Hi Everyone!
I am a lost breed! A travel agent! I am your neighbor here in the Villages.
First let me say I am in no way soliciting for business. I just thought I add my POV for interest.
The upside to having a travel agent (who you know by name, not a 800 #) is that if there is a snafu before, during or after your trip; you have an advocate working on your behalf. For example the current situation with Grandeur of the Seas fire. You can be one of 2400+ passengers trying to get flights home and get your rebooking information or you can call me and I will be working on your behalf. Often getting you a little extra too!
The other big benefits are money savings! I know ahead of time when many specials will occur, saving you from booking too early or too late.
I
always "thank" my clients with goodies like wine in the stateroom, onboard credit (money you can spend on the ship).
It may pay to get the online pricing and then call an agent to see what extras they are offering. It certainly can't hurt!
You migth be interested to know that I work from home and never do any advertising as most of busines comes from return clients the referrals they send me.
