Default Cruising - Travel Agent, Internet or Cruise Line?
Several folks on this forum have recommended using internet websites (Vacations-To-Go, Cruise Critic, etc.) while others have recommended using a travel agent. Recently, since I had several ship specific questions, I decided to call the cruise line direct (Holland America) and got all my questions answered and found the prices to be no higher than online and they offered the total package including cruise fare, insurance and home city coach service ... I am wondering why not deal directly with the cruise line? What am I missing?
