Over the years I have received the occasional call I get asked "Is that the best price?" The transparent answer to this is, "according to the published fare today, yes". Cruise lines set the prices, not the travel agent or any online site. Fares go up and down depending on how fast or slow the ship's inventory is selling. No travel agency buys cabins in advance and sells at their own prices.
Do I have the best price?
99% of the time you will see pricing is the same. Some agents may try to discount directly from their commissions to win you. This is not my practise. I work based on total honesty and openness. You pay me to give you the expert advise and be your go to person in all your travel needs.
What is the benefit to me?
You save time, frustration and have peace of mind. You are busy enough with your life and you value a professional. If you just want to get away for a weekend and just need to book a simple flight or hotel, then by all means go and book it on line. I will even advise you where to book it. Be assured that even if you booked at a higher fare today and if for some reason there is a drop in future, I will do all I can to be your advocate and go to bat for you so you get the best price. You may be advised by me on a occasional circumstance to wait if I feel there could be a drop in price. This is where as your trusted advisor, you could in the end save hundreds of dollars and more important properly match you to the ideal luxury cruise experience you desire.
