What are some tips about working with a cruise Travel Agent?

In: Cruises
[Edit]

Answer

Spend a few minutes on the web or with brochures before you call the agent. Know what month and year you want to travel, who the passengers are, what destination you'd like to go to, and your approximate price range.

It sounds amazing, but some people call and expect the Travel Agent to tell them all these things. An agent can't possibly know if your Aunt Tillie will want to come with you, or your teenaged son. That's something you need to work out with Aunt Tillie and Junior.

Many, many people call without thinking about where they want to go. The Bahamas and the Carribean are both warm, but they have different high seasons, different climates, different attractions and different cultures. Both are radically different from an Alaskan cruise. This is a decision you have to make yourself. The Travel Agent can't do it for you.
