

I have been logging on daily to check. Just wondering.

If you have booked directly with the cruiseline, I would continue to check prices yourself. Why would the cruiseline want to take money out of their pocket willingly?

I check our cruise price daily so that I can notify our TA. She has lots of customers, and I don't expect her to have the time to monitor all of them. I am lucky that I can e-mail her on weekends, so if the price goes down over the weekend, she can call and get us our reduction. We have been VERY happy with her.

 

Good luck, OP, maybe something will happen at the last minute for you!
