online cruise booking

[goodstarr]

What online services have people used to book vacations, specifically cruises. I've been to several websites to book a cruise for next year (not DCL) and have seen some discounts but I'm reluctant to book a vacation totally online. Anyone have any experiences with cruisesonly.com, cruise411.com, cruisevaluecenter or any other? I've always dealt with a live TA at an office and I'm scared of doing everything online.

I've used www.buycruises.com to book in the past, and was very satisfied with their service. But I had done all the research prior to booking, was a veteran cruiser, and knew what itinerary, cabin category, dinner time, etc. I wanted, so all they had to do was book it. I'm not sure how good they are if you have a lot of questions. Have you been to www.cruisecritic.com ? It's an invaluable message board when it comes to cruising, and if you do a search of online agencies, I'm sure you'll get many responses. Good luck, and enjoy your cruise!

I used cruisequick.com for my upcoming cruise. Price couldn't be beat and they respond to all emails within 20 minutes. Very pleased!

Thanks everyone. I'm dealing with cruisequick.com now. I'm just scared because I've never booked anything online before. Plus, I have a lot of people going and I need various quotes and I'm only allowed 3 per week. But, so far, the prices are good.
