Do you know some cruise deals?
The cruise lines highly recommend you use a travel agent to book your cruise. Trained agents will direct you toward the itinerary and line that is best for your needs and your wallet. But, they are also a wonderful source for deals. "Travel agents have access to the best cruise values," says Terry Dale, President of the Cruise Line International Association (CLIA).
Do travel agencies sometimes have a larger inventory of cruise staterooms than if I booked directly with the cruise line?
Generally, the answer is "no." Most of the time, agents get the cabins from the cruise line's inventory. However, many larger travel agencies reserve group space on popular sailings, and often have this space available when the line shows the space as "sold out."

How do you get licensed to become a cruise consultant?
Most cruise consultants are merely travel agents that are members of IATA (International Association of Travel Agents). Once you're a member, you're also set up for comissions. Then each cruise line has district and area managers that will provide you with training on their product, policies and other details. You should also consider working for a travel agency that specializes in cruises already - you can learn a lot from the team that's already there.
Does it cost more to book a cruise through a Travel Agent?
NO! Actually, if you use a Travel Agent who specializes in cruises, it may cost a lot less. Travel Agents who book $100,000 or more in cruises per year are in a position to negotiate the best rates for their clients. They can also command upgraded cabins and amenities like fruit baskets or free drinks, at no charge. Many people are afraid that because the Travel Agent earns a commission, the rate will be higher. Unfortunately, when you book a cruise directly from the cruise lines website, you usually pay full price. The cruise line doesn't always ask the right questions to determine if you are eligible for certain discounts, like being older than a particular age, being a resident of a particular State, or even being a member of a Union. A Travel Agent will do all they can to find you the best rate. Further, they may have blocked group space in advance. The prices on that blocked space may be lower than the current cruise prices, but the agents with the blocked space can still sell at the lower rate. Many travel agents have websites where you can request a quote on a cruise, just to shop around. But, remember that having a good relationship with your Travel Agent is more important than saving a dollar or two. If something goes wrong, your Travel Agent is your best friend. If your Travel Agent suggests a different cruise line with the same destination, listen to them. They have the inside scoop, and may be steering you away from a big mistake, like a cruise line that's about to go into bankruptcy or has lousy service. Ask them why they are steering you from one line to another. They should have a good reason. Sometimes people are afraid that Travel Agents will steer them into a cruise line with a higher price to earn a higher commission, but that virtually never happens. Travel Agents want to earn your repeat business by making sure you get the best price, and are happy with your vacation.
Where can one look for sale prices on cruise vacations?
