How many receive any perks from their TA's now when booking a cruise ...

I remember the time when we used to arrive in our stateroom and find a congratulatory bottle of wine or a small shipboard credit etc when booking a cruise, especially if celebrating an Anniversary or a birthday etc. Now it's more like a congratulatory e-mail or note card sent through the mail ... what about anyone else ... what has their experience been like recently ...

CAA used to give $100.00 in photos for cruises. Now they deposit $50.00 in my CAA acct but no longer have any official affiliation with Disney cruise.I decided not to move my current cruise to my TA so I can have more control.

Dreams unlimited travel gives a shipboard credit and a gift basket. I know disney cut back on their commission percentage for the parks. I wonder if same might be true for cruises?

I didn't get anything from CAA when I booked our cruise in Oct 2015 for the Mar 2017 sailing. I used Costco travel for the upcoming cruise. Hard to say no to $700 cashback.

You receive Aeroplan miles when booking with Expedia Cruiseship Centers ... I guess in this day and age of cutbacks of perks of any kind related to travel / flying and so forth, it's rare to find that 'personal' touch ...

Dreams Unlimited mailed us a gist basket and we got an onboard credit (Disney cruise). For our cruise on NCL we booked with Expedia Cruise Center and got Aeroplan miles.
