Which TA to book cruise with?

[NS8VN]

You need to be signed in. There's a glitch hat hits many where the above happens. Sign into your costcotravel account and the prices will go to what you're seeing on Disney.

I've never had it happen in my account but many others have.

Ah thank you. Just did that and it came up the the penny exactly the same as the DCL website.

OK I didn't think we could post that here, I agree with you. That's who I use.

I didn't post the link because frankly I didn't have it at the moment, but I figured it can be googled.

I use Dawn Moseley at Cruise Vacation Outlet (http://www.cruisevacationoutlet.com)

She does a good job of getting back to me via e-mail in a reasonable time, and is VERY thorough in answering questions and providing me with cruise options, DCL or other lines & recommendations. The OBC is very good as well - even their OBC if you book on-board/transfer is quite good compared to other TA's I've seen.

I have used All Seasons for years. Love their attention to detail, their follow-up and their OBC offers. Chuck (owner) is awesome. Sandie is my travel agent.

http://www.allseastravel.com is the URL!

Is there a post that lists the travel agencies we are not allowed to mention here? or are we not allowed to mention ANY besides DU & Costco?

As someone else mentioned, put in their URL. If its not allowed it will get asterisked out!

Is it true that Costco only takes Visa? Do they take other cards for travel? I went to sign up and saw on their website that they only take visa.

Yes, up until June 20th of this year they only accepted Amex but dropped their partnership with them and switched to an exclusive partnership with Visa.

Do you know if your payments go direct to dcl/other cruise line? Or if they are paid to the agency and then they pay dcl, etc.? We are looking for an agent to do another cruise line that dreams unlimited does not book. But we are nervous if payments do not go directly to the line.

Do either of you know if your payments go directly to the cruise line or if they go to the agency? We are looking for another agent who will book ncl, Carnival, etc.

My payments to DCL via my TA always are debited directly by DCL and not my TA.

Same here. My TA has the preferred credit card number on file and I just send her an email when I want to make a payment and it always comes through on that credit card processed by DCL.

I send my payment info to the TA and she calls DCL and makes the payment directly through DCL (my cc bill references DCL - not the TA). She can book through any other cruise line you are interested in

I went into my current cruise booking and see that I could make a payment with visa or mastercard.

Even when they only took Amex as a CC (or other debit cards) they took my non-amex CC. Travel is different than warehouse, it seems.

Another vote for Dreams Unlimited Travel. We've used Tracey Heinrichs for over a dozen cruises and been very happy. Dreams also offers an on-board credit.

Agree with Dreams Unlimited. OBC is awesome!
