Why should you use a Travel Agent to book a cruise?
There are two reasons: price and service. A Travel Agent who specializes in cruises books thousands or even tens of thousands per year. He or she can negotiate discounts far below the best price an individual consumer would pay. In addition, many cruise Travel Agents purchase blocks of cabins at deep discounts. But price is not the best part. When something goes wrong, a Travel Agent who specializes in cruises has the purchasing power to command better service for you, their customer. Think of it this way. If someone who buys one cruise a year from you complains, do you really care? Probably not. Now, if someone who buys 5,000 cruises a year from you complains, are you going to take care of their problem. Yes, you are. That's exactly what happens. Cruise lines will bend over backwards to correct a problem when a major Travel Agent is involved. As a consumer, if something is not right, you're much better off with a Travel Agent representing you.

What is a commissionable booking?
A commissionable rate is a term for a travel agent. When a travel agent books most hotel rooms, the hotel pays the travel agent a commission, usually 10%. However, when a travel agent books some highly discounted rates then the hotel does not pay the agent a commission. In these cases the travel agent just charges the client a rate that is slightly higher than the rate they are paying the hotel. So those rates which your travel agent will get commission are called commissionable rates. It's not anything that travellers need to worry themselves with.
How can you find a good Travel Agent for booking a cruise?
The travel industry has several designations that help identify agents who are knowledgeable about cruises. The Travel Agent you choose should be either an: ACC (Accredited Cruise Counselor), MCC (Master Cruise Counselor), or ECC (Elite Cruise Counselor) with the CLIA, an industry association. You should also request an Agent who is a top producer with the cruise line you choose. Someone who books 10,000 Carnival cruises a year has more than 100 times the clout of someone who books only 100 Carnival cruises per year. They can use that clout to negotiate better prices, get free upgrades or amenities, or resolve problems if one develops. A good Travel Agent is always responsive. They should get back to you within 1 business day, whether you communicate by phone or email. They should be able to answer your questions about the cruise. Many top Travel Agents are home-based, so as long as you are getting good service, don?t let it bother you if a toddler is singing in the background.
