That's a shame that she treated you so poorly!
To answer your question...most cruise companies have an agreement that a travel agent must charge the same price they offer so they will never undersell an agent and the agent cannot undersell the cruise line. BUT the savings come in to play when the travel agent offers you upgrades such as wine in your stateroom and perks like onboard credit (Can be used anywhere on the ship).
I always offer my clients both wine in the stateroom and onboard credit. The onboard credit varies depending on the cruise.
This travel agent really did not do a good job to offer you any services!
I hope you enjoy your cruise!
