Recommended Booking Agent For Cruise

[wee-haggis]

We are considering a Disney Cruise and have (so far) found several websites with prices that vary by several hundred dollars.
Does anyone recommend any online booking websites (preferrably one that you see and book the actual cabin number).
We are also condidering a Land/Sea option(although I don't think it can do what we want....See below)
We wondered if the Magical Express applied to ....MCO to Hotel......Hotel To Canaveral.......Canaveral to Hotel again.......and Hotel to MCO.
Many folk in previous posts recommended Dreams Unlimited,but we found them actually quite pricey and certainly not the best deal for identical trips.
Thanks

Have always used All Seasons Travel, www.allseastravel.com They don't have the online features you want, but great prices/customer service...

I found http://www.cruisevacationcenter.com/ to have the best price for my January 2006 cruise for 5 staterooms. I checked over 20 places (online and via phone) and they beat them all by a significant amount. You see stateroom number options when you book online.

I'm not sure if they do any Land/Sea deals since they are a Cruise TA, but I'm sure you could ask if you end up going that route.

As Ghostlyhitchiker said cruise vacation center has awesome prices. I spend about 5 hours looking around yesterday prior to booking our 11/2006 cruise and went with CVC. The reservation number was instantly given to me at the end of booking and I looked it up on the DCL website and it was there. I am very happy with the pricing. If comparing the CVC quote to DCL I saved over $500.

This has been discussed many times. I think the best agent out there is Dana @ MICDAN.COM - 1-800-385-8233. The savings from her for our 07/06 cruise are approaching $7 thousand.

I have used Dreams unlimited the sponsors of this board and found the service is very good and very helpful.

Some of the above mentioned places have great prices, but watch out for the travel agency's cancellation fees. I know for sure that one of the above named agencies will charge you a hefty cancellation fee per person (even before final payment is made).

The service from Dreams Unlimited was good, it was just that they could not match price. The rep we dealt with was very pleasant. Also we wanted to confirm our cabin # at booking and they were unable to do it over a week-end. No problem with the rep she was very nice.

We are using Carol at dfwcruises.com and have been very satisfied with her. Questions are answered in a timely manner, either by phone or email. Her pricing was very good as well. If you need more info just PM me and I will be glad to help you.
