How to choose a “cruise” travel agent

Pacific-JewelDoes the agent specialize in cruises only? Have they ever gone on cruises? If so, which cruise lines, which ships, how many times?

I for sure wouldn’t go with an agent who doesn’t like or has never been on a cruise ship. Check if they’re a member of the Better Business Bureau, if so… what kind of ratings do they have.

Also, ask if they’re members of the Cruise Lines International Association and the Travel Institute.

and upgrades:

• Use an experience travel agent who specializes in cruises to book your cruise and find you the best price and the cruise to meet your needs.
• You should already be on the mailing lists of as many cruise websites and travel websites as possible to receive cruise specials and sales
• After you book your cruise with the journey agent, watch for your cruise in the specials and sales you receive
