I just priced it on the DCL web site and came up with about the same price. Online travel agents do not typically include taxes and port charges in their initial quote and add them in when you get ready to book. Your price looks ok, but no travel agent is allowed to discount a DCL cruise, unless they are selling group space that they have already purchased. Unless you really want to go through an agent, you can get the same price by booking directly with DCL, and then you have complete control of your reservation, and don't have to go through the agent to make any changes, requests, etc.

Also, you might want to look into the fees Orbitz charges for any changes you make. I believe that I have read that they have a per person fee for all of them. Have you looked into other TAs like DU? Do they offer OBCs with the booking?

Thanks for the help, I will look at dcl.

TA's can't discount but sometimes they have purchased in bulk in the beginning when the itineraries were released and they can still offer "first tier pricing". This means since DCL raises their prices as time goes and as the ship sells out that you may well get a better price thru a TA because they bought the fare in advance. You should always compare!

Just to let you know your user ID is VERY OFFENSIVE
