steve asked me is it better to book
0:02
direct with the cruise line or to use a
0:03
travel agent there are three reasons
0:05
that i never book direct with a cruise
0:07
line first of all it will never be
0:09
cheaper booking direct cruise lines do
0:11
not undercut the price that agents offer
0:14
and often agents will be cheaper because
0:16
they may use some of their commission or
0:17
have promotions and they will offer a
0:19
better price secondly it significantly
0:21
reduces hassles if you have any changes
0:24
there's cancellations problems or
0:26
queries on the cruise you don't have to
0:28
call the cruise line and hold on until
0:30
they answer which could be half an hour
0:32
an hour or who knows you simply contact
0:34
your travel agent and they will sort it
0:36
all out for you it is a huge time saver
0:39
and reduces the amount of stress and
0:42
thirdly a travel agent will get to know
0:45
you really well they'll know your likes
0:47
your preferences and your quirks and
0:49
importantly they can book you on any
0:51
cruise line so if you want to try a new
0:52
cruise line a new itinerary they know
0:54
exactly what you like and they can seek
0:56
that out on whatever the right cruise
